Laser Skin Resurfacing

Dermablate® laser peel is a cutting-edge fractional skin rejuvenation treatment that utilizes the Erbium:YAG laser. This laser safely removes the outer layers of skin to reveal smoother and healthier skin underneath. The laser's wavelength of 2,940 nm targets water absorption in the skin, leading to rapid vaporization and tissue ablation. This process results in a beautiful skin resurfacing without the need for surgery. Dermablate® is safe for delicate areas like the face, neck, chest, and hands, and offers shorter healing time and minimal side effects compared to other lasers.

If you have skin damage, rough texture, pigmentation issues, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, or acne scars, the Laser Peel treatment may offer a solution. This procedure utilizes laser energy to effectively remove the outer layers of skin, revealing a smoother and healthier complexion. To determine if the Laser Peel is right for you, we offer a complimentary consultation where our experienced team at Dermaluxe Spa will assess your specific skin concerns. During this consultation, we will provide detailed information about the treatment and help you decide if it aligns with your individual needs and goals. We are here to address any questions you may have, ensuring you make an informed decision on your skincare journey.

Significant results can often be observed after just one Laser Peel treatment. However, the number of treatments needed may vary based on your desired outcome. Typically, multiple treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart are recommended to achieve optimal results. It's important to note that individual responses may vary.

Additionally, we offer the flexibility to include add-on treatments for the hands, neck, or décolleté (chest area). This allows you to address specific concerns in these areas and further enhance your overall results. Our team at Dermaluxe Spa can provide personalized recommendations during your consultation, tailoring the treatment plan to your unique needs and goals.

The healing time after a Laser Peel treatment is typically quick and varies from person to person. In the first 24 to 48 hours, you may experience a mild heat sensation similar to a sunburn, as well as some skin flaking. Between three and seven days post-treatment, the skin will begin to reveal a smooth appearance with a pinkish color. During this time, you can easily cover any pinkness with light makeup without interrupting your daily activities or social life.

Over the next 30 days, you will continue to witness improvements in skin tone, texture, and smoothness. Fine lines, wrinkles, and pores will become less noticeable, while sun spots and uneven pigmentation will fade.

Aftercare instructions will be provided following your treatment, including recommendations for caring for the treated area and utilizing specific products to promote healing and optimize your results. It is crucial to diligently follow these instructions to ensure the best possible outcome for your skin.

While the laser peel resurfacing treatment may cause some mild discomfort, it is generally well tolerated by most individuals. Sensitive areas may be slightly more uncomfortable, but our experienced professionals take great care to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. If desired, a topical anesthetic can be applied to the treatment area to minimize any potential discomfort. Our priority is to provide a comfortable and pleasant experience for all our clients.

To prepare for your Laser Peel treatment appointment, please ensure that your skin is clean and free of any makeup. It is essential to avoid using topical treatments such as Retin-A, glycolic acid, and vitamin C for at least two weeks prior to your scheduled treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to refrain from taking medications or supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E that may increase the risk of bruising or bleeding.

To achieve optimal results and minimize potential complications, it is crucial to avoid significant sun exposure or sunburns. Additionally, refrain from using self-tanning products and undergoing other facial treatments such as chemical peels, IPL, microdermabrasion, or other resurfacing treatments for at least four weeks prior to your Laser Peel appointment.

By following these guidelines, you will help ensure the best possible outcome and minimize any potential risks associated with the treatment.
