Go far beyond the surface to refresh your skin on the cellular level with MicroLaserPeel treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena. At LRMD, we use this powerful system to create real change in your skin, producing deep skin resurfacing that other devices can’t match.

When Surface Treatments Aren’t Enough

Sun damage and rough texture sometimes settle deeper in the skin than a light resurfacing treatment can reach. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer MicroLaserPeel treatments to patients seeking more noticeable improvement than surface-level options can provide, but aren’t ready to commit to a fully ablative laser.

What Is MicroLaserPeel?

MicroLaserPeel removes a more substantial layer of damaged outer skin than lighter resurfacing options, reaching deeper to address fine lines, sun damage, and rough texture in a single session. This deeper removal allows fresh, renewed skin to surface more visibly than a lighter treatment allows. Patients considering MicroLaserPeel are aiming for a specific set of outcomes, including the following:

Visible improvement in fine lines and sun damage
Smoother, more refined texture after just one session
A meaningful step up from surface-level peels
Results that develop within a short, defined recovery window

Why Choose Leif Rogers, MD?

With MicroLaserPeel's deeper removal depth, precise depth control is essential to both safety and results. Our aesthetic team has performed this treatment extensively as part of the full Sciton Joule X suite, and every member is highly trained to ensure proper depth calibration for each patient's skin thickness and tolerance. Here, every treatment is performed under direct supervision from our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers, a board-certified, Ivy League-trained plastic surgeon. He’s dedicated to going above and beyond his patients’ expectations, and our entire team follows his lead. If the MicroLaserPeel isn’t completely right for your skin, we’ll recommend a more appropriate treatment to protect your skin health.

What to Expect From Your MicroLaserPeel Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Going Deeper Than Surface Peels

MicroLaserPeel removes a thicker layer of outer skin than treatments like NanoLaserPeel, reaching further into damaged tissue to address more established concerns. This depth is precisely what allows for the visible, powerful results that define this treatment.

Addressing Your Exact Concerns

MicroLaserPeel is typically requested by patients whose concerns have not responded adequately to lighter, more surface-level treatments. Most often, our Beverly Hills and Pasadena patients wish to treat the following areas:

Fine lines
Moderate sun damage
Noticeably rough or uneven texture
Enlarged pores
Early textural scarring

During your initial consultation, your aesthetician will confirm whether your specific concern will benefit from this treatment's deeper reach. If not, they’ll provide targeted recommendations for a more effective procedure.

A Calm, Unhurried Experience

To start your session, your aesthetician will apply a topical numbing agent to your skin well before treatment begins, allowing adequate time for it to take effect and reach deeper layers of tissue. Next, they’ll glide the MicroLaserPeel device across your treatment area in controlled passes for even, consistent results. Sessions typically last 20-40 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Planning Your Treatment Approach

Most patients complete a single MicroLaserPeel session per area of concern, since its deeper reach is designed to achieve visible results without requiring a repeated series. Some patients choose to repeat treatment annually as part of ongoing skin maintenance.

Patient-Centered Recovery

MicroLaserPeel's deeper depth means your recovery will be more involved than a surface-level peel, though still brief compared to fully ablative lasers. Typically, patients notice redness and visible peeling for approximately three to five days following treatment, with fresh, renewed skin emerging as the peeling process completes.

Avoid picking or scratching at your skin during peeling to prevent unnecessary damage. Most patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena will plan for a few days of reduced social activity, typically returning to their normal routines within a week. We recommend limiting strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for several days to allow your skin to heal safely.

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your MicroLaserPeel session, we’ll provide you with targeted aftercare guidance suited to this treatment's more involved recovery. This plan may include the following:

Gentle cleansing routines for active peeling
Sun protection and exposure requirements
Ingredients and products to avoid until peeling resolves
Moisturizing recommendations
Side effects to monitor
Guidance on safely resuming makeup use

Over the coming weeks, you’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice for a quick follow-up visit with our team. There, your aesthetician will evaluate your results, assess your healing progress, and discuss whether continued treatment would benefit your goals.

Renewed, Healthier Skin

Because MicroLaserPeel removes a thicker layer of damaged skin than other lasers, your results may appear slightly faster and with greater clarity. Most patients notice smoother, more even skin within one to two weeks as peeling resolves and fresh tissue settles.

MicroLaserPeel Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need MicroLaserPeel instead of NanoLaserPeel?

If lighter resurfacing treatments have not provided the improvement you want, or your sun damage, uneven texture, or fine lines are more pronounced, your aesthetician may recommend MicroLaserPeel as a more effective option. During your consultation, they will evaluate your skin and recommend the treatment best suited to your goals.

Will MicroLaserPeel completely remove my sun damage?

MicroLaserPeel can significantly improve the appearance of sun damage, but the degree of improvement depends on the severity and depth of the damage. During your consultation, your aesthetician will discuss what results you can realistically expect based on your skin's condition.

Is MicroLaserPeel safe for darker skin tones?

MicroLaserPeel may carry a higher risk of pigmentation changes in deeper skin tones than non-ablative laser treatments. Your aesthetician will carefully evaluate your skin type and determine whether MicroLaserPeel or another treatment is the safest and most appropriate option.

Can I wear sunscreen during my MicroLaserPeel recovery?

Yes. Wearing sunscreen is an essential part of the healing process after MicroLaserPeel. Protecting your skin from sun exposure helps support proper healing, preserve your results, and reduce the risk of pigmentation changes. Your aesthetician will provide detailed aftercare instructions and product recommendations.

How long will my MicroLaserPeel results last?

With proper skincare and consistent sun protection, the results of a single MicroLaserPeel treatment can last a year or longer. However, ongoing sun exposure and the natural aging process will gradually affect your skin, and maintenance treatments may be recommended over time.
