What is the difference between a "nano peel" and a "micro-laser peel"? Are they the same thing?

Thanks for the great question! The main difference is the depth and the recovery. The nano laser peel is typically 4-6microns and a micro laser peel can be 10-100 microns deep. Both treatments will help with skin texture, while the microlaser peel is also able to remove superficial sun damage from the skin. Because the microlaser peel is going down to a deeper point in the skin the recovery is longer. With a nano peel you may be red for 12-24 hours, while with a micro laser peel you may be red for 1-10 days depending on who deeply you are treated. I hope this helps!~Dr. Sieber

Yes, basically they are the name thing.  They are both resurfacing treatments, but they go at different depths.  In my office, the nano peel is lighter with less down time.  Sometimes we refer to this treatment at a "Weekend Peel."  You have to wear aquaphor and heal in about 3 days.  The results are minimal.  The micro peel goes a little bit deeper, with more dramatic results.  However, the downtime is about 5-7 days.  Typically patients have to do aquaphor for about 4-5 days.
