Throughout the Juliet laser procedure, you can relax in our special treatment chair while the laser glides over the skin, directly targeting the designated surfaces for improvement. We can use our Zimmer Chiller (skin numbing with cryotherapy) throughout your treatment to keep you comfortable. The laser energy works to remove damaged skin cells while also promoting natural collagen production.
Following your treatment, your skin may appear red, and there may be some swelling and irritation. These symptoms subside in a few days, and the peeling process will occur over a 3 – 5-day timeframe.

Once the peeling is finished, your skin should feel smoother while appearing rejuvenated, younger, and clearer.
