MicroLaser Peel in Fresno, CA
Light erbium laser resurfacing for smoother texture, brighter skin, and visible sun damage.
MicroLaserPeel is a customizable laser resurfacing treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin to improve fine lines, rough texture, pigmentation, and visible signs of sun damage. At Revay Aesthetics in Fresno, CA, MicroLaserPeel offers more correction than a superficial facial or peel while requiring less downtime than deeper laser resurfacing.
Sometimes referred to as a “weekend peel,” MicroLaserPeel precisely resurfaces the skin at a controlled depth, encouraging damaged surface cells to shed and fresh, healthier looking skin to emerge. The result is a smoother, brighter, more even complexion with a relatively short recovery period.
For patients who want visible skin resurfacing but aren't ready for a more intensive treatment like Contour TRL, MicroLaserPeel can offer the ideal middle ground.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What can MicroLaserPeel treat?
MicroLaserPeel is designed to address concerns that live primarily within the outer layers of the skin. At Revay Aesthetics, MicroLaserPeel can be used to improve:
- Fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Brown spots and uneven pigmentation
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Dull skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores
- Superficial acne scars
- Visible signs of photoaging
- Overall skin quality
Because the treatment depth can be adjusted, MicroLaserPeel can be customized based on the degree of correction you're looking for and the amount of downtime that works for your schedule.
How does MicroLaserPeel work?
MicroLaserPeel uses Sciton's erbium laser technology to precisely remove a controlled layer of damaged skin from the surface.
Unlike non-ablative lasers that work beneath an intact skin surface, MicroLaserPeel is an ablative laser treatment, meaning it physically removes damaged outer skin cells. This initiates the body's natural healing response and encourages fresh, healthy tissue to replace the treated layer.
Treatment depth can be precisely controlled based on your skin concerns. A lighter treatment can provide a fresh, polished appearance with relatively little downtime, while a deeper MicroLaserPeel can provide more significant correction of texture, fine lines, and sun damage.
What is a MicroLaserPeel treatment like?
Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation to assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine the appropriate resurfacing depth.
Before treatment, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. The laser handpiece is then passed across the treatment area, precisely removing the predetermined depth of damaged surface tissue.
Most patients describe the treatment as a warm, prickling sensation. Treatment itself typically takes approximately 30–60 minutes depending on the area being resurfaced and the depth selected.
Afterward, the skin will feel warm and sensitive, similar to a sunburn.
When will I see results?
One of the benefits of MicroLaserPeel is how quickly patients can begin to see visible improvement.
As the treated outer layer of skin sheds over the first several days, fresher skin is revealed underneath. Once initial healing is complete, patients typically notice smoother texture, brighter tone, and a more even complexion.
Improvements continue as the skin completes its healing process. Depending on your concerns and desired degree of correction, MicroLaserPeel may be performed as a standalone treatment or as part of a series.
What is the recovery time for MicroLaserPeel?
Recovery depends on the depth of your treatment, but MicroLaserPeel typically involves several days of visible downtime. Following treatment, you may experience:
- Redness and warmth similar to a sunburn
- Mild swelling
- Tight or sensitive skin
- Peeling or flaking as damaged surface cells shed
- Fresh pink skin as the treated area heals
Many patients are socially ready within approximately 3–7 days, although deeper treatments may require additional healing time.
Because freshly resurfaced skin is particularly sensitive to UV exposure, careful sun avoidance and consistent broad-spectrum SPF are essential following treatment. Your Revay Aesthetics provider will give you specific aftercare instructions based on the depth of your peel.
Who is a good candidate for MicroLaserPeel?
MicroLaserPeel may be ideal for patients who:
- Have rough, dull, or uneven skin
- Want to improve fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- Have visible sun damage or pigmentation
- Want more correction than a facial or chemical peel can provide
- Are comfortable with several days of downtime
- Want ablative resurfacing without committing to a deeper laser treatment
For patients choosing between lighter fractional treatments like MOXI and Clear + Brilliant or deeper resurfacing with Contour TRL, MicroLaserPeel provides another customizable level of correction.
