CoolPeel/Tetra Peel/CO2 Treatments
CoolPeel
CoolPeel is an innovative new way to deliver the traditional benefits of a CO2 Laser Resurfacing Treatment without the downtime. This comfortable procedure targets only the superficial skin tissue, removing damaged skin to reveal a younger and healthier-looking complexion.
CoolPeel is ideal for treating:
- Fine lines
- Sun damage
- Oversized pores
- Irregular skin texture
While CO2 Laser Resurfacing treatments usually include lengthy downtime to allow the skin to heal, the CoolPeel boasts immediate results without any real downtime and with a reduced risk of complications, including hyperpigmentation, demarcation, or infection.
The CoolPeel treatment uses the SmartXide Tetra laser, which delivers high energy in short-pulses to resurface the skin without any lingering heat – hence the name, CoolPeel! Treatment is fast, too, taking between 5-15 minutes to perform.
What is a CoolPeel?
CoolPeel is a brand new way to safely, and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment. By targeting just the superficial layer of skin tissue, damaged skin is removed revealing younger and healthier looking skin.
What makes CoolPeel different?
CO2 lasers are the gold standard in treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes as well as tighten skin and balance tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production and heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin. Sounds great but CO2 treatments are often accompanied by considerable downtime and risk while damaged skin heals.
Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of CO2 treatments but ONLY the CoolPeel can deliver a fractional ablative treatment without the downtime. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation or induced infection.
How does the CoolPeel work?
A CoolPeel laser treatment can only be done using the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser. The Tetra is the latest, most advanced CO2 laser from DEKA, a global leader in aesthetic technology. Only Tetra can control its output to deliver high energy in extremely short-pulses to deliver impressive superficial, skin resurfacing results without the lingering heat that would traditionally damage the surrounding skin. The lack of unnecessary heat is why we call it cool – get it? – and how you get an immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.
Who is a candidate for CoolPeel?
You are a good candidate for a CoolPeel laser treatment if you are looking to reduces the appearance of fine lines and sun damage, minimize pores and improves skin texture. Your skin will look healthier and younger.
How long does a CoolPeel take?
A full-face CoolPeel laser peel can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes.
Is anesthesia or numbing required?
While there is no need for anesthesia or localized numbing, your provider may use a numbing cream for additional comfort.
What is my recovery time?
One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel, is that there is minimal downtime. You should expect to be a little red, as if you have a sunburn, for a day, or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities. Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals so it is important to keep the skin hydrated.
When can I return to my skincare routine?
After your CoolPeel treatment, it is important to keep your skin hydrated and there may be certain products you should avoid. Talk to your provider about the best post-treatment care and when you can return to your daily skincare regimen.
