Erbium peel that resurfaces damaged outer skin at precise depths for brighter, smoother tone.
MicroLaser Peel is an erbium resurfacing treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin at precise depths for smoother texture, brighter tone, and a more rejuvenated appearance. Depth can be customized from a light refresh to a deeper resurfacing depending on your concerns and downtime.
Topical numbing is applied for 30 to 45 minutes before treatment.
The Sciton Contour TRL erbium laser ablates the outer layers of skin at precisely controlled micron depths chosen for your goals.
2 to 5 days of redness and gentle peeling, followed by smoother and brighter skin. Continued collagen building for 3 months.
MicroLaser Peel is priced by area treated. Deeper resurfacing protocols (TRL, >100 microns) are available for advanced correction in the lip line, eye area, and full face.

MicroLaser Peel uses a 2940nm erbium laser to remove damaged outer skin at precise, customizable depths. Recovery is shorter than fully ablative resurfacing — typically 4 to 7 days — while delivering significant improvement in tone, texture, and fine lines.
Both remove the outer layers of skin. Chemical peels use a chemical solution applied to the skin; depth is somewhat variable. MicroLaser Peel uses a precise erbium laser to ablate skin at exact micron depths — producing more predictable, customizable results with usually less prolonged peeling.
TRL refers to depths greater than 100 microns. TRL protocols are advanced full-face resurfacing options used for substantial photoaging, deep folds, and lip or eye correction. Expect more downtime (5 to 10 days) and stronger results.
MicroLaser Peel can be performed on Fitzpatrick I to IV with appropriate settings. For darker skin types we typically recommend alternatives like Fractora or Spectra to minimize pigment risk.
Halo is a hybrid fractional laser combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in microscopic columns — ideal for tone, pigment, and pores in 1 to 2 sessions. MicroLaser Peel is a fully ablative erbium peel that removes the entire outer skin layer at chosen depths — ideal for sun damage, deeper wrinkles, and full-face refresh.
Depending on your skin and the chosen depth, 1 to 3 sessions are typically recommended.
Yes — the combination is one of our most powerful resurfacing protocols. ProFractional handles dermal correction while MicroLaser Peel resurfaces the epidermis. Combined pricing starts at $3,250 for full face.
Most patients can apply mineral makeup once peeling has fully resolved — typically 5 to 7 days post-treatment.
