Arlington MicroLaser Peel
Micro Downtime, Macro Results
MicroLaser Peel at SkinDC offers a powerful solution to improve your skin's appearance with minimal downtime. You can look forward to getting beautiful, rejuvenated skin with this gentle approach.
What Is MicroLaser Peel?
MicroLaser Peel offers a precise, effective way to address a myriad of skin concerns.
This minimal-to-moderate epidermal laser peel precisely removes a thin layer of skin using a specialized laser to achieve levels of skin rejuvenation that cannot be matched by any other non-invasive treatment.
Unlike traditional chemical peels or microdermabrasion, MicroLaser Peel allows for precise control over the depth of penetration, making it customizable to the unique needs of each individual's skin.
This innovative treatment is particularly effective for improving the skin's texture, tone, and clarity by reducing the appearance of:
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Scars
- Pigmentation issues
- Sun damage
It bridges the gap between mild, superficial treatments and more intense laser resurfacing, providing patients with a solution that offers significant results with minimal downtime.
How MicroLaser Peel Works at SkinDC
The MicroLaser Peel procedure uses a specialized erbium laser to remove the outermost layers of the skin. The laser beam is scanned over a treatment area to remove a very thin layer of the skin, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
The beauty of MicroLaser Peel lies in its precision. The depth of the peel can be adjusted based on the specific skin condition being treated and the desired outcome.
The laser targets only the epidermis or the outer layer of skin, removing it with high accuracy and causing the body to trigger its natural healing process.
As the treated area heals, the new skin cells that form give the skin a tighter, younger-looking surface. The procedure encourages the production of collagen, further enhancing the skin's firmness and resilience.
What to Expect With MicroLaser Peel
MicroLaser Peel treatments are typically quick — often completed in under 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
You may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, akin to a sensation of warmth or the snapping of a rubber band against the skin. However, we can apply a topical anesthetic beforehand to minimize discomfort.
Post-treatment, you can expect some redness and a sensation similar to sunburn, which may last a few days. Swelling is also possible, depending on the depth of the peel. The skin will begin to peel within a few days, revealing the new, revitalized layer beneath.
The results of a MicroLaser Peel are noticeable almost immediately after the healing process is complete, with continued improvements seen over the following months. Skin appears more youthful, smoother, and more radiant.
For the best results, you may require a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart.
