Overview

What Is a MicroLaserPeel?

Dr. Rocco Piazza offers ProFractional MicroLaserPeel in Austin, TX — a lighter, more superficial setting of the ProFractional erbium (2940nm) laser platform that ablates a fine pattern of microscopic channels across the skin’s surface. Because only a fraction of the treatment area is affected at any one time, the surrounding tissue stays intact and heals quickly while your body’s natural wound-healing response smooths texture, softens fine lines, and evens tone. It’s a gentler alternative to the deeper Erbium ProFractional resurfacing settings on the same platform, designed for patients who want visible refinement with less downtime.

At a Glance

Everything You Need to Know

01

What It Treats

  • Scars
  • Wrinkles & fine lines
  • Sun damage
  • Skin discoloration

Goal

Refine tone and texture while leaving surrounding skin intact for a quicker, more comfortable healing process than full-field resurfacing.

02

The Technology

A fractionated ProFractional erbium laser (2940nm wavelength) ablates tiny channels of skin at depths ranging from 25 to 1500 microns, calibrated to your goals and treatment area — the MicroLaserPeel setting uses the shallower end of that range for a lighter peel.

Numbing

Topical anesthetic

Treatment Length

15 min – 1 hour

03

A Focused Application

Using the same fractionated technology, Dr. Piazza also offers ProFractional laser eyelid tightening, resurfacing the upper and lower eyelid skin at 100–300 microns to tighten with no scarring and little downtime.

04

Recovery

  • Redness and swelling typical for the first few days
  • About 7–10 days of social downtime for a full facial treatment
  • Eyelid tightening carries little downtime on its own
  • Results build gradually as new collagen remodels over the following weeks

Why Choose MicroLaserPeel

A lighter touch,
real refinement.

MicroLaserPeel gives patients a way to meaningfully improve skin tone and texture without committing to the downtime of deeper resurfacing — a fractionated approach that leaves surrounding skin intact so healing happens faster.

  1. 01

    Smoother Texture

    Fine lines, rough texture, and shallow scarring soften as the treated channels heal.

  2. 02

    Balanced Tone

    Sun damage and skin discoloration fade as fresh, evenly pigmented skin resurfaces.

  3. 03

    Tighter Eyelids

    The same platform tightens upper and lower eyelid skin with no incisions or scars.

  4. 04

    Faster Healing

    Because only a fraction of skin is treated at once, surrounding tissue speeds recovery.

  5. 05

    Customizable Depth

    Treatment depth is dialed in to your goals — lighter for upkeep, deeper when more correction is needed.

  6. 06

    Minimal Downtime

    A gentler alternative to full-field resurfacing for patients who cannot take extended time off.

Investment

Cost & financing.

MicroLaserPeel pricing depends on the treatment area and depth Dr. Piazza recommends for your goals; ProFractional laser eyelid tightening specifically runs $1,500–$1,800.

Results

Your MicroLaserPeel Results

Results build gradually over the weeks following treatment as new collagen remodels the skin — texture smooths, tone evens, and fine lines and scars soften. Most patients see results last between one and five years, with maintenance treatments and diligent sun protection helping outcomes last longer.
