The MicroLaserPeel provides a light resurfacing treatment (up to 50um of ablation) that is limited to the epidermis and aims to even out skin tone, texture and colour with minimal downtime.
The MicroLaserPeel uses a Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL), which has dual mode ER:YAG technology, meaning cold ablation can be performed while also effectively emulating other common resurfacing modalities like Er:YSGG and CO2.
This offers a sophisticated substitute for a chemical peel or microdermabrasion to address dull skin or photo-damage.
MicroLaserPeel treatments address skin texture concerns and dullness, pigmentation, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, sunspots, and acne scarring.

MicroLaserPeel treatments address skin texture concerns and dullness, pigmentation, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, sunspots, and acne scarring.
Some possible risks from MicroLaserPeel treatments include:
- Infection. It is important to let your treating practitioner know if you have a history of cold sores or the herpes virus as this treatment can trigger a flare up of the infection. We can pre-treat you with an antiviral medication to decrease the risk of this occurrence.
- Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin).
- Redness and swelling for the first few days after treatment.
MicroLaserPeel treatments are suitable for use on all skin types. MicroLaserPeels should not be used if you have an infectious or connective tissue disease, are, pregnant or breastfeeding, are taking medication known to increase sensitivity to light, or have a medical condition that may affect wound healing. MicroLaserPeels are also not suitable for you if you have used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6-12 months; or have a history of keloid formation.
Avoid alcohol in the week prior to your treatment because it can increase the risk of bruising and swelling. Avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications 2 weeks prior. Hair in the treatment area should be shaved prior to the treatment.
The area to be treated will be cleaned to remove any dirt, makeup or moisture. Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated. Some mild pain and discomfort are to be expected, although this varies depending on individual factors, such as pain tolerance level. Topical numbing can be discussed with your treating practitioner. Eye protection will be provided for you to wear during your treatment. Most people describe the feeling similar to that of a sunburn during and shortly after treatment. Treatments are ideally performed 4-6 weeks apart, with 2-3 treatments required to address your concerns.
Slight redness and a minimal sunburn sensation may last for several hours after treatment. Cool compresses or ice packs can provide some comfort after treatment. Apply sunblock to the treated areas for at least 2 weeks following treatment to avoid excessive sunburn reaction or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation; and keep the treated area hydrated with a gentle moisturiser. Do not use facial products with retinoids or other potentially irritating ingredients for 1 week following your treatment. Aspirin and alcohol should be avoided for 12-48 hours after your treatment.
