Sciton Micro & Nano Laser Scottsdale

At Zona Med Spa in Scottsdale, Sciton’s MicroLaserPeel and NanoLaserPeel are two of our most popular erbium laser resurfacing treatments. Using the same advanced Sciton platform, these customizable peels polish and renew the skin’s surface for a brighter, smoother, and more youthful complexion with precision and minimal downtime.

Both treatments gently remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production deep beneath the surface. The MicroLaserPeel offers more dramatic resurfacing for moderate concerns, while the NanoLaserPeel serves as a gentle “lunchtime” option for subtle refreshment. Our providers will personally assess your skin and recommend the ideal peel depth and protocol to match your goals, skin type, and lifestyle.

In this guide we’re going to share its benefits, how it works, how much it costs, pre and post care steps, and answer some of the most frequently asked questions we hear about it…

Benefits of Sciton MicroLaserPeel & NanoLaserPeel

  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Smooths surface lines for a more youthful appearance.
  • Dullness & Rough Texture: Removes dead skin cells to reveal fresh, glowing skin.
  • Enlarged Pores: Minimizes pore size for a refined, smooth complexion.
  • Uneven Skin Tone & Pigmentation: Reduces sun damage, age spots, and discoloration.

The NanoLaserPeel is ideal for patients seeking quick, subtle results with almost no downtime, while the MicroLaserPeel provides deeper resurfacing for more significant concerns. Both deliver natural-looking results that continue to improve for weeks after treatment.

How Sciton MicroLaserPeel & NanoLaserPeel Work

Both treatments use Sciton’s precision erbium laser technology to safely remove thin layers of damaged skin in a controlled manner. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production for smoother, healthier skin.

NanoLaserPeel: A very superficial peel that gently polishes the outermost layer of skin. Perfect for busy patients who want visible radiance with minimal recovery.

MicroLaserPeel: A customizable medium-depth peel that addresses more noticeable texture, lines, and pigmentation. Depth can be precisely adjusted for your needs.

Our team will begin with a thorough skin assessment and may apply topical numbing cream for comfort. The laser treatment itself is quick and tolerable. Most sessions finish with soothing, hydrating products and sunscreen. Results appear within days to weeks as your skin renews, with continued collagen improvement for up to 6 months.

Sciton MicroLaserPeel & NanoLaserPeel Cost

Pricing depends on the type of peel (Nano vs. Micro), the areas treated, and the customized protocol recommended during your consultation. Because each patient’s skin and goals are unique, we do not offer one-size-fits-all pricing.

For an accurate quote and personalized treatment plan, we recommend scheduling a consultation. Package pricing for a series is typically more cost-effective and delivers superior results.

Pre & Post Care

To ensure the best possible results and safe healing, we recommend these steps…

Before your appointment: Avoid retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and sun exposure for 5–7 days prior. Discontinue blood thinners and anti-inflammatories (with doctor approval). Arrive with clean skin.

After treatment: Expect mild redness and tightness similar to a sunburn (more noticeable with MicroLaserPeel). Use only the gentle cleanser and moisturizer provided, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Avoid direct sun, heat, strenuous exercise, and active skincare ingredients for the recommended period. NanoLaserPeel: Most patients resume normal activities within 1–3 hours. MicroLaserPeel: Social downtime typically lasts 3–7 days depending on depth.

Your provider will give you detailed, personalized aftercare instructions based on the peel chosen.
