MicroLaserPeel in Charlotte – Laser Skin Resurfacing – Graper Cosmetic Surgery
Dr. Robert Graper of Graper Cosmetic Surgery is proud to offer his skin care patients an advanced method of superficial skin resurfacing for improved skin texture and tone and a more youthful appearance. The MicroLaserPeel by Sciton consistently delivers remarkable results because it offers unsurpassed precision and can be customized to each patient’s individual skin enhancement needs.
MicroLaserPeel: The Procedure
The MicroLaserPeel involves the use of a leading-edge laser to remove a thin layer of damaged skin. The laser uses a computer-guided scanner to ensure maximum precision and even results. The laser can also be adjusted to remove just the right amount of the outermost layer of the skin to correct each patient’s unique skin problems. Depending on the treatment plan of each patient, as well as the level of invasiveness, the MicroLaserPeel may be performed under topical anesthesia, and treatment time generally lasts anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. MicroLaserPeel can be used to improve the skin on any area of the body, except under the eyes.
MicroLaserPeel is used to successfully treat the following skin conditions:
- Sun damage (freckles)
- Pigment irregularities
- Mild wrinkles
- Scars
- Keratosis
MicroLaserPeel Recovery
MicroLaserPeel recuperation time generally lasts about three to four days. Shortly following treatment, patients will notice a “frosty” skin appearance, which will continue to peel over the course of a few days, exposing new, healthy skin underneath. Most patients experience mild skin redness and swelling. During the recovery time, patients are advised to stay out of the sun and follow specific aftercare instructions. Depending on each patient's aesthetic desires and skin-problem severity, some patients may wish to undergo more than one treatment session to achieve the best results.
MicroLaserPeel Results
The final results of the MicroLaserPeel become evident within a few days, after which time patients are able to return to work and other daily activities. Also known as the “weekend peel,” a MicroLaserPeel treatment provides patients with vibrant, more youthful-looking skin with improved texture and an even color in just a few days.
