MicroLaserPeel

Clear, even-toned skin can be hard to come by and even harder to maintain. Our skin can be subject to many different spots and blemishes due to damage and aging, and when the problem areas are rooted deep down, they can seem impossible to remove. A MicroLaserPeel treatment in Gulfport, MS can precisely remove the blemished layers of skin needed in a quick, easy procedure.

What is MicroLaserPeel Treatment?

This laser skin resurfacing technology works by vaporizing each individual very thin layer of skin, with the depth depending on the treatment area. The system is highly-precise and customized to fit your skin and anatomy through a computer-guided procedure, meaning your problem areas can be treated at exactly the depth required, unlike chemical peels, which can be less accurate. Things like wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, uneven skin tone, and sun damage can be easily treated with a MicroLaserPeel and provide a more youthful appearance.

Who is a Candidate for Micro Laser Peel Laser Resurfacing?

Those with a busy schedule who want the best possible results can benefit greatly from MicroLaserPeel treatments versus a chemical peel or microdermabrasion procedure. This laser skin treatment can be used on most areas of the skin but is most popular on the face and neck. If you’re struggling with uneven skin texture, uneven skin tone/pigment irregularities, or sun-damaged skin, this is likely the perfect treatment option for you. This is especially the case for patients who are looking for minimal downtime.

Patients throughout the Gulfport, Biloxi, and Gulf Coast, MS area choose MicroLaserPeel for its precision and reliable results.

What Happens During the Laser Treatment?

Before the procedure, a topical anesthetic or topical numbing cream might be applied for optimal comfort, depending on the depth of the peel. Most light peels don’t require it. Your eyes will also be protected from the laser light with safety shields so that your vision is not damaged.

As the laser is applied to the skin, it vaporizes the skin layer, which is made up of mostly water. This allows a new layer of skin to grow back that is smooth, youthful, and blemish-free. Because the laser skin resurfacing technology is so precise, it carries a minimal risk of scarring versus other similar procedures.

Microlaser Peel Post Treatment Care and Healing Process

Immediately after the procedure, the skin will feel dry and flaky, and there will be some skin redness and mild swelling as well. This dehydrated skin will begin to peel off over the next few days. It may also feel similar to sunburn and appear red and irritated. The area is mostly healed within three to four days, provided that any aftercare instructions given by Dr. Richardson are followed. You may be given some skin care products to keep the area moisturized and protected.

As with a chemical peel or microdermabrasion, the skin is sensitive to sunlight afterward, so be sure to avoid any direct sunlight. This will ensure you get the best results in tone and pigmentation as the new skin grows in.

How many treatments you need will depend on your unique skincare goals.
