Micro Laser Peel: The Reason Why This Skin Treatment Is So Popular
Alright, let’s cut to the chase—lip wrinkles and mouth lines, those pesky little creases that seem to show up out of nowhere, can be a real buzzkill. You know the ones I’m talking about—the lines that make lipstick feather, that deepen when you smile, and just seem to get more pronounced every year. But what if I told you that you don’t have to just accept them as part of the deal? There’s a way to smooth those lines out and get back to feeling like your confident, radiant self. Enter: MicroLaserPeel.
Let me share a story with you. My friend Brooke was starting to get pretty self-conscious about those fine lines around her mouth. She tried every product and treatment under the sun—creams, Lasers, microneedling you name it—but nothing seemed to do the trick. Then she heard about Micro Laser Peel, and she decided to go for it. The results? Nothing short of amazing. Her lip lines gone, her jowls tightened, and she could finally put on her favorite lipstick without worrying about it settling into those lines.
So if you’ve been eyeing those lip lines and jowls in the mirror, wondering what you can do about them, Micro Laser Peel might just be your secret weapon. It’s time to smooth things out and start loving your smile again—because you deserve to feel as fabulous as you are.

What Is MicroLaserPeel?
Micro Laser Peel is a laser treatment that removes 100% of the outermost layers of your skin to reveal the fresh, new skin underneath. Fractional treatments only treat 50% of the skin.
I’ve heard the best analogy from another expert laser surgeon in Dallas, “Think of it as mowing the lawn vs lawn aeration (poking holes).”
The Contourl TRL refers to the deeper settings that remove epidermis and beyond. Most people assume that CO2 lasers are the gold standard for deep wrinkle treatment, but Contour TRL can actually go deeper than CO2 while offering more precision.
- Surprising fact: Despite its ability to penetrate deeper into the skin, the Contour TRL can result in faster healing and less prolonged redness. This is due to the advanced technology that allows more control over tissue damage, minimizing unnecessary thermal injury.
Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, deep dynamic wrinkles, scars, this treatment can be tailored to your specific needs. Additionally, not all facial skin is the same and some areas require more aggressive settings while other areas like the eyelids require much less energy.
And unlike other laser treatments that can require several treatments to see any difference, Micro Laser Peel/Contour TRL is designed to be more of a “one and done”—making it a perfect option for women over 50 who want to resurface their skin once and for all. I’ve seen results last up to 10 years (with the insurance policy of sunscreen, retinol and vitamin c products)

Why Micro Laser Peel or Contour TRL Is Perfect for Women Over 50
As we age, our skin’s needs change. What worked in our 30s and 40s might not be enough to address the more stubborn signs of aging that start to appear in our 50s. This is where Micro Laser Peel really shines. Age does not diminish the effectiveness of a Micro Laser Peel, making it a significantly better option than microneedling, RF microneedling, or fillers for addressing dynamic lines around the mouth.
Addressing Age-Related Skin Concerns: One of the biggest reasons women over 50 are flocking to Micro Laser Peel is its ability to target and treat common aging concerns, like fine lines, wrinkles, pores, and sun damage. If you’ve noticed that your skin is starting to lose its elasticity or that those age spots are becoming more pronounced, this treatment will erase those changes and bring back a more youthful glow.
Highly Effective: My friend Jennifer was worried about how her mature skin would react to laser treatments. After all, we’ve all heard horror stories about overly aggressive treatments that leave your skin red and irritated 5+ months. But with Micro Laser Peel, she was pleasantly surprised by how predictable it was.
Exactly what she should expect in the first 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks and one month were all covered in detail. Her results were so amazing, all of her friends called the office to book it. The laser works just deep enough to stimulate new skin growth beneath the wrinkles without causing excessive irritation, so you get the benefits without the drawbacks.
Predictable Downtime: One of the most appealing aspects of Micro Laser Peel is the predictable downtime. Day to day, I can tell you exactly what you will experience, and that in itself is a huge relief for patients. After the treatment, your skin feels like you have a moderate sunburn however you will likely still be numb. Once you get home you may have been prescribed medications or given ice packs to help relieve the heat.
The sunburn sensation goes down significantly each day and after day three, there shouldn’t be much pain at all. The only uncomfortable part is cleansing (which you must do every 3-4 hours in the first few days). It just feels tight and sore but once you get the aquaphor applied, it will soothe all of that away. That’s it! Rinse and repeat until you’re over the hump of seven days. After that point it is much smoother sailing.
Predictably, 6 weeks later, all signs of redness were gone for Jennifer. At day 7, she began concealing the redness with her tinted sunscreen which helped but you could still see pink showing through. Day 12, she was able to conceal the redness with her Clinique Beyond Perfecting in Breeze without the shadow coming through.
- Important note: If you simply cannot schedule this amount of recovery in your busy lives, the short alternative would be the Profractional Laser. You will require more sessions but you can get a wonderful result that way as well. The recovery is only a week.

The Benefits of Micro Laser Peel for Aging Skin
Smoother, More Even Skin Texture:
As we age, our skin can start to feel rough or uneven. MicroLaserPeel works wonders on smoothing out those rough patches, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth.
After just one treatment, you’ll notice a significant improvement in the texture of your skin.
Reduction in Pigmentation Issues:
Age spots, sun spots, and other pigmentation issues can be some of the most stubborn signs of aging to deal with. But MicroLaserPeel can help fade those spots, giving your skin a more even tone.
This was one of Karen’s favorite results—she felt like her complexion was brighter and more uniform, which gave her a boost of confidence.
Enhanced Radiance and Glow:
Remember that fresh, dewy glow your skin used to have? Micro Laser Peel can help bring that back. By removing the dull, outer layers of skin, it reveals the healthier, more radiant skin underneath. It’s like hitting the refresh button on your complexion.
Long-Term Skin Health:
One of the things I love about Micro Laser Peel is that it’s not just a quick fix. The treatment stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production, which means your skin continues to improve over time.
I’ve personally seen a woman go 10+ years without requiring additional treatments. Secondarily to cosmetic benefits, there has been more research supporting that these ablative types of lasers can prevent skin cancer.

Real-Life Success Stories
Jennifer isn’t the only one who’s fallen in love with Micro Laser Peel. I’ve seen countless women over 50 who have experienced incredible transformations with this treatment. Take Sarah, for example—a 55-year-old who had struggled with deep wrinkles and sun damage for years. After just one session, Sarah noticed that her skin was smoother, pore size had shrunk, her wrinkles gone, and her sun spots had faded significantly. She told me that she felt like she had finally found a treatment that actually delivered on its promises.
And it’s not just patients who are raving about Micro Laser Peel. Dermatologists and skincare experts are also singing its praises for its ability to deliver consistent, reliable results without the downsides of more invasive procedures.

The MicroLaserPeel Experience: What to Expect
Holy Redness!! Depending on the depth of treatment, expect prolonged erythema. To better conceal this redness, makeup or tinted sunscreen can be applied after the skin has re-epithelialized around Day 7-10. With the right makeup, (I recommend Clinique’s beyond perfecting) it will not be as obvious.
Below is an exact representation of a healing recovery of just the lower portion of the face. You can see that the reddish, pinkish hue can a while.
The Consultation: The first step is to schedule a consultation with your dermatologist, aesthetician or other medical provider. During this visit, you’ll discuss your skin concerns and goals, and your provider will determine the best treatment plan for you. They’ll also explain how the procedure works and answer any questions you might have.
The Procedure: On the day of your treatment, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort as well as nitrous oxide or dental blocks for added comfort. The procedure itself is relatively quick—usually about 30 minutes—and involves the laser passing over the treatment area to remove the outermost layers of skin. You might feel a mild warming sensation, but it’s generally well-tolerated. You can either treat the full face or smaller more customized areas such as the mouth area or eyelids.
Recovery and Aftercare: After the treatment, your skin might feel like it has a moderate sunburn, and you’ll likely experience some peeling over the next few days. It’s important to keep your skin cleansed/moisturized and to avoid sun exposure during this time. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to help ensure the best results. As you will see below, the redness is what lasts the longest.
The Cost: Cost is mainly dependent on who is performing the treatment. Typically a full face Micro Laser Peel or Contour TRL treatment can range also depending on depth, from $2000-$7000.
Frequency of Treatment: Depending on your skin’s needs, your provider may recommend a series of treatments spaced several months apart. Many women find that maintaining their results with periodic touch-ups keeps their skin looking its best.
I’ve performed hundreds of these treatments lately. The trend seems to be heading towards ablative lasers. In part because there are less treatments required and dramatic results that last much longer than the average laser devices. In other words, clients are willing to undergo more “social downtime” for a longer, better result.

Is MicroLaserPeel Right for You?
If you’re over 50 and noticing the signs of aging becoming more pronounced, Micro Laser Peel might be exactly what you need. It’s particularly well-suited for women who want to address fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and sun damage without resorting to more invasive procedures. In addition, anyone that wants to look as natural as possible and youthful for their age without resorting to frequent treatments that are often technique dependent.
Ideal Candidates: Frankly, lighter skin types have less risks to consider. If you have a darker skin tone this treatment can help you too. Make sure to talk to your provider about an effective pre & post skincare regimen. It’s especially beneficial for women with mild to moderate skin concerns who want to see noticeable improvements in their skin’s texture and tone.
Considerations and Risks: Like any cosmetic treatment, it’s important to consult with a qualified provider to determine if Micro Laser Peel is right for you. While the treatment is generally safe and well-tolerated, it’s important to follow your provider’s advice and aftercare instructions to minimize any risks. The main risks are infections and scarring. Simple habits like good, hygienic after care as well as being cognizant of your environment can prevent any future issues.
