One of the primary advantages of Micro Laser Peel is that it causes little pain because it does not penetrate very deep into the skin. At its most shallow settings, most people can tolerate treatment with no anesthetic at all. At deeper settings, a topical numbing cream is typically used.

Immediately after the treatment you will notice that the skin has a “frosty” appearance. This is the dehydrated skin that will peel away within the next few days following the treatment. You may experience some redness, mild swelling, and a sensation resembling that of a sunburn.

Depending on the depth of treatment, most patients feel comfortable enough to return to work within 3 to 4 days – an attribute that has given rise to the nickname "the weekend peel."

The procedure normally takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Immediately following the procedure you may experience mild redness and a sensation resembling sunburn, followed by two to four days of redness and/or peeling, depending on the treatment depth.

The SkinTyte™ treatment is based on the principal of selective thermolysis and utilizes pulsed light technology to deeply heat your skin while cooling and protecting the entire treated surface. SkinTyte™ can be provided quickly and comfortably with no downtime.

The SkinTyte™ light energy is delivered in a sequence of rapid, gentle pulses. A series of pulses will be repeated over the treatment area to ensure best results. While the face and neck can typically be treated within 30 minutes, the actual time will depend on the area treated.

You may experience some mild redness in the treated area immediately after treatment and this should return to normal within minutes. Since the SkinTyte™ procedure is noninvasive there is no downtime, and you can resume regular activities immediately following treatment. You can also apply makeup and sunscreen after each session.

The number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient and Dr. Kienstra can personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Dr. Kienstra or your care provider may also combine SkinTyte™ with other popular aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.
