At Deseret Dermatology, we understand that sometimes, your skin needs more than just topical treatments or non-invasive procedures to achieve the results you desire. That’s where our expert skin surgery services come into play. Dr. Barlow and his team specialize in a wide range of surgical solutions designed to address many skin conditions and concerns.
Rediscover Radiant, Youthful Skin
As leaders in dermatological care, we use state-of-the-art technology to address a variety of skin concerns, ensuring you experience optimal results and a renewed sense of confidence. Deseret Dermatology uses the ablative Venus Erbium laser, which is ideal for facial resurfacing and scar reduction. This ablative laser removes the top layer of skin to reveal fresh, healthy skin while also stimulating collagen production. The Venus laser peel can diminish fine lines, minimize the visibility of pores, enhance the evenness of skin tone and texture, and reduce hyperpigmentation in suitable individuals. Deep peels can be used to recontour scars, delivering remarkable improvements. We offer light, medium, and deep laser peels to cater to your skin needs.
Your Advanced Laser Peel
Before your laser treatment, Dr. Barlow will apply numbing cream to the treatment area. You can relax for 20-30 minutes as the cream takes full effect. Once ready, you will be given protective eyewear for your safety. Dr. Barlow will fire the laser in sweeping motions, producing a popping sound as the laser works to remove the top layer of your skin. Depending on the depth of your peel, the procedure can address concerns like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or scars with varying degrees of intensity.
Your recovery time will vary based on the depth of the peel. A light peel typically heals within a week, with mild discoloration fading after 8-12 hours. For deeper peels, expect a recovery period of at least three weeks. For all peels, you should apply vinegar soaks twice a day for the first week to aid the healing process. We will explain the soaking method and answer any questions that you may have about caring for your treated skin.

Laser Peel FAQs
Laser skin treatments are cosmetic procedures that use concentrated beams of light to target and treat various skin issues. They work by delivering controlled energy to specific layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production, accelerating cell turnover rates, and targeting pigment, blood vessels, or other skin structures to address concerns like wrinkles, scars, or discoloration.
Laser treatments can effectively address a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, birthmarks, vascular issues (like broken blood vessels or rosacea), and uneven skin texture. They can also promote overall skin rejuvenation.
Laser treatments are generally safe when performed by trained professionals. However, side effects can include temporary redness, swelling, itching, and in some cases, changes in skin color. The risk of side effects varies depending on the type of laser and individual skin type. It’s crucial to follow post-treatment care instructions and protect your skin from the sun.
The number of sessions required and the time it takes to see results depend on the specific laser treatment and the skin concern being addressed. Some treatments may yield visible improvements within days, while others may take several weeks or multiple sessions.
