Over time, the sun takes a toll on our skin, making us look older prematurely. Although we can’t stop our skin from seeing the sun, we can help reverse the effects of the damage and help prevent further damage. The goal is the health and beauty of our skin. We at Southern Surgical Arts have several different procedures that can help roll back the clock and bring back your beautiful skin.
MicroLaserPeel
A MicroLaserPeel utilizes a scanning erbium laser to remove the outer layers of your skin in a safe and precise manner. We choose the depth of the peel based on your specific skin and how much downtime you can tolerate. We can perform MicroLaserPeel from very gentle to very aggressive, and everything in between.
Unlike earlier lasers, the MicroLaserPeel can be used on the full face, neck, chest, hands, etc. We can also treat smaller areas of need, such as the eyes and mouth, without the risk of changing the color of your skin. This was not possible with earlier laser technology.
One ten-micron MicroLaserPeel is the equivalent of four to six microdermabrasion treatments. You will experience two to six days of redness and/or peeling with this procedure, depending on the depth. We may recommend anywhere from one to six treatments, depending on your skin and schedule.
MicroLaserPeel, using the Sciton® Laser, can be done as a stand-alone treatment, or in combination with other lasers as well. This treatment has become one of the most effective skin treatments available today.
