Laser Resurfacing
Description
NanoLaserPeel is a light erbium laser peel that brightens dull, dry skin with minimal downtime. MicroLaserPeel is an erbium laser peel that targets fine lines, sun damage and uneven pigmentation, with a few days of downtime. Treatment settings for both are customized to your concerns, and both support healthy skin renewal for a smoother, clearer-looking complexion. Results vary.
A consultation is required before these treatments, or a Pre-Treatment Consultation & Skin Preparation Appointment if you are an existing patient. Please book it 2 to 3 weeks before your treatment.

What It Treats
NanoLaserPeel is a comfortable laser treatment that polishes dull, dry skin and improves texture, with minimal downtime.
MicroLaserPeel is an erbium laser peel that improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and uneven pigmentation.
How It Works
- 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.
Pre Treatment
We’ll first clean your skin of any makeup and moisturizers. For male patients, you’ll need to shave in order for us to treat your lower face. Numbing cream will be applied to your canvas for the MicroLaserPeel. For the NanoLaserPeel no numbing is required.
Post Treatment
DO
- Use a gentle cleanser with light pressure to cleanse the skin.
- Keep using a hydrating cream, as your skin may feel tight and dry.
- Makeup can be worn 24 hours after a NanoLaserPeel.
- Wear sunscreen.
AVOID
- Strenuous exercise and sweating for at least 24 hours; gently pat sweat off treated skin.
- Saunas, swimming, hot tubs and hot yoga for 24 hours.
- Prolonged sun exposure for 4 weeks after treatment.
- Scratching or picking, as this can lead to scarring or pigment changes.
EXPECT
- Redness is normal and can last up to 7 days. Use gentle cleansers and keep your skin hydrated and out of the sun.
- Contact the clinic with any concerns, such as blistering or excessive redness or swelling.
