MICRO
LASER PEEL
The Micro Laser Peel
is a superficial epidermal exfoliation to a light dermal resurfacing
skin treatment. The depth is controlled by the energy
of the Erbium:YAG laser, and is predetermined by evaluation of patient’s
desires and treatment goals.
The Erbium laser provides for ultimate precision in skin resurfacing,
allowing the operator to set treatment parameters for as superficial
as a 10-micron epidermal ablation to deep surgical skin resurfacing,
equivalent to the depth of treatment accomplished by CO2 laser. Micro
Laser Peel is the newest and most effective way presently available
to treat accumulated sun damage and aging skin without the downtime
of deeper
surgical skin resurfacing.
Micro Laser Peel is a smoothing or polishing procedure for the skin.
The goal of the procedure is removal of damage with the intent of
improving vitality of the skin. Deeper treatments yield more
significant improvement,
but also have more downtime for healing. Uneven pigmentation, fine
epidermal lines, actinic keratoses, and keratinization are significantly
improved.
A pre conditioning skin care program with topical products is mandatory
prior to undergoing a Micro Laser Peel. This will be discussed
with you at your initial consultation, by your Esthetician.
The Micro Laser Peel is the next generation skin treatment beyond
microdermabrasion, for extremely effective skin rejuvenation.
Patient may discuss goals
with the Physician and the Esthetician. Results will vary according
to skin type and condition upon starting treatment. It is strongly
recommended
that a program of home skin care product usage be undertaken
to further any gains made with the treatments. A series of 4
treatments
at 3
month intervals is suggested, followed by a maintenance protocol
of treatment
and home care.
Micro Laser Peel is offered as an alternative to other methods
of non-invasive exfoliation, such as enzymatic, alpha/beta
hydroxy acid
or chemical
peeling. It is not intended to replace surgery, dermabrasion
or ablative laser
resurfacing. Surgical intervention may be necessary to treat
dermal scarring or tighten loose skin.
