No longer can you just cover up your facial flaws with creams and lotions? You can now get treatments like CoolPeel® that are the best in their field.
Too often, though, trendy new beauty treatments are just a bunch of hype and don’t live up to your expectations. Whether you’ve been burned before or you’re just starting to think about cosmetic treatment, it’s important to know everything there is to know.
Here, Lasting Impressions expert, Dr. Galope, takes a closer look at CoolPeel, one of our most popular services, and tells you what to expect.
CoolPeel is the most recent treatment to use a CO2 laser to resurface the skin. The SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser uses high-energy pulses that are short and concentrated to remove the top layers of skin.
How CoolPeel works
CoolPeel works best for these skin problems:
- Getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines
- Getting rid of the damage caused by the sun
- Minimizing pores
- Changing the feel of your skin
- Getting rid of acne scars
- Tightening skin
- Getting the body to make more collagen
- Taking care of flaws
A full-face CoolPeel treatment usually takes between 5 and 15 minutes, and you don’t need anesthesia or local numbing because the process is almost painless. You can ask Dr. Galope to put on numbing cream, though, if that would make you feel better.
What to look forward to
CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatments have been around for a while. They can be very effective, but things get worse before they get better. That means you might end up with something that looks and feels like a bad sunburn, and it might even blister and ooze and turn into a crust as it heals. Laser skin resurfacing usually takes about five days for the skin to heal.
But CoolPeel does something different.
This advanced system gives you the power and benefits of CO2 resurfacing treatments without downtime. Because the Tetra laser system doesn’t use heat, it causes less and almost no damage to the skin around it.
CoolPeel also lets you fix bothersome flaws with little chance of hyperpigmentation, scarring, or infection.
As your skin heals, you might feel a little bit of dryness, so use gentle moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated. Talk to us about the products you use, because you might need to stop using some of them for a while.
