Facial skin is particularly susceptible to damage as it more exposed to the elements than other areas of the body, this and normal aging can cause the complexion to lose elasticity and sometimes develop hyperpigmented marks and fine creases. Today, one of the most effective and less invasive ways to eliminate these imperfections is the micro laser peel. This procedures offers Cincinnati, OH clients fast, dramatic results.

A special type of laser is directed at the skin, which causes the topmost layer of cells to vaporize. The higher the intensity of the laser's beam, the deeper into the skin it will penetrate. When this process occurs, the skin naturally repairs itself by producing collagen and a fresh layer of cells which makes the skin appear refreshed, tighter, and luminescent.

This cosmetic treatment can easily be tailored to each patient's individual needs as it is generally available in intensity levels ranging from 10 to 30 microns. There are also lighter treatments than this which provide more subtle results but these will need to be done more often in order to maintain the desired outcome. A treatment session typically lasts about a half-hour, and most patients will need several days to heal afterwards.

Patients don't have to do anything in particular to prepare for this type of procedure. However it is advisable to schedule it for a time when one will have several days for recovery immediately following it because it does produce a noticeable redness, which is why most patients tend to stay in afterwards until this fades. Closely adhering to the physician's post-care instructions is essential to complete healing.

Before the treatment is administered, the skin will be cleansed and a topical anesthetic will be applied. Safety shields are placed over the patient's eyes, and a fan will blow cool, soothing air onto the area being treated. A scanner guides the laser beam in a predetermined pattern over the patient's skin. The procedure will last about 15 to 30 minutes and most people will experience minimal or no pain at all.

Patients can expect to notice a marked improvement in their skin in about 3 or 4 days after the peel. Additional sessions may be required for those who have chosen a lighter intensity, but most patients who go for the deeper treatment find that the one session is sufficient. It can also be done in conjunction with other types of procedures like photofacials for maximum results.

The deepest level of treatment is usually suggested for any patient who is troubled with scars from acne, or more pronounced signs of aging such as deep lines, loss of cheek volume, or an undefined jawline. This procedure requires that patients avoid sun exposure and the use of aspirin, and they will need more time to recover, usually a week.

Deep peels are an effective stand-alone treatment or they can also be used to further enhance the outcome of a facelift procedure. Patients who opt for this deep procedure can enjoy the long-lasting benefits it produces in that it continues to stimulate collagen synthesis in the skin for several months, which maintains the complexion's radiant, youthful appearance.
