Selecting the Correct Doctor for Microlaser Peel

This is a very important question and here is the answer from one of the experts:

When selecting a doctor for any cosmetic procedure, it's important to choose a board-certified dermatologist, dermatologic surgeon or plastic surgeon with proper training and experience in that procedure.

Regarding microlaser peel in particular, the epidermis on the face is approximately 100 microns deep, so a microlaserpeel of 20 to 30 microns is strictly epidermal. Being epidermal it can achieve a superficial smoothing of the surface irregularities, and a decrease in fine wrinkling and pigmentation. Several treatments have an additive effect, so a good number of treatments is 3-4 spaced 6-8 weeks apart.

We always give prophylactic medication for herpes for three days before, on the day of the procedure, and for three days after any laser resurfacing procedure. In addition, for patients with olive skin, I have them use a fading cream for two weeks prior to the procedure, and an excellent sun protection/sun avoidance regimen before and after the procedure to minimize post procedure hyperpimentation.
