MicroLaser Peel
Anti-aging Laser Treatments and Laser resurfacing to restore radiance and treat aging skin near Milwaukee, WI
Reverse the Signs of Aging, Acne Scarring, & Sun Damage
A MicroLaserPeel®, commonly known as the lunchtime peel, Artic Laser Peel, or Artic Peel, is a carefully controlled resurfacing peel. This ablative treatment removes 100% of the outermost layer of skin to reveal the fresh, healthy skin hiding beneath. Simultaneously, it stimulates the skin underneath, resulting in the formation of new collagen.
As your skin heals, newer, tighter skin begins to form, enhancing your appearance and skin health. Our laser resurfacing anti-aging skin treatments are ideal for everything from acne scarring to uneven skin tone. While your skincare needs will change following treatment, you’ll see quick, dramatic results that will boost your confidence and transform the way you think about your skin.
Looking to Brighten Skin & Take Years Off Your Appearance?
By removing the top layer of skin, the Artic Laser Peel (or MicroLaser Peel) eliminates damaged cells that can give skin a tired, aged look. While ablative treatments remove 100% of skin up to a certain depth, every skin type is unique. Your doctor will determine the depth of the laser during your consultation. Treatment often focuses on a targeted area, but the laser allows the practitioner to “feather” the skin to create a seamless and cohesive look.
As skin heals, fresh cells grow and rejuvenate the treated area. That is why we call it laser resurfacing—it reveals the healthy, undamaged skin underneath, lending you a bright and youthful glow. Choose a laser for fine lines, sun damage, acne scarring, and more.
Results include healthier-looking skin, often with reduced wrinkles and improved color evenness. Patients often say that it looks like their skin went from looking tired to vibrant with improved skin tone and texture. One of the advantages of this treatment is that it causes little pain and downtime. While results vary, most patients will see significant results.
MicroLaser Peels are commonly used to treat skin imperfections on the face, neck, and chest. The hands are also treatable. During your consultation, we’ll explore where laser anti-aging treatment will be most effective.
What Makes the MicroLaser Peel Different than Similar Treatments?
A MicroLaser peel is an epidermal treatment. Our certified laser technicians at EvolvMD MedSpa use a laser to remove the outer layer of skin with the utmost precision. The skin is then resurfaced at a micro level to remove damaged and dead skin cells. The process uncovers a fresh layer of healthy and vibrant skin.
MicroLaser Peel vs Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing
Compare this to a dermal treatment, such as fractional laser skin resurfacing—for example, Aerolase treatment. Aerolase is a multipurpose treatment that offers a less intense but, subsequently, less dramatic result. Rather than removing the top layer of skin, the laser delivers precise beams to the lower layers of skin. It works by coagulating the tissue beneath the skin. Unlike MicroLaser treatment, you will likely need multiple treatments before you begin to see significant results.
Ideally, you’ll receive both epidermal and dermal treatment. MicroLaser treatments and fractional treatments work together to seamlessly rejuvenate, brighten, and tighten the skin. An Aerolase treatment will enhance the effects of your MicroLaser peel. All patients can benefit from combining these two treatments in pursuit of optimal results. It’s common for patients to jumpstart their skin rejuvenation journey with a MicroLaser peel and use Aerolase for maintenance!
MicroLaser Peel vs Chemical Peel
Chemical Peels are excellent treatments for patients looking for a surface-level treatment that will target the epidermis. A chemical treatment accomplishes the same goals as a MicroLaser treatment. The results of your chemical peel may be less dramatic, and you may require multiple treatments to achieve your aesthetic goals. Furthermore, the results of a MicroLaser peel tend to last longer, which some consider a better investment.
During your consultation, the EvolvMD team will help steer you toward the resurfacing treatment that will help you achieve your goals.
MicroLaser Peels Are Effective in Reducing the Appearance Of:
- Hyperpigmentation: Hormonal shifts can often lead to an overproduction of melanin, creating dark spots on the skin. Micro laser peels are the best peeling solution for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. It’s also the best solution for age spots, pregnancy mask, and similar concerns.
- Enlarged Pores: We’ll use a laser for skin texture improvements, including large or oversized pores that add unwanted texture to your skin.
- Fine lines & wrinkles: We can safely use a laser on aging skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of collagen and elastin. You’ll experience smoother, more youthful skin with a natural radiance as your skin heals.
- Acne scars: While not ideal for active acne, we frequently recommend laser resurfacing for acne scars. A laser peel for acne scars will reduce the appearance of scar tissue and allow fresh tissue to form.
- Scarring: Just as micro laser peel is the best peeling solution for acne scars, it also reduces the appearance of other scarring on the body.
- Sun damage: Laser resurfacing for sun damage removes the outer layer of damaged skin, allowing undamaged skin to resurface. It’s the ideal laser for uneven skin tone caused by UV exposure. It can even reduce the appearance of unwanted freckling after sun exposure.

Many patients say that, following a MicroLaser peel, they feel like they have a sunburn on the treated area. There may be some redness, itchiness, and warmth. Believe it or not, this is a very good sign! We think of MicroLaser peel treatment as a “controlled burn” that safely triggers the skin to self-repair. While there is some discomfort compared to less dramatic treatments, our patients fall in love with their results. Think of it as starting over with a brand-new outer layer of skin, providing a second chance to prioritize skincare for life.
