MicroLaser
MicroLaser peels use photorejuvenation to safely remove thin layers of skin from the epidermis. It reduces the appearance of blemishes and gives the skin a radiant and youthful appearance.
MicroLaser peels target various skin issues, such as acne scars, hyperpigmentation, freckles, fine lines, and wrinkles. Not only does this cutting-edge laser technology remove dull skin, but it also stimulates the production of collagen. The MicroLaser peel treatment stimulates cellular regrowth, providing a refreshed, glowing look that continues to improve in the weeks after the treatment.
What is a MicroLaser Peel?
The MicroLaser peel, otherwise known as the “weekend peel” is a type of photorejuvenation treatment that uses light technology to enhance the appearance of the skin. The laser grazes over the treatment area, blasting the skin with light energy and removing damaged cells.The device warms the deeper layers of the skin to promote the growth of collagen (a protein necessary for the reproduction of skin cells). This gentle warming sensation stimulates dormant skin cells, which makes the skin feel tighter, smoother, and softer.
MicroLaser Peel Benefits
The MicroLaser peel is especially beneficial for those who want to reduce the appearance of sun damage, scars, discoloration, age spots, and fine lines. The laser penetrates deep into the epidermis, stimulating cellular regrowth and collagen production for long-lasting improvements.

How Long Will Results Last?
After the treatment, the area will redden as dead skin peels away, which takes two to four days. The skin will look and feel invigorating when the healing process is complete. Not only does the process remove dull and imperfect skin, but it encourages the growth of new skin cells so that the skin will continue to shine as new cell growth flourishes. With proper skincare, the results will last for three to five years. Some people may get one treatment, whereas others may need additional treatments to achieve their desired results.

Microlaser Peel
Frequently Asked Questions
Areas being treated will be thoroughly cleansed, and your eyes will be covered by safety shields. Dr. Nazarian will set the laser handpiece above the skin and keep it steady as the computer-led scanner moves the laser beam around the skin. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the entire procedure usually lasts no more than 30 minutes.
One of the major benefits of MicroLaser Peel is that the procedure causes little to no pain because it primarily deals with the top layers of the skin. Most patients can tolerate the treatment with no anesthetic at all, but a topical numbing cream is typically used for deeper settings.
Immediately after the treatment, patients may notice that their skin has a “frosty”? look. This is simply the dehydrated skin preparing to peel away within the days following treatment. Some patients can experience mild swelling, slight skin redness and/or a sensation similar to a sunburn.
Most patients feel comfortable enough to return to work within 3-4 days, giving this procedure the nickname “The Weekend Peel.”
On average, a MicroLaser peel will take half an hour to complete, but this time may vary slightly, depending on the amount and size of the targeted areas. Also, prior to the procedure itself, a numbing cream will be applied for approximately fifteen minutes.
MicroLaser peels come with little to no pain. This is because of the topical ointment given to numb the areas. In addition, only the epidermis is being targeted, so the laser is not penetrating deep into the skin. There may be mild irritation which can be relieved with Aquaphor.
Immediately after treatment, you will experience redness and peeling as the dull skin flakes away on its own. This process will continue for approximately 2-4 days. When this process is over, your skin will look and feel smooth and tight.
MicroLaser peels come with a plethora of benefits including but not limited to: the reduction or elimination of acne scars, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and the like.
A laser peel is superior to a chemical peel in that it is safer; it does not expose the skin to harsh, organ-damaging chemicals. Laser peels can also pinpoint specific areas on the skin that chemical peels can easily overlook.
The healing process takes a few days. However, you will continue to see improvements weeks after the procedure. The results from MicroLaser Peel typically last from three to four years, but by taking excellent care of your skin, you can keep it looking clear and youthful.
