The 10 micron peel or “weekend peel”, can be performed comfortably in our center with only topical anesthetic cream. This procedure causes mild flakiness for three days resulting in a polished rejuvenated appearance.
The 60 micron peel can correct pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, fine lines, wrinkles, and a dull complexion and be fully healed in 5-7 days. Mild redness may persist up to two weeks but can be easily covered with makeup. This procedure is a little more aggressive and requires oral analgesics, as well as topical anesthetic cream and will require transportation arrangements for the patient.
Our studies show that a total of 4-5 10 micron peels performed every 2-4 weeks achieve results comparable to a deeper peel, with no downtime.
How it works: Prior to the Micro Laser Peel, a topical anaesthetic is applied to numb the skin. The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes. The Sciton laser precisely removes the topmost layer of the skin, to be replaced by new, smoother skin.
Recovery: Some downtime (5 to 7 days) may be required due to redness. The immediate results are impressive, and will continue to improve for several months.
Results: Wrinkles, scars, and pigment disorders have been successfully treated with Sciton Micro Laser Peels. Treatment may be repeated 1-2x per year, but a single treatment can have impressive results.
