Frequently Asked Questions
How does NanoLaserPeel work?
The NanoLaserPeel beam is scanned over a treatment area to remove a very thin layer of the skin. Removing the top layer eliminates some of the damaged cells that can give skin a tired, aged look. Plus it activates messenger cells to trigger the body's natural healing process. As the skin heals, fresh cells grow and resurface the treated area. The result is healthier-looking skin, often with reduced wrinkles and improved color evenness. Patients often say that it looks like their skin went from looking tired to vibrant.
What conditions can be treated with NanoLaserPeel?
- Mild wrinkles
- Scars
- Keratosis
- Sun damage (e.g. freckles)
- Pigment irregularities
What areas of the body can be treated?
Most skin areas can be treated. Popular treatment areas are the face and neck, though some people also treat the chest and hands. You should discuss your needs with your physician.
What will happen during this procedure?
Your skin will be cleaned in the treatment area and your eyes will be protected with safety shields. The physician will position the laser handpiece above the skin and will hold it in place as the computer-guided scanner moves the laser beam around the treatment area. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the procedure usually lasts five to ten minutes.
Will it be uncomfortable?
One of the primary advantages of NanoLaserPeel is that is causes little pain because it does not penetrate very deeply into the skin. At its most shallow settings, most people can tolerate treatment with no anesthetic at all.
What should I expect immediately after the treatment?
Immediately after the treatment you will notice that the skin has a "frosty" appearance. This is the dehydrated skin that will peel away within a few days following the treatment. You may experience some skin redness and a sensation resembling sunburn, as well as mild swelling.
When should I expect to results?
Because only the outer layer of skin is treated, most patients notice an obvious improvement in tone, texture, and color evenness once the skin heals in approximately two to three days.
