Discover The Benefits Of Undergoing A Micro Laser Peel Procedure

By Ida Dorsey


Facial skin is particularly susceptible to damage as it more exposed to the elements than other areas of the body, this and normal aging can cause the complexion to lose elasticity and sometimes develop hyperpigmented marks and fine creases. Today, one of the most effective and less invasive ways to eliminate these imperfections is the micro laser peel. This procedures offers Cincinnati, OH clients fast, dramatic results.

The laser used has been designed for this purpose, and when its beam contacts the top layer of epidermal cells, it vaporizes them. Sometimes a higher intensity beam is used, if the patient wants a deeper treatment. The ablation of the existing skin cells, stimulates the growth of new ones, which leads to a revitalized, firmer complexion.

Highly customizable, this procedure can be adjusted to suit the specific concerns of each patient. At the micro level, treatment strengths range from 10 to 30 microns. Lighter or "nano" treatments implement lower intensities than this and produce more subtle results, usually calling for multiple sessions. The average peel takes at most a half-hour to complete, and a few days to heal.

Patients don't have to do anything in particular to prepare for this type of procedure. However it is advisable to schedule it for a time when one will have several days for recovery immediately following it because it does produce a noticeable redness, which is why most patients tend to stay in afterwards until this fades. Closely adhering to the physician's post-care instructions is essential to complete healing.

Before the peel, the skin will be cleansed thoroughly and a topical anesthetic will be used to minimize discomfort. Safety shields are placed over the eyes of the patient, and a fan will blow a cooling breeze on the treatment area to create a soothing effect. A computer-guided scanner then directs the beam of the laser over the area in a specific manner. This usually takes only a few minutes to a half-hour and there is most often little or no pain.

Results will be apparent in 3 to 4 days after the treatment. Those who have opted for a deeper peel may only require one procedure to obtain the look they want, while patients who have chosen a lighter depth may need a series of treatments to achieve the desired results. Some people also combine it with another procedure such as a photofacial for the ultimate in skin rejuvenation.

The deepest level of treatment is usually suggested for any patient who is troubled with scars from acne, or more pronounced signs of aging such as deep lines, loss of cheek volume, or an undefined jawline. This procedure requires that patients avoid sun exposure and the use of aspirin, and they will need more time to recover, usually a week.

Deep peels are an effective stand-alone treatment or they can also be used to further enhance the outcome of a facelift procedure. Patients who opt for this deep procedure can enjoy the long-lasting benefits it produces in that it continues to stimulate collagen synthesis in the skin for several months, which maintains the complexion's radiant, youthful appearance.
