About Laser Peels
Laser peels are minimally invasive skin resurfacing treatments that gently remove the outermost layers of the skin to improve texture, tone, and clarity. Unlike deep ablative lasers, laser peels provide effective skin renewal with minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for those seeking skin rejuvenation without extended recovery periods.
At Kingsway Dermatology and Aesthetics (KDAA), we offer a range of laser peel treatments using cutting-edge laser technology to achieve refined, glowing skin while stimulating collagen and elastin production for long-term benefits.
What Can a Laser Peel Treat?
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Sun Damage & Age Spots
- Uneven Skin Tone & Texture
- Superficial Acne Scars
- Dull, Tired-Looking Skin
- Enlarged Pores
