MicroLaser Peel
Facial peels are one of the best ways to address a range of skin conditions at once. While many of them use chemicals like TCA to separate older skin layers and peel them off, there is another option that’s just as effective and requires little downtime. At Berman Skin Institute, we are proud to offer the MicroLaser Peel, designed to combat moderate signs of aging.
What Is a MicroLaser Peel?
During a MicroLaser Peel treatment, your provider will apply a laser device to targeted areas. As the laser works deep into your skin, it loosens the bonds between the topmost layers of your skin and reveals the smoother, newer layers underneath. The laser energy also stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to rapid cell turnover and new skin growth.
What Can MicroLaser Peels Treat?
The MicroLaser Peel is highly versatile, allowing it to combat multiple concerns all at once. It’s suitable for almost any skin type, and we often recommend it to people dealing with:
- Acne and acne scars: The MicroLaser Peel targets acne and acne scars at their root, greatly diminishing their appearance.
- Brown liver and age spots: If dark spots on your skin affect your self-confidence, the MicroLaser Peel can help by evening out the hyperpigmentation.
- Wrinkles: Whether you’ve developed fine lines, crow’s feet, frown lines or just general wrinkles, the MicroLaser Peel minimizes their appearance and encourages new collagen growth to fill them in.
- Lax skin: As the upper layers of your skin slough off, the newer, more elastic skin will tighten up your features and reduce sagging.

What to Expect Before and After MicroLaser Peels
Prior to your appointment, you may be advised to avoid tanning and other skin procedures for a few weeks. At your initial consultation, your provider will give you specific instructions based on your medical history and regimen. On the day of your appointment, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to mitigate any discomfort. The treatment usually takes about an hour to complete.
Following your peel, it usually takes about two days for most of the skin peeling to occur and for your skin to slough off. You may feel and look like you have a sunburn, but you should be able to cover up most of the redness with makeup after four days. This peel is also known as the “weekend peel” because it’s the perfect amount of time for your skin to recover before returning to work.

One of the biggest advantages of MicroLaser Peels is minimal downtime. Most skin peeling occurs over two to three days as your skin naturally sheds the treated layers.
You may experience some redness and feel as though you have a sunburn, which is completely normal. After four days, you should be able to cover most redness with makeup and return to your regular routine.
MicroLaser Peels are often called the ‘weekend peel’ because the recovery timeline is ideal for taking the treatment on Friday and looking refreshed by Monday morning.
You’ll notice immediate improvements as the redness subsides over the first few days. As new skin continues to grow and collagen production increases over the following weeks, results continue to improve. Full results are typically visible within two to four weeks as your skin fully regenerates and settles.

Many patients choose periodic treatments to maintain their results and continue improving their skin over time. Your provider can recommend the best treatment schedule for your specific needs.
MicroLaser Peels are suitable for almost any skin type. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin condition, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine if a MicroLaser Peel is right for you and discuss any customizations needed for your unique skin.
While chemical peels use strong chemical solutions (like TCA) to separate and peel away damaged skin layers, MicroLaser Peels achieve similar results using precise laser energy with minimal downtime. Both are effective treatments for aging skin, but MicroLaser Peels often offer a more comfortable experience and faster recovery, making them ideal for those who can’t afford extended healing periods.
Your provider will give you detailed post-treatment care instructions. Generally, this includes:
- Keeping the treated area clean
- Using sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily
- Avoiding harsh skincare products temporarily
- Allowing your skin to naturally peel—don’t pick at it
