Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about this popular skin rejuvenation treatment before scheduling your next appointment.
What Is CoolPeel?
CoolPeel is a non-invasive CO2 laser treatment that delivers healthier, younger-looking skin. The treatment is performed using the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser, which is the most advanced laser of its kind.
CoolPeel is generally regarded as a gentler and more versatile treatment than most other laser resurfacing treatments. As a result, it can provide brighter, more youthful skin for a broad range of people.
How Does CoolPeel CO2 Laser Treatment Work?
During a CoolPeel treatment, a gentle laser targets the top layers of your skin, creating many micro-injuries just below the surface. The skin penetrations kickstart your body’s natural healing process and stimulate new collagen production and tissue growth.
4 Benefits of CoolPeel Treatments at Reflections Medical Spa
CoolPeel treatments are growing in popularity due to their convenience and effectiveness. Read on to learn about 4 of the benefits you can expect from CoolPeel treatments at Reflections Medical Spa.
1. CoolPeel Targets a Variety of Cosmetic Concerns
CoolPeel can address numerous common cosmetic concerns, including:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Acne scarring
- Sagging skin
- Large pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Uneven skin texture
- Sun damage
- Areas of hyperpigmentation
CoolPeel is not ideal for deep-set wrinkles because it only targets the superficial layers of skin. However, the appearance of shallow wrinkles, folds, and fine lines can improve after just one treatment session. Best of all, CoolPeel results are natural-looking and long-lasting.
2. Treatments Are Quick and Easy
Many cosmetic treatments take an hour or more to complete. However, a CoolPeel session can take as little as 10 to 15 minutes to complete. This means you don’t have to clear a big chunk of your schedule, and you can get in and out of our office relatively quickly.
3. Very Little Downtime Is Required After Treatment
The quick recovery time associated with CoolPeel treatments is one of the biggest advantages they have over other forms of laser resurfacing treatments. It usually takes a couple of weeks, possibly up to a month, to recover from traditional laser resurfacing.
However, laser resurfacing treatments like CoolPeel deliver short bursts of extremely high-energy pulses exactly where they need to go. This technology eliminates the risk of damaging the surrounding skin with residual heat, which is a common occurrence in traditional laser resurfacing.
The CoolPeel treatment gets its name from the fact that it delivers noticeable results without any damaging residual heat. As a result, there’s very little downtime and you can resume your normal daily routine after treatment is complete if you want to.
4. Results Continue to Improve
Because the CoolPeel CO2 laser treatment stimulates your body’s collagen production, you won’t see results immediately. Instead, you’ll start to notice them in the days and weeks after treatment, and they continue to improve with time.
It’s important to keep your skin clean, dry, hydrated, and well protected from the sun for the first few weeks after your treatment to ensure proper healing and achieve optimal results. You should also refrain from using any exfoliating products on your face for about a month after your CoolPeel treatment.
We will review all of the aftercare instructions with you before and after your treatment and answer any questions you may have.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
As a general rule of thumb, we typically recommend undergoing two or three treatment sessions to achieve your desired results. However, this number could look different for you, depending on what you’re hoping to treat and what level of treatment we use.
The good news is that since there’s very little downtime required after a CoolPeel session, you don’t have to wait several weeks to schedule follow-up treatments. Many people choose to undergo subsequent treatments every one to two weeks until they’re satisfied.
Am I a Good Candidate for CoolPeel?
Most women and men who are curious about CoolPeel make good candidates. In general, ideal candidates for this skin rejuvenation treatment are people who are:
- Looking to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- In good overall health
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Realistic about their expectations
It’s also important that you’ve never had a negative reaction to laser treatments in the past.
If you think you may be a good candidate for a CoolPeel treatment, you should consult with one of our experts to confirm that this laser treatment is right for you.
