A superficial treatment is also known as a laser peel and is typically used for those with minimal sun damage, fine lines and superficial wrinkles as well as for those that want to improve their skin with minimal downtime of 3-5 days.
A deep treatment is a more aggressive treatment and is used to target sun damage that has resulted in significant textural changes to the skin as well as deep lines and wrinkles. Deep treatments typically result in 7 days of downtime. Most patients will elect to take 5-7 days off from work.
