Chemical peels have long been an effective treatment to repair sun-damaged skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and other skin imperfections. However, in the past few years, micro laser peels have emerged as a popular alternative. Like a chemical peel, a micro laser peel ablatively removes the surface layer of skin to reveal underlying fresh skin cells. Unlike a chemical peel, the laser action also heats the lower skin layers to induce tightening and stimulate collagen and elastin production naturally.

If you’re interested in experiencing the skin renewal benefits of a micro laser peel in Naples, Florida, Southwest Florida’s Tru Glō Medspa offers clients MicroLaserPeel®. Powered by advanced erbium laser resurfacing technology that has proven more effective than CO2-powered lasers, MicroLaserPeel® is minimally invasive with limited downtime. Let’s examine how MicroLaserPeel® works and how it can effectively treat sun-damaged skin and other imperfections.

What is MicroLaserPeel® and How Does it Work?

MicroLaserPeel® is a medical-grade ablative laser resurfacing treatment that uses concentrated light waves to remodel the surface skin layer. Much like any peel, the laser action exfoliates the upper layer of damaged skin to reveal the healthier, smoother skin below. MicroLaserPeel® allows for precise targeting of damaged skin and can be customized to address each client’s degree of skin damage with lighter or deeper resurfacing. Whether light or deep resurfacing, the laser energy also heats the deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen fiber contraction and the production of new collagen and elastin for enhanced firmness and elasticity.

Typically conducted in under an hour, just one MicroLaserPeel® session in Naples with Tru Glō Medspa can start reversing the damage caused by too much sun exposure and help make skin look years younger. Subsequent sessions can further enhance the initial age-defying results, and MicroLaserPeel® can be combined with other aesthetic laser treatments—like Forever Young BBL™—to optimize results. Skin issues that MicroLaserPeel® effectively treats include:

• Sun damage
• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Dull skin tone
• Rough or uneven texture
• Blotchiness
• Pigmentation issues
• Scars
• Keratoses

While most clients typically seek MicroLaserPeel® treatment to address facial skin damage and concerns, it’s also suitable for treating the neck, chest, and hands.

Erbium Ablative Laser Benefits Over CO2 Lasers

MicroLaserPeel’s® erbium laser technology represents an advancement over CO2 lasers with greater control over tissue ablation, precise targeting, and shorter recovery times. Erbium lasers operate at a wavelength absorbed by cellular water molecules in the skin, which reduces potential thermal damage to surrounding tissues compared to CO2 lasers. This allows for powerful ablation of surface and moderately deeper skin layers, and precise targeting of skin damage and imperfections with minimal risk of causing post-inflammatory pigmentation issues. The social downtime and discomfort while recovering from the post-procedure sunburn-like redness, swelling, and peeling is also much shorter than with CO2 lasers. While recovering from a CO2 laser session can take one to three weeks, depending on the depth of treatment, MicroLaserPeel® clients typically feel comfortable showing their new skin within a week.

Your Tru Glō Medspa MicroLaserPeel® Session in Naples

Your MicroLaserPeel® session in Naples at Tru Glō Medspa begins with a consultation to assess your skin, determine aesthetic goals, and strategize your session’s depth and skin conditioning treatment. Prior to the procedure, your aesthetician will thoroughly cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic if requested. During the procedure, your aesthetician glides the MicroLaserPeel® handpiece over the target areas, while a computer precisely directs the lightwave’s depth and targeting. After all treatment areas have been covered, typically within under 40 minutes, your aesthetician will apply a healing ointment to your skin, and you’re free to go.

After the procedure, your skin will be red, scaly, and swollen and peel within a few days, but within about five days or less, this will subside as your new, smoother-looking, radiant skin emerges. MicroLaserPeel’s® skin repair and enhancement results are technically permanent, though your skin will continue to face the natural changes that come with aging and exposure to sunlight.
