What To Expect From A Micro Laser Peel Treatment

By Karina Frost


People who are looking to minimize the signs of aging now have an option that offers effective results and faster healing times. The Micro Laser Peel rejuvenates the skin by gently removing only the uppermost layer, barely invasive, it can be used in combination with other treatments and is easy to tailor to each patient's expectations. It is mostly used on the face, but is also suitable for the hands, neck, and chest. Cincinnati patients will find this information helpful.

This procedure works by laser technology that targets the water contained within the epidermal cells, these wavelengths cause its temperature to rise to the point where it vaporizes, effectively ablating the skin's surface layer. The area treated can vary in depth, typically between 4 and 50 microns, all of which are finer than the width of a hair. When this occurs, the imperfections of the skin are eliminated, allowing new skin to grow.

The patient will be provided with protective eye-wear before the procedure and there may also be a topical anesthetic applied to the area being treated. A computer-programmed scanner guides the laser into position, as it works, it often makes a snapping sound. The length of the treatment time will range from a few minutes to longer than an hour, it all depends on the size and number of areas treated.

Once the procedure is completed, the patient can expect that the skin will be slightly swollen for several hours or into the next day. There will also be redness, which will last somewhat longer, and is apt to be more noticeable following deeper treatments. During recovery, it's recommended to avoid direct sunlight, but if this is necessary, one must wear a hat and sunblock with a high SPF.

Bandages or dressings do not need to be applied after this treatment. The physician will typically prescribe an occlusive ointment for the patient to use the first several days, to help the skin retain its moisture, regular moisturizers can be used after this. With proper care of the skin, most patients are fully recovered in a few days.

After the skin has healed, the patient should be able to see the full effect of the treatment. Skin will be evenly toned, with a refined texture, wrinkles and spots will be gone or barely visible, and it should have an overall healthy glow to it.

Patients who undergo a deeper treatment from the start, may find that there is no need for subsequent ones if they are pleased with the outcome. Others may opt for multiple procedures that penetrate less deeply as to ensure a speedier healing time. It is usually safe to repeat this process after 4 to 8 weeks.

Anyone who wants a safe approach to younger-looking skin that does not have any risks associated with it would be wise to consider this option. Many patients who have undergone it are very happy with the results and how little time it took for them to recover. As long as they follow the directions for post-treatment care, complications are highly unlikely.
