Sciton Microlaser PeelŠ
Back

     The Sciton Microlaser PeelŠ has been successful in treating such skin conditions as wrinkles, scars, acne scars, and pigmentary problems. The process is individually tailored to the patient's condition. The procedure is geared toward people who expect better results than microdermabrasion or light chemical peels but have little time for a prolonged healing process. The Sciton Microlaser PeelŠ leaves skin looking fresh, stress free, and "polished."

Process: A topical gel anesthesia is applied in the office to anesthetize the skin that will be treated. Dr. Freedman then uses the Erbium laser's high energy to remove the superficial layer of skin.

Recovery: Patient recovery from the Sciton Microlaser Peel is rapid. Once the procedure is complete, patients can drive themselves home. Symptoms immediately following the procedure resemble a sunburn, with mild peeling on the second day and redness fading after the first couple of days. Patients are usually able to return to work within several days with make-up. Discomfort can easily be managed with a pain reliever.

Results: Men and women experience smoother, "glowing" skin following a Microlaser Peel. The skin has improved texture, decreased pore size and a reduction of some fine lines. The procedure can be used in conjunction with certain skin care programs to maintain healthy, vibrant skin.
