MicroLaserPeel

Deeper Correction. Lasting Results.

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.

The Treatment Process

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.

Step 1: Consultation

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.

Step 2: Preparation

The skin is cleansed and prepared. Topical numbing is typically applied given the deeper treatment depth, and protective eyewear is provided throughout the session.

Step 3: Laser Treatment

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.

Step : Multi-Day Recovery

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.

Is This Treatment Right for You?

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

Supporting Your Results

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.

Do's
Follow your provider's specific post-treatment skincare protocol closely, including any recommended ointments or barrier-repair products.
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily once your provider confirms your skin has healed enough to do so.
Keep the skin gently moisturized throughout the healing process to support comfort and proper shedding.
Plan your treatment around your schedule, allowing several days at home before any major events or commitments.
Don'ts
Do not pick, peel, or forcibly remove any flaking or shedding skin, as this increases the risk of scarring or uneven pigmentation.
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds throughout the healing period and beyond.
Avoid active skincare products including retinoids and exfoliating acids until your provider confirms your skin has fully healed.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms until your skin has progressed through the initial healing phase.
FAQ

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.

Dina Andriopolous

What I loved most about Therahaus was that it had such a “family” atmosphere and it was very warm environment. I thought the services were very fairly priced (I received the Hydrafacial), and the location was more than convenient. It’s right off Lake Shore Drive and walkable to Ricobene’s! (IYKYK). Taking the wife next time so she can experience what I did. Will be back no doubt.

Ryne Haberkorn

I was nervous going into my first laser treatment, and the staff immediately made me feel comfortable. They were warm, patient, and explained everything so thoroughly. Definitely a one stop shop as they have all the newest treatments etc. Huge shoutout to Angie! She’s truly the best and made the entire experience so easy. They even offered snacks and a drink… honestly the relaxing day I didn’t know I needed. I’ll 100% be returning.

Kylie Apple

Had an amazing experience with the Therahus team! It was the first time I had IV therapy and can't reccomend it enough. Just what I needed post Bears 2026 season heartbreak :( Also, tried the hydrafacial - did not realize how much I needed it with the winter season. CAN NOT speak highly enoughabout the team. Everyone took great care of me - making me feel comfortable despite it being my first med spa experience. In addition, they were all so knowledgable about all the treatments and this is coming from a med student who just finished his skin block ;) will definitely be visiting in the near future to keep my skin glowing during this winter season!

Joseph Chavez

I had the best and most tailored experience EVER at Therahaus. I got the hydrafacial, IV drip, and lymphatic drainage massage, and it was the most perfect experience ever. Dr. Beltsos made me feel so comfortable and empowered, and I left glowing. I ended up getting the facial membership because it's such a bang for your buck, and I'm so excited to maintain this GLOW. Thank you Dr. Beltsos and team!!! I'm recommending to everyone!!!

I don't have a single negative thing to say about Therahaus. I mean just wow! I haven’t been to this med spa before, so I was a little nervous about what to expect, but Dr. Beltsos and the entire staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and immediately put me at ease. They took the time to explain the procedures, the tools and machines they will use and how they work to the care routine afterwards, which made me feel very comfortable. The results were amazing. The location was also very convenient and easy to get to and lots of parking nearby, and the services were very reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend them.

I had an excellent experience at Therahaus Med Spa. The space is modern, calm, and thoughtfully designed, but more importantly, the care is genuinely clinical and professional, not sales-driven. The staff took the time to explain options clearly, answered questions directly, and never pushed unnecessary treatments. What stood out most was the balance between medical rigor and comfort. You feel like you are in capable hands, with practitioners who know what they are doing and take pride in doing it well. Everything from scheduling to follow-up was smooth and well organized.

Overall, I highly recommend Therahaus Wellness Spa if you’re looking for excellent service in a clean, peaceful setting. I’m very happy with my Botox results and will definitely be returning!

Demetrius Beasley

I’m genuinely blown away by this place. The fact that it’s owned and actively run by an MD already sets it apart from so many med spas where the physician isn’t closely involved. Dr. Beltsos was incredibly thorough, walking me through every step before and during my BBL and Halo treatments. I felt completely supported the whole way. And Justin, the manager, wasn’t just in the background, he was knowledgeable, engaged, and truly invested in my experience. Top-tier care from start to finish.
