Renew Your Look    And Your Spirit

First there was dermabrasion, then microdermabrasion. These are still excellent procedures, and now a Micro Laser Peel is another effective way to treat the years of sun damage that most of us have to show for our years of fun.

What is a micro laser peel?

It’s a smoothing and polishing of the skin, with a view to removing damage and increasing the skin’s vitality. It’s a type of exfoliation and can be done to varying depths, decided upon with Dr. Fante and his staff before beginning.

The procedure

  • Before you have this procedure, you should go through a conditioning skin care program that uses topical products.
  • A half-hour or an hour before the treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied.
  • With the topical anesthetic and cold air from a special machine, there’s almost no pain.
  • The Sciton Erbium laser controls the exact depth during the procedure and usually works to a depth of 30 to 40 microns
  • It’s usually done in a series of 4 treatments, spaced apart by 3 months.
  • Careful ongoing skin care during the treatment period is recommended to maximize the results. Dr. Fante and his staff will work with you on this.

Recovery and results

  • Recovery time is 3 to 7 days, depending on the depth of treatment you had, and on your individual healing pattern
  • There’ll be some redness for about 2 days
  • You can be back at work after 4 days or so
  • You’ll have significantly less sun damage
  • The fine lines take a bit longer to disappear because it’s the result of collagen remodeling in response to the laser light, and this takes several months to happen
  • The results will be affected by your pre-treatment, ongoing skin care, and on your skin type
