A Laser Peel, which is also sometimes called a “laser resurfacing” or “laser-abrasion” procedure is used to treat acne scars, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. A Laser Peel improves the skin by creating a fresh, smooth complexion.
A Laser Peel is a procedure that uses lasers to create a new, smooth skin appearance. The laser “ablates”, or destroys, the outer layers of skin which have been damaged by age, sun, acne, wrinkles, or pigmentation problems or spots. The destruction of the older layers of skin prompts the body to generate a new layer of skin cells which are unaffected by the previous skin condition.
Because the laser is very precise, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Summers can focus very specifically on only the problem areas in selected patients.

A Laser Peel is similar to photo rejuvenation but involves a much more intense laser light. Because a Laser Peel is more aggressive, it requires a longer recovery period (usually several days) compared to “no downtime” procedures such as photo rejuvenation. Because of the intensity of the treatment, a Laser Peel is not appropriate for darker skin types. Dr. Summers will assist you in determining which procedure will best produce your desired results.
