Precision laser skin resurfacing with Sciton MicroLaserPeel®
The Science Behind Beautiful Skin
How Does MicroLaserPeel® Work?
Advanced erbium laser technology meets precision skin rejuvenation.
MicroLaserPeel® by Sciton uses advanced Er:YAG (erbium) laser technology to precisely remove a controlled layer of damaged skin from the surface.
The laser energy is absorbed by water within the skin, allowing your provider to carefully resurface the treatment area. As the skin naturally heals, fresher, smoother and more radiant skin is revealed.
Unlike traditional chemical peels, MicroLaserPeel uses laser energy to control the depth of resurfacing. Your treatment can be customized according to your skin concerns, desired improvements and recovery preferences.
Precision Resurfacing
Controlled laser energy removes damaged outer layers of skin with a customizable treatment depth.
Natural Skin Renewal
Your body's natural healing process begins, replacing treated surface layers with newly renewed skin.
Smoother, Brighter Skin
As healing progresses, improvements in skin tone, texture, fine lines and overall radiance become visible.

We'll evaluate your skin concerns, treatment goals and medical history to determine whether MicroLaserPeel is right for you. Your provider will recommend an appropriate treatment depth and discuss expected recovery.

Your skin is carefully cleansed and prepared for laser resurfacing. A topical numbing cream may be applied to help improve comfort, and protective eyewear is used during treatment.

MicroLaserPeel® Downtime & Recovery: What You Need to Know
Wondering how long it takes to recover from laser skin resurfacing? MicroLaserPeel treatment depth can be customized, which means recovery time varies from person to person. Here's what you can generally expect.
Your Skin's Recovery
Immediately After Treatment
Your skin may look red and feel warm or sensitive, similar to a sunburn. Mild swelling can also occur.
During the First Several Days
Redness, tenderness, dryness and peeling may develop as damaged skin layers naturally shed. Follow your provider's aftercare instructions carefully.
As Your Skin Heals
Fresher, smoother skin becomes visible. Sciton reports typical downtime of 1–7 days and total healing of approximately 4–14 days, depending on treatment depth.
Continued Improvement
Improvements in skin tone, texture and overall appearance may continue developing over the following weeks and months. Individual results vary.
MicroLaserPeel Aftercare Tips
Keep Skin Gently Cleansed
Use the gentle cleanser recommended by your provider. Avoid scrubbing or using irritating products during healing.
Maintain Proper Moisture
Apply the recommended moisturizer or protective product as directed to support skin comfort and healing.
Avoid Direct Sun Exposure
Protect treated skin from the sun. Follow your provider's instructions regarding when and how to use sunscreen during recovery.
Let Your Skin Heal Naturally
Avoid picking or peeling treated skin. Allow your skin to exfoliate naturally and follow all instructions from your treatment provider.
NW Medical Arts Tip:
Planning around a special event?
Schedule a consultation well in
advance so your provider can
recommend a treatment and healing
timeline suited to your needs.
Recovery, treatment suitability and results vary based on skin characteristics, treatment depth and individual healing. Always follow your provider's specific post-treatment instructions.
