How Do I Choose the Best Micro Laser Peel?

To choose the best laser micro peel, you will need the guidance of a skin-care professional. Try to find one who will offer you a free consultation so that all of your concerns can be adequately addressed. Avoid allowing yourself to undergo the procedure when it appears that the service provider has a routine approach. Know that issues such as colored skin require special consideration and find a service provider who has relevant experience. Clearly outline your goals and afterward follow the advised course of treatment.

You should make decisions about your laser micro peel with an experienced skin-care professional. If you are dealing with a service provider who is not demonstrating leadership in guiding your decisions, that should concern you and you should find someone else. There are a number of other things that you want to consider when choosing the best service provider, and there is a list of issues that you should discuss with him or her to help formulate the best treatment for you. Prioritize service providers who offer a free consultation.

Understand that a laser micro peel is not a one-size-fit-all procedure. It is one that should be tailored to address your circumstances. If you have dark- or olive-colored skin, be aware that you may face increased risks of skin darkening. This is something that your service provider should discuss with you. If he does not do so, this may indicate that he does not have substantial experience conducting the procedure on people of color, which is not a situation you should take lightly.

You also want to avoid choosing a service provider who shows little or no regard for your medical history. Questions that should be posed include those about pregnancy, history of cold sores, and history of keloid scarring. Any time you have special considerations, it is best for you to find someone who is well experienced in that regard.

This means that when you consult with the service provider you need to know what your goals are. Those goals and the condition of your skin will be factors that help the skin care professional decide on the intensity of your laser micro peel and the number of peels that will be required. If you want to have more than one area of your body treated, make sure the skin-care professional is aware of this in advance.

Trust the professional's advice on the course of treatment once one is outlined for you. Do not try to pressure her to conduct peels more aggressively than she deems best so that you can experience more dramatic results at a faster pace. Also avoid trying to schedule follow-up procedures more frequently than you are advised to.
