Laser Facial Peeling

What is this?

Laser facial peeling is a treatment to reduce facial wrinkles and skin irregularities such as blemishes or acne scars.  There are better results in lighter skins with superficial wrinkles.

Procedure

​

Laser peeling treatments or chemical peels with TCA are helpful for improving overall skin tone and texture on skin with fine wrinkles or sun damage.  A chemical peel uses an applied solution to gently peel off the outermost layers of the skin.

​

Duration

​

A partial laser skin resurfacing procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and a full treatment can take up to two hours.

​

Recovery

​

Following laser skin resurfacing, recovery takes roughly two weeks while the treated area heals and a new layer of healthy skin appears. Pinkness or redness of the skin usually lasts longer, sometimes persisting for up to several months.

​

Risks

​

Temporary skin acne, infection, scars, skin rash, allergies, skin irritation, or even a temporary hyperpigmentation.

Results
