MicroLaserPeel
MicroLaserPeel in Chicago, IL
When skin concerns call for more than a quick refresh, MicroLaserPeel delivers the deeper correction many patients are looking for. At Therahaus Wellness Medspa in South Loop, Chicago, this resurfacing treatment is reserved for patients who are ready to invest a few days of recovery in exchange for a meaningfully more significant improvement in their skin's texture, tone, and overall clarity.
MicroLaserPeel uses the same erbium laser technology as NanoLaserPeel, but calibrated to treat more deeply into the skin's surface. This greater depth allows the treatment to more effectively address concerns such as sun damage, superficial scarring, enlarged pores, and more noticeable texture irregularities that a lighter peel cannot fully correct. As the treated skin heals over several days, it sheds to reveal a visibly smoother, more even, and more radiant complexion beneath, with collagen remodeling continuing to refine results in the weeks that follow.

How MicroLaserPeel Works
MicroLaserPeel uses an erbium laser set to a deeper, more corrective treatment depth than NanoLaserPeel. Because erbium wavelengths are highly absorbed by water in skin cells, the laser precisely removes a more substantial outer layer of damaged or uneven skin while minimizing thermal spread to the surrounding tissue. As this deeper layer sheds during the following days, fresh, healthier skin replaces it, and the stimulation to the deeper dermis supports ongoing collagen remodeling that continues to improve skin quality for weeks after the visible healing is complete.
Your provider assesses your skin concerns and confirms that MicroLaserPeel's deeper resurfacing depth is appropriate for your goals and your availability for a multi-day recovery period.
The skin is cleansed and prepared. Topical numbing is typically applied given the deeper treatment depth, and protective eyewear is provided throughout the session.
The erbium laser is passed across the treatment area at a deeper, more corrective setting. You may feel warmth, stinging, or a sunburn-like sensation during treatment. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the area treated.
Redness, swelling, and visible peeling are expected for several days following treatment. The skin should be allowed to shed naturally as it heals, revealing smoother, more even skin underneath.
Who Benefits Most from MicroLaserPeel
MicroLaserPeel is well-suited to patients with more noticeable texture, tone, or scarring concerns who are looking for a significant improvement and are able to plan for several days of visible healing. It delivers more corrective results than a lighter peel while still being far less involved than fully ablative resurfacing.
Ideal for patients who:
- Have more noticeable sun damage, texture irregularities, or superficial acne scarring they want to address
- Want a more significant improvement in skin clarity than a lighter peel can provide
- Are able to plan for several days of visible redness and peeling during recovery
- Have tried lighter resurfacing treatments without achieving the level of correction they are looking for
- Want a treatment that delivers both immediate surface improvement and ongoing collagen benefits over time

MicroLaserPeel Aftercare: What to Know
Recovery from MicroLaserPeel is more involved than a lighter peel, with redness, swelling, and visible peeling expected for several days following treatment. It is important to allow the skin to shed naturally during this time rather than rushing the process, as this directly affects your final results.
Any Questions?
MicroLaserPeel is a laser skin resurfacing treatment that gently removes a controlled layer of damaged skin to improve texture, tone, and overall skin appearance. It helps reveal fresher, smoother-looking skin while stimulating natural skin renewal.
MicroLaserPeel uses precise laser energy to remove the outermost layers of the skin, addressing surface imperfections and encouraging the growth of healthier skin cells. The depth of the treatment can be customized based on your skin goals and concerns.
Most patients experience mild warmth or a tingling sensation during treatment. Afterward, the skin may appear red and feel similar to a mild sunburn, with light peeling as the skin heals. Downtime varies depending on the treatment depth.
MicroLaserPeel can improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, rough texture, enlarged pores, dullness, and mild sun damage, helping create a smoother and more refreshed complexion.
