Now you can have younger looking, healthier feeling skin with a popular new treatment – the Contour™ MicroLaserPeel™. The "weekend" skin peel, the MicroLaserPeel™, treats skin conditions associated with aging and an active lifestyle. You can see improvements in just a few days.

What is the MicroLaserPeel™?

It is an intra-epidermal laser peel that precisely removes the outermost layers of the skin. The procedure is individually tailored to the nature of the problem to be corrected. Skin conditions such as: wrinkles, scars, keratoses, acne scars or pigmentation problems have been successfully treated with MicroLaserPeel™.

Who should consider a MicroLaserPeel™?

If your are looking for more than microdermabrasion or light chemical peels, and have a little time for a prolonged healing process, then MicroLaserPeel™ was designed for you.

How is the MicroLaserPeel™ different from Microdermabrasion?

Generally, microdermabrasion only removes the stratum corneum (10 microns). The MicroLaserPeel™ is a partial to full epidermal peel (20-50 microns) and is performed with a topical anesthetic. Because this procedure goes deeper into the epidermis, it is the perfect step between microdermabrasion and full skin resurfacing.

How many MicroLaserPeels™ need to be done?

Typically, the procedure is repeated 2-4 times, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, but many peels can be done to achieve the desired result.

What can I expect?

You will experience smoother, healthier more vibrant skin with a significant, immediate change in skin texture and tightness as compared to microdermabrasion.

How long is the healing process?

Healing takes 3-4 days. The procedure can be performed on Thursday or Friday and you can return to work the following Monday. Symptoms immediately following the procedure resemble a sunburn with a minor sloughing of the skin on the second day. Redness will begin to fade by the third day, and be easily covered by makeup on the fourth day.

What should I know about pre and post-treatment care?
