What is CoolPeel?

CoolPeel is an advanced, cutting-edge laser treatment that revitalizes the skin without the need for downtime. CoolPeel is delivered with the Tetra CO2 laser. This laser treatment is highly controlled and delivers high energy in short pulses, resurfacing the skin without damaging the skin.

How does CoolPeel work?

The Tetra CO2 laser used for CoolPeel treatment delivers laser energy in shorter flashes, resulting in less damage to the skin while addressing skin concerns. CoolPeel resurfaces your skin and removes the damaged outer layer to reveal fresh, glowing skin.

The CoolPeel treatment deeply stimulates your body’s natural healing response–the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are the natural building blocks of the skin. They rebuild the skin from the inside out, resulting in a more youthful, firm structure and clearer, more beautiful skin.

What can CoolPeel treat?

The CoolPeel laser can treat skin concerns on the face, hands and neck.

CoolPeel can successfully treat a range of skin concerns, including the following:

Uneven skin texture
Dull, dry skin
Hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Skin blemishes
Sun damage
Large pores
Redness and inflammation
Acne scars and other types of scars
Stretch marks

What should I expect during a CoolPeel treatment?

We will apply a numbing cream ahead of time to ensure you are comfortable during the treatment. Once this takes effect, the treatment begins.

During a CoolPeel treatment, your aesthetic specialist will run the laser over the area being treated. You will feel warmth and a tingling sensation, and a mild bearable tenderness during treatment. Discomfort is very minimal.

Aftercare

After your CoolPeel treatment, there will be some redness that is comparable to a sunburn. This redness will last for a couple of days as your skin heals. However, this should not be significant enough to stop you from continuing your usual daily routine and activities.

Stay out of the direct sun for two days, and don’t allow your skin to dry out, and keep a very thin layer of Aquaphor on your skin if needed. Don’t wear makeup and sunscreen during this time.

Rest and Recovery Results after CoolPeel

Patients will notice a new, luminous glow after 3-4 days from the day of treatment. CoolPeel won’t cause heavy peeling or scabbing the way other laser resurfacing does, making results noticeable sooner.

After CoolPeel, pores appear smaller and wrinkles and hyperpigmentation start to fade. To achieve optimal results, we usually recommend between three and six treatments, each performed about a month apart.

The rejuvenating effects of CoolPeel generally last for years, with marked improvements in the vitality of the skin and general complexion building after each session.

What is the difference between CO2 Tetra Fractional Laser and CoolPeel?

Both Tetra CO2 and CoolPeel treatments are performed with Tetra CO2 laser and achieve outstanding results, but the treatments are different.

Tetra CO2 laser resurfacing

Tetra CO2 laser resurfacings the skin to smooth, renew, and brighten the complexion. Tetra CO2 reaches deeper levels of the skin to achieve a more dramatic renewal.

CoolPeel

CoolPeel addresses the uppermost layer of skin with shorter pulses of light. This reduces heat buildup in the skin and causes less damage. Results are significant, but the treatment results in very minimal recovery compared with traditional CO2 laser resurfacing.
