Peels

• During the treatment, as the provider glides the laser across the skin, you may feel a slight warming sensation, which means the laser is doing its job.

We’ll first clean your skin of any makeup and moisturizers. For male clients, you’ll need to shave in order for us to treat your lower face. Numbing cream will be applied to your canvas for the laser resurfacing treatment and MicroLaserPeel. For the NanoLaserPeel no numbing is required.
