Adjustable Peel Depths for Adjustable Results
A shallow 10-micron SmoothPeel can be used to gently refresh tired skin or to prepare your skin for further procedures such as the GentleMax Photofacial. This shallow peel exposes the hyperpigmentation, making the removal of brown pigment more effective. More resistant red discoloration is easily treated with Vbeam laser.
A 50-micron peel gives a substantial resurfacing and retexturization of the skin. Along with Dr. Cobos, you can choose the peel depth and acceptable downtime in reaching your skin improvement objective.
