MicroLaserPeel®
A deeper laser exfoliation smooths rough texture and refines pores to reveal a polished, more even complexion.
Have a weekend? That's all this takes. Treat Friday, glow by Monday.
The lightest setting on our resurfacing laser — a quick polish, not a deep correction.
NanoLaserPeel® is the gentlest treatment in our laser resurfacing family. It uses the same erbium technology as our deeper resurfacing options, but set to a very shallow depth that removes only the outermost, dullest layer of skin.
That shallow depth is the whole point. It's why NanoLaserPeel® is often called the 'lunchtime peel' — the treatment itself takes 15 to 30 minutes, and most patients are comfortable returning to normal activity within a few hours. It won't erase deep wrinkles or acne scarring — for that, MicroLaserPeel® or ProFractional® are better tools — but for dullness, rough texture, enlarged pores and fine lines, it delivers a real, visible brightening with almost nothing asked of your schedule in return.
Real brightening, minimal disruption, an easy treatment to repeat.
• Genuinely quick. Treatment time is 15 to 30 minutes, and most patients are back to normal activity within one to three hours.
• Minimal downtime. Total recovery is typically two to four days.
• Fast to see something. Sciton® cites noticeable results within three to five days.
• Gentle enough to repeat. Many patients build NanoLaserPeel® into an ongoing skincare rhythm, treating quarterly.
• A low-risk way to start. If you've never had a laser resurfacing treatment before, this is the easiest way to see how your skin responds.
• Layers well with other treatments. Providers often combine NanoLaserPeel® with ProFractional® or BBL® HEROic™ for a more complete result.

NanoLaserPeel® is performed at our Melville office by one of our physician assistants.
Topical numbing cream is optional for this treatment — many patients skip it entirely. Your provider passes the handpiece over the treatment area, and you'll feel brief warmth as the laser removes the outermost layer of skin. Sciton® cites 15 to 30 minutes of treatment time; including check-in, plan on roughly 30 to 45 minutes in the office.
Recovery is short and predictable. Immediately after treatment, skin feels tight with mild redness and swelling, similar to a sunburn — this typically settles within about 8 hours.
Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer until the skin has naturally exfoliated, avoid direct sun, and wear sunscreen as directed. Total recovery is typically two to four days, with noticeable brightening within three to five.
NanoLaserPeel® can be performed as a short series spaced two to six weeks apart for initial correction, then maintained quarterly.
NanoLaserPeel® is a great fit if your main concern is dullness, rough texture, enlarged pores or fine lines, and you want visible improvement without meaningful time off. It's also a popular choice before an event — a wedding, a reunion, a big weekend — since most patients are camera-ready again within a couple of days.
It works well as a first laser treatment for patients who haven't tried resurfacing before, and as an ongoing maintenance treatment between deeper sessions like ProFractional® or Contour TRL™.
If you're dealing with acne scarring, deep wrinkles, or significant sun damage, NanoLaserPeel® alone likely won't be enough — MicroLaserPeel®, ProFractional® or Contour TRL™ will get you further, and your provider can help you decide which at your consultation.
We begin by listening to your goals and the story behind them. Together with your plastic surgeon, you’ll explore options and define an approach aligned with your proportions, lifestyle, and vision.
Your surgical plan is thoughtfully designed around your anatomy, desired outcome, and our philosophy of natural, balanced refinement. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is one-size-fits-all.
From arrival to recovery, every detail is intentional. Our team creates a calm, reassuring environment so you feel informed, supported, and fully cared for.
Healing is guided by close communication, attentive follow-ups, and steady support. We’re with you at every step, ensuring your recovery feels smooth and predictable.
As healing progresses, balance and confidence come into focus. Our goal is for your results to feel unmistakably yours — refreshed, aligned, and effortlessly natural.

It depends on your goals. As a light peel or skin-maintenance routine, many patients repeat quarterly. Your provider can recommend a specific plan based on your skin.
It's very tolerable. Some patients choose a topical numbing cream, but many skip it entirely.
You'll typically notice results within a week, with continued improvement over the following weeks. Because the treatment is gentle, many patients repeat it regularly rather than treating it as a one-time fix.
Not effectively on its own — this is our lightest setting, designed for surface dullness and fine lines rather than deeper concerns. For acne scars or deeper wrinkles, ask your provider about ProFractional® or MicroLaserPeel®.
Yes. It's frequently combined with ProFractional® or BBL® HEROic™ for enhanced results in the same treatment plan.
This is not cosmetic surgery for a different you.
This is clarity — revealed through balance, intention, and deeply human listening.

“I cannot rate Dr. Romanelli or his staff highly enough. Surgery of any kind is terrifying, but they really put you at ease without minimizing your concerns. Everything from my consultation to insurance authorization to surgery and post-op has gone incredibly smoothly. I'm 8 weeks post-op and feeling great. Dr. Romanelli's skill, and the fact that he views each patient as unique, made all the difference. My migraines and neck pain have improved so much. If you're considering surgery, I'd recommend Dr. Romanelli without reservation.”C.F.
