Skin Tightening

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 a 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 good candidate for a 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.

How long does a CoolPeel take?

A full-face CoolPeel® laser peel can take anywhere from 15-20 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. We recommend a post-procedure recovery kit that will enhance your skin to help with healing and rejuvenation.
