Sun damage, fine lines, uneven texture, and dull skin can make your complexion look older than you feel. MicroLaserPeel® is an advanced laser resurfacing treatment designed to remove the outermost layers of damaged skin, revealing a smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion.
Often referred to as the "weekend peel," MicroLaserPeel delivers more dramatic skin renewal than a traditional chemical peel while requiring significantly less downtime than deeper laser resurfacing procedures.
What Is MicroLaserPeel?
MicroLaserPeel is a customizable laser skin resurfacing treatment performed with the Sciton® Erbium laser system. The treatment precisely removes a very thin layer of damaged skin, allowing healthier new skin to replace it during the healing process.
Because your provider can control the depth of treatment with exceptional precision, MicroLaserPeel can be tailored to your skin type, concerns, and desired level of rejuvenation.
The result is smoother skin, improved tone, and a refreshed appearance with less recovery time than more aggressive laser resurfacing treatments.

How Does MicroLaserPeel Work?
Over time, environmental damage, sun exposure, and natural aging cause dead skin cells to accumulate while collagen production slows.
MicroLaserPeel works by gently removing the damaged outer layer of skin with highly controlled laser energy. As your skin heals, fresh new skin cells emerge, and collagen remodeling helps improve skin texture and firmness over time.
Because treatment depth is customizable, your provider can create a personalized plan based on your skin concerns and recovery preferences.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your appointment typically begins with a consultation and skin evaluation.
During treatment:
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed.
A topical numbing cream may be applied to improve comfort.
Protective eyewear will be provided.
The laser is passed over the treatment area with controlled precision.
Most treatments take approximately 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Patients commonly describe the sensation as warmth with mild stinging or tingling.
Recovery & Downtime
MicroLaserPeel is often called the "weekend laser peel" because recovery is relatively short compared to deeper resurfacing procedures.
Following treatment, you may experience:
Redness similar to a moderate sunburn
Mild swelling
Tightness
Dryness
Light peeling or flaking
Most patients return to normal daily activities within three to five days, although healing time varies based on treatment depth and individual skin response.
Your provider will recommend a personalized skincare routine, including moisturizer, gentle cleansing, and diligent sun protection to support healing.
