Before and After
MicroLaserPeel Minneapolis
MicroLaserPeel treats skin conditions associated with aging and active life styles. MicroLaserPeel is the ideal treatment for those patients that want improved skin with immediate lasting results, little time off, discomfort, or post-treatment care.
PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
This surgery can be done under local anesthesia. The skin is treated with a cream called lido/tetra/prilo demi-gel to numb the area. An intense beam of light vaporizes thin controlled layers of skin. In order to create the optimal outcome, the surgeon can fine tune and individualize treatment to address each area of the face.
WHO IS A CANDIDATE?
- If you have unwanted facial lines or wrinkles.
- If you have acne or surgical scars.
- If you have brown spots and/or sun damage on the chest and hands.
INTENDED RESULT
- To remove lines on the face, superficial acne scars and irregular pigmentation. Lines around the mouth, eyes and forehead can also be treated.
- To rejuvenate the skin and bring back a more youthful appearance.
RECUPERATION AND HEALING
The Erbium laser removes a thin layer of tissue and causes less heat, or thermal damage than CO2 lasers. This allows for a much speedier recovery. The patient can return to work wearing make-up in approximately one week and the skin will remain pink for several weeks.
OTHER OPTIONS
Depending on the type and severity of the lines, BOTOX® Cosmetic and/or collagen and fat injections in addition to your laser surgery may be required to give you the optimal result.
INSURANCE GUIDELINES
This treatment is considered cosmetic, and therefore, is not covered by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment.
