Nano & Micro Laser Peels: Gentle Skin Resurfacing Treatments

NanoLaser Peel and Micro Laser Peel are advanced erbium resurfacing lasers from Sciton designed to treat sun damage, aging signs (such as fine lines and wrinkles), and mild discoloration. These treatments work by removing the outermost layer of the skin, stimulating new skin cell growth and collagen production. The lasers can precisely target skin cells at specific depths, promoting the development of softer, smoother, and rejuvenated skin as it heals. Collagen and elastin production continues to increase for several months post-treatment.

At Nassif MedSpa we offer a variety of skin resurfacing options at our Manchester MediaCity location, tailoring each treatment to meet the patient’s unique concerns, desired outcomes, and preferred recovery time.

NanoLaser Peel is the lightest full-field resurfacing laser treatment available, offering results up to four times more effective than microdermabrasion. These “weekend” peels involve minimal downtime, deliver proven long-term benefits, and are safe for all skin types. They can also be easily combined with other procedures.

In this instance, “nano” refers to the depth of treatment, which is measured in nanometers. The nano laser peel uses a light wavelength of 2940nm to gently exfoliate and resurface the skin.

Micro Laser Peel offers light to medium resurfacing. While still suitable for “weekend” peels, recovery time may vary based on individual skin concerns and provider recommendations. This treatment is also safe for all skin types and can be combined with other aesthetic procedures.

“Micro” in this case refers to the depth of treatment, which is measured in microns. The micro laser peel uses a light wavelength of 2940nm to target deeper layers of skin for more dramatic results.

Benefits of NanoLaser Peel and Micro Laser Peel

Laser treatments generally provide more dramatic results compared to chemical peels or microneedling, thanks to their ability to remove the skin’s outer layer and stimulate deeper collagen growth. Over the next 4 to 6 months, this leads to firmer, tighter, and healthier skin.

NanoLaser Peel and Micro Laser Peel can help improve:

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Sun damage
• Brown spots and uneven skin tone
• Light acne scarring and large pores

Are You a Candidate for NanoLaser Peel or Micro Laser Peel?

These treatments are ideal for anyone seeking a light or maintenance resurfacing option to enhance skin texture, reduce wrinkles, address photo damage, and strengthen the skin’s elastin and collagen. Nano & Micro Peel is safe for all skin types and is easy to combine with other procedures

How is a Laser Peel Performed?

Your treatment will begin with a thorough cleansing of the targeted skin area, followed by the application of protective eye shields. The laser handpiece is held above your skin, with a computer-guided scanner directing the laser beam across the treatment zone.

Topical numbing cream is optional for most NanoLaser Peel procedures since the laser’s penetration depth is minimal. However, if a deeper treatment is recommended, numbing cream will be applied for added comfort.

How Long Does a Laser Peel Treatment Take?

Laser peel treatments are both quick and effective, typically lasting between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the area being treated.

What to Expect During Recovery

NanoLaser Peel and Micro Laser Peel treatments are often referred to as “weekend peels” due to their shorter recovery times compared to more aggressive options like Halo and Contour TRL. Following the treatment, the skin may appear red, patchy, and dry for a few days. Post-treatment care will be discussed to ensure proper healing.
