Gentle Skin Resurfacing with Anti-Aging Results

The summer months can take a toll on the skin with direct exposure to UV rays and harmful environmental factors like free radicals. These all lead to damage to the skin resulting in fine lines, hyperpigmentation and uneven texture. To combat these top skin concerns, we offer CoolPeel, which is a highly effective laser treatment with little to no downtime and long-lasting results. If you have a big event such as a wedding or other special occasion coming up, CoolPeel is the ultimate skin-perfecting treatment for a more youthful, glowing appearance.

What Is CoolPeel?

CoolPeel is an advanced, minimally invasive CO₂ laser resurfacing treatment that offers skin rejuvenation with significantly reduced downtime. It’s a fractional CO₂ laser treatment, but what sets it apart from other fractional laser treatments is that it delivers precise, controlled energy that limits unnecessary heat diffusion. CoolPeel is designed to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance with less discomfort and quicker recovery compared to traditional CO₂ lasers.

How CoolPeel CO₂ Resurfacing Works:

A fractional resurfacing laser creates microscopic channels in the skin in a polka dot pattern. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response – promoting new collagen and elastin production. Because it’s a fractional treatment, only a portion of the skin is treated at a time, allowing for faster healing and less downtime.

The DEKA proprietary CoolPeel software allows for controlled CO₂ energy delivery and can be found on our Tetra and Helix lasers. The proprietary software and settings found in these lasers deliver extremely short pulses of high-peak power CO2 laser energy which is necessary for the CoolPeel resurfacing. This controlled energy delivery fractionally ablates damaged skin cells with minimal heat diffusion. Thermal damage to surrounding tissues and downtime is therefore minimized.

Thus, CoolPeel achieves effective skin resurfacing without the prolonged redness, peeling, and downtime typically associated with traditional CO₂ treatments.

The benefits of CoolPeel CO₂ Resurfacing include:

• Improved Skin Texture and Tone: CoolPeel is effective for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other surface-level irregularities, leaving the skin smoother and more radiant.
• Reduced Pore Size: The fractional CO₂ energy also targets and tightens pores, which helps refine skin texture.
• Minimal Downtime: CoolPeel’s unique technology allows for faster recovery, typically 1–3 days of mild redness or swelling, making it convenient for patients who want resurfacing results without significant downtime.
• Safe for More Skin Types: The precision of CoolPeel makes it safer for a broader range of skin types, as the risk of hyperpigmentation or other side effects is reduced compared to traditional CO₂ lasers energy delivery.

Who is the ideal candidate for CoolPeel?

CoolPeel is an excellent choice for patients looking to address early signs of aging, fine lines, mild to moderate acne scars, and sun damage, especially those who prefer minimal recovery time. Since it’s gentler than full ablative CO₂, CoolPeel is suitable for those with busy schedules or those who may be sensitive to traditional CO₂ treatment downtime. This treatment is particularly great for soon-to-be brides to get their skin in tip-top shape before the big day.

Typical Results and Expectations

Patients generally see an improvement in skin texture and radiance within one to two weeks post-treatment, with full results developing over the following months as collagen production continues. Many patients benefit from a single session, though others may choose a series of treatments for enhanced results.

Thus, CoolPeel CO₂ resurfacing is ideal for achieving a refreshed, smoother, and more youthful complexion with a more convenient recovery process than traditional laser resurfacing. Contact our office to schedule a consultation so we can help you achieve your skin goals!
