NANO LASER PEEL
The NanoLaser Peel is a perfect introduction to laser procedures for any patient interested in the newest way to get smoother, younger, and brighter skin with very little downtime. Nano Peels use a gentler laser energy to directly remove the top and superficial layers of the skin, deep enough to promote and speed up cellular renewal returning the natural smoothness and glow of the skin. With the very short downtime, we call this our “Weekend Peel”!
How the Procedure Works
One of the primary advantages of NanoLaser Peel is that it causes little discomfort because it is superficial and does not penetrate very deeply into the skin. The patient will experience a feeling of warmth with a very light occasional prickling sensation. At its most shallow settings, most people can tolerate treatment with no anesthetic at all. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the procedure typically lasts around 20-30 minutes.
who is a good candidate
The NanoLaser Peel is great for treating conditions such as mild wrinkles, blemishes, uneven skin tone, Keratosis and pigmentation irregularities. NanoLaser Peels are safe to treat on most body parts. Popular treatment areas are face, neck and chest.
number of treatments
The number of treatments varies with the individual’s skin conditions and targeted concerns. The NanoLaser Peel is a superficial anti-aging treatment, it can be performed as early as every 2-4 weeks for optimal results. The recommended number of sessions are 3-6 sessions. This can also be used best as a skin maintenance program and can be used ongoing on a monthly basis.
What to expect immediately after treatment
Immediately after the treatment you will notice that the skin has a “frosty” appearance. This is the dehydrated skin that will peel away in the next few days following the treatment. You may experience some mild skin redness and swelling and a sensation resembling a slight sunburn that will last the next few hours to the next couple days.
When to expect results
Because only the outer layer of skin is being treated, most patients notice an obvious improvement in tone, texture, and color evenness once the skin heals in approximately 3-5 days! Texture improvement can be noticed 2-3 months after treatment.
