If you don’t have the time required to recover from microdermabrasion, then a MicroLaser Peel might be what you have been looking for, says Dr. Pooja Malik of Mullica Hill Skincare in Mullica Hill, New Jersey. This type of peel is good for a variety of skin types, doesn’t hurt, and can make your skin look smoother and younger with little downtime.
Many med spa treatments make the skin look fresher and younger. In recent years, the most popular ones have included chemical peels, as well as microdermabrasion and dermabrasion. And now people are turning also to the MicroLaser Peel, also known as the “weekend peel.”
The MicroLaser Peel ablates the outermost layers of the skin. The procedure is tailored specifically to address the nature of the skin condition to be corrected. Skin conditions such as wrinkles, acne scars, pigment problems and have successfully been treated by this laser peel.
Skin Resurfacing
As a skin resurfacing treatment, the MicroLaser Peel is a relatively easy one with little downtime. Using the Sciton laser, it allows patients to heal quicker than most other type of laser peels, and most people heal within three to five days. That is because this peel produces little tissue damage, which means less swelling.
The number of treatments required will be up to your med spa professional who will ascertain exactly what skincare routine this method you will require. Only a topical anesthetic will be required, and most people find the treatment not too taxing.
Repeat Treatments
The results of a MicroLaser Peel can last anywhere from six months to one year, depending on the patient, and repeat treatments will be necessary to maintain the results. The MicroLaser Peel is ideal for people who want the same results that microdermabrasion can offer, but who don’t have the time required for recovery.
You will be able to see results in just a few days (after the redness subsides), as you’ll be sporting softer and smoother skin that also looks better, even to a casual observer. Be aware that there also might be some itchiness and flaking, but this will also subside quickly.
