CoolPeel™ has become a popular choice for skin rejuvenation, changing the way people think about CO2 laser treatments. Why? Because in the past, CO2 lasers often meant a long recovery time, accompanied by redness and peeling lasting for weeks. But CoolPeel™ offers a fresh and modern way that comes with great results and much less downtime. And when we say great results, we mean approximately 92% of patients indicated they would recommend the treatment in its entirety.
But what makes CoolPeel™ just so cool? Firstly, it is designed to treat the surface layers of your skin. This, of course, helps reduce fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and large pores. You know, your classic culprits when it comes to dimming your glow.
Secondly, it also leaves your skin feeling smoother and looking more refreshed than ever before. As a matter of fact, many people say their skin looks radiant, almost like it is been filtered! Therefore, it is absolutely no surprise that CoolPeel™ has become a tremendously popular choice for those with busy schedules who want real results without the long recovery time.
So, how does it work? In short, the technology behind CoolPeel™ is rooted in the advanced SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser from DEKA (renowned as one of the industry’s premium laser technologies). Its high-energy, ultra-short pulses precisely vaporise only the damaged outermost layer of your skin, thus preserving the underlying tissues from excessive heat exposure. This targeted approach significantly minimises discomfort and dramatically reduces your overall recovery period (making it all the rage, remember?).
When it comes to the CoolPeel™ treatment itself, it is quick and comfortable, usually taking between 5 to 15 minutes for a full face treatment (depending on what is being treated and the severity), and most patients find it so comfortable that numbing cream is not even needed.
After treatment, most people experience mild redness for a day or two (similar to a light sunburn) and can quickly get back to their normal routine. Following treatment, mild dryness and flakiness can also occur as your skin naturally sheds its older layers, but basic hydration strategies will do the trick. These include rich moisturisers and temporarily avoiding retinol products.
And since the laser gently removes tiny layers of skin, it helps your body produce more collagen and elastin, bringing back a firmer, smoother, and more youthful look, all while keeping the results looking ever-so-natural. Again, the question must be asked: why? Simply put, collagen and elastin are two vital proteins that help keep your skin looking great. However, like most things in our bodies, they decline with age, which is exactly why encouraging your body to produce more is well worth your while!
Clinics like New Skin Medical Spa in Augusta, Georgia, highly recommend CoolPeel™ for its effectiveness in improving skin texture, reducing age spots, and overall skin appearance, and its ability to do so often after just one session. While you may see some results right away, the best results usually come after 3 to 4 treatments. And disclaimer time, once more, the number of sessions truly depends on your skin condition, aesthetic goals, lifestyle, and recovery regimen.
However, MOST importantly, CoolPeel™ really stands out for its safety, effectiveness, and minimal downtime, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types. Unlike traditional laser treatments, which can sometimes cause hyperpigmentation or scarring in darker skin tones, CoolPeel™ has an impressively low risk, making it a safe and inclusive option for anyone looking to refresh their skin.
