Luminous skin with minimal downtime
If you notice signs of aging appearing on your skin, like uneven pigmentation or fine lines, you may begin to consider intervention with cosmetic treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or lasers.
Levitt Medical Aesthetics is proud to offer the perfect introductory laser treatment with our advanced Contour TRL laser by Sciton, the NanoLaserPeel™ to patients looking for a quick way to enhance their appearance with minimal discomfort and downtime involved.
The NanoLaserPeel is a light exfoliation treatment that uses state-of-the-art erbium laser technology to refresh and rejuvenate the skin. The procedure removes the outer layer of skin cells and damaged tissue to reveal softer, more youthful skin underneath.

How it works
The NanoLaserPeel is an ablative laser treatment that instantly removes the outer layer of the epidermis using light energy rather than chemicals or harsh abrasives.
The laser offers precision to remove the layers to the exact preferred depth. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels often cannot reach the same depth that the NanoLaserPeel can achieve. By creating controlled “wounds” to the skin, we trigger your body’s natural healing response. This signals the skin to form new skin cells and stimulates the production of collagen in the area. After 1 to 2 days of downtime, skin is smooth, glowing, and has noticeably less brown spots and sun damage.
NanoLaserPeel not only removes the outermost layers of the skin, it also gently heats the epidermis. This heat stimulates collagen production in the dermal layers, which plumps the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The heat also results in a tightening effect of the skin in the days after the treatment, which will continue to improve for 4 to 6 months after the treatment.
You will continue to see results for 4-6 months after the treatment.
What to expect
We perform this laser resurfacing treatment at our Albany, OR office using Sciton’s Contour TRL laser platform.
Most patients tolerate the treatment well with no need for topical anesthetics, though we can provide it to those with concerns about discomfort. When it’s time to begin the treatment, we will recline you back and apply protective eyewear. The laser treatment itself takes only about 20 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation of warmth or that of a sunburn during and shortly after the treatment.
After the NanoLaserPeel, your skin may be red and sensitive, similar to a sunburn. These side effects usually subside within 2 to 3 days, depending on the depth of the treatment.
Once skin heals, it feels soft, smooth, and makeup goes on easily and blends flawlessly. Results of the NanoLaserPeel will be apparent once the skin has healed and will continue for many months. Many of our patients choose to schedule regular NanoLaserPeel laser resurfacing treatments to maintain their positive results.
Before & after
FAQ
Almost anyone can make a suitable candidate for the NanoLaserPeel from Dr. Levitt. If you're with the early signs of aging, including the appearance of fine lines, dull skin tone, enlarged pores, or areas of hyperpigmentation you may find laser resurfacing to be the noninvasive treatment they are looking for. Patients who are pregnant or suffering with a skin infection may not make a fit candidate for the procedure. During your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Levitt, he will determine if the Nano Peel is right for you.
Yes! We perform MicroLaserPeels™ and deep skin resurfacing using the Contour TRL platform. These are stronger laser procedures and are a great option for patients who have more skin damage or can handle more downtime.
Most patients can achieve their desired facial rejuvenation with only one NanoLaserPeel treatment. However, depending on your skin condition and goals, Dr. Levitt may recommend a repeat treatment, or suggest additional cosmetic treatments, to achieve your goals.
It is important to follow all instructions. We will give you some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. This will minimize your risk for infection and ensure the shortest healing time. Your new skin will be very sensitive to UV light, and you must avoid sun exposure for a day or two. Cover your skin, wear a hat, and religiously apply SPF 30+ if you have to go outdoors. Getting into this habit daily also ensures longer-lasting results from your NanoLaserPeel laser resurfacing treatment.
