Dr. Hakim: Cosmetic Expert
Dr. Hakim is a double board-certified dermatologist and a nationally recognized expert in laser therapies. As a certified trainer for Sciton, the manufacturer of the Microlaser Peel, she educates other physicians on the safe and effective use of this technology. Her experience ensures that each treatment is customized to your unique skin needs, delivering optimal results with the highest safety standards.
Less Downtime
The MicroLaser Peel offers significantly less downtime compared to CO2 lasers with similar results. The device sends intense laser energy to simulate collagen production and remove the superficial layer of skin to reveal a rejuvenated skin complexion.
With the MicroLaser Peel, visible results can be achieved in just 1 to 3 sessions. Everyone’s skin is different, and the treatment can be customized to address your unique skin concern.
What to Expect
Overall, the treatment takes about 30-60 minutes where skin is cleansed and topical numbing is applied to ensure patient comfort. There is a downtime of 1-7 days with healing up to 2 weeks. Following treatment, patients report healthier and even skin tone. Patients can expect mild redness and swelling, similar to the feeling of a sunburn, post treatment. It is recommended to always stay sun protected pre and post treatment to prevent any sun damage.
1. Technological Basis:
- Erbium Laser: The MicroLaser Peel uses a wavelength of 2490 nm with precise ablation for the controlled removal of micron thick layers of the epidermis. The skin contains a high percentage of water, making the device efficient in removing tissue with minimal thermal damage.
- Controlled Ablation: The Sciton system delivers a controlled amount of heat to stimulate collagen remodeling for faster healing and less downtime. The depth precision on the MicroLaser allows Dr. Hakim to tailor treatment depth to your skin concerns.
2. Treatment Process:
- Skin Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing is applied. Patients wear protective eyewear during the procedure.
- Application: Laser energy is delivered to the skin in rapid pulses. This may cause a mild sensation of warmth. A gentle cleanser and moisturizer will be recommended until the skin has naturally exfoliated.
- Duration and Sessions: Each session typically lasts about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Multiple sessions (usually 1-3) are often required, but improvements can be seen after 1.
3. Clinical Efficacy:
- Epidermal Ablation: This process removes damaged or aged skin cells to improve overall texture, pigmentation, and skin tone.
- Collagen and Elastin Stimulation: This heating also stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, key components for skin firmness and elasticity.
- Rapid Re-Epithelialization: The precise, superficial ablation of the skin heals quickly, earning the name “the weekend peel.”
Role of Dermatologists in MicroLaser Treatment:
1. Expert Evaluation
- Skin Analysis: Dermatologists can conduct a thorough skin analysis to identify the specific conditions that can be effectively treated with the MicroLaser.
- Customization: Based on the analysis, they can customize the treatment parameters (like wavelength, energy level) to target specific issues without damaging surrounding tissues.
2. Safety and Precision:
- Safety Protocols: Dermatologists are trained to follow strict safety protocols to minimize risks such as burns, pigmentation changes, or scarring.
- Handling Skin Reactions: They are also adept at managing any immediate skin reactions post-treatment, ensuring patient comfort and safety.
3. Integrated Approach:
- Holistic Treatment Plan: Dermatologists often integrate the MicroLaser treatment into a broader dermatologic care plan, which may include other treatments or skincare regimens for enhanced results.
- Long-term Skin Health: They focus not just on immediate cosmetic improvements but also on long-term skin health and maintenance.
4. Advanced Training and Knowledge:
- Up-to-Date Techniques: Dermatologists are continually updated with the latest advancements in laser technology, ensuring that they are providing the most effective and modern treatment options.
- Understanding of Skin Science: Their deep understanding of skin biology and photomedicine is crucial for maximizing the benefits of the MicroLaser treatment while minimizing potential risks.
MicroLaser treatment represents a sophisticated intersection of technology and dermatology, requiring a blend of technical skill, scientific knowledge, and clinical experience. Dermatologists, with their extensive training and focus on skin health, are ideally suited to offer this advanced cosmetic treatment, tailoring it to individual needs while prioritizing safety and efficacy.
