What is 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.
-
How does 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.
-
Am I a good candidate?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. We do require a consultation (free of charge) before treatment to assess your skin, review the procedure, discuss your goals, answer your questions, and to determine if you are a candidate.
-
How long does the treatment take?A full-face CoolPeel laser peel can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Body treatments can take 45 - 60 minutes.
-
Do I need to apply numbing cream?While there is no need for anesthesia we do recommend applying a numbing ointment to the treated area 45-60 minutes prior to your treatment for additional comfort.
-
What is recovery time/downtime?One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel, is that there is minimal downtime (depending on the the level of your treatment). 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.
-
How many treatments are needed?The number of treatments required will vary depending on your skin concerns and goals, but a typical CoolPeel treatment plan includes three sessions, followed by maintenance as needed. Your medical provider can determine the right treatment plan for you based on your individual needs and desired results.
-
What treatments can be combined with CoolPeel?Because CoolPeel exclusively focuses on the outermost layer of the skin, combining it with our Virtue RF Microneedling treatment is a popular option to target multiple layers of the skin in a single session. Combination treatments are proven to have the most transformative results for skin rejuvenation. Your provider will discuss your goals and treatment options to determine which combination may be best for your skin.
-
Do I need to use specific products after my treatment?Yes. You will need to use certain products to help with skin recovery. We've put together a CoolPeel post-care kit that has everything you need to get the best results possible.
