Can I go deeper than 10 microns for microlaser peel for Asian skin?

Thank you for sharing your question. I find that the erbium laser is particularly safe for darker skin tones. Patch testing is performed to help assure safety. See an experienced oculofacial surgeon with laser expertise for in-person evaluation and proper guidance. Good luck!

I own a Sciton resurfacing laser. I have done many Asian skin types that are type 3 with 20 µ resurfacing without difficulty. 
The patients have been very happy and I am not run into a single difficulty at this depth.

Good luck!

Here are the facts- skin on your face is 100 microns for the epidermis. Using sandpaper (fine grit) you will get 10-20 microns off. 10 microns for Scition is vvvvvv conservative as only 10% of your epidermis is treated. You can safely go to 100 microns (full epidermal peel) with a heal time of 5 days. For Ethnic skin I prefer Pico lasers - see my YouTube videos on the various lasers I use to treat ethnic skin types. Nothing against Scition as I use this laser at least 3-4 times per day, but a 10 micron peel is very conservative. If one is limited by 1 or 2 lasers, you will not get the best METHOD to achieve you end goals. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
