What Is CoolPeel?

CoolPeel is a brand new way to safely, and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment. By targeting just the superficial layer of skin tissue, damaged skin is removed revealing younger and healthier looking skin.

How does CoolPeel work?

The non-ablative Tetra CO2 laser used for CoolPeel treatment creates tiny openings in the skin, just enough to prompt your body’s healing response. In turn, your body supplies the treated area with collagen, ultimately restoring a smooth, fresh surface.

While previous generations of laser therapy worked through a similar mechanism, the Tetra CO2 laser used for CoolPeel delivers pulses of light without the other lasers’ intense heat, which lingers on your skin and causes unnecessary harm. CoolPeel works just as well as those lasers—but without the downtime.

What is Tetra CO2 laser?

A CoolPeel laser treatment can only be done using the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser. The Tetra is the latest, most advanced CO2 laser from DEKA, a global leader in aesthetic technology. Only Tetra can control its output to deliver high energy in extremely short-pulses to deliver impressive superficial, skin resurfacing results without the lingering heat that would traditionally damage the surrounding skin. The lack of unnecessary heat is why we call it cool – get it? – and how you get an immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.

What areas can be treated with CoolPeel?

CoolPeel works best for the areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, age spots, discoloration, and acne scarring. The most commonly treated areas include the face and neck, as well as the abdomen which is beneficial for tightening loose skin.

What is the difference between CoolPeel and standard CO2 laser?

CO2 lasers are the gold standard in treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes as well as tighten skin and balance tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production and heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin. Sounds great but CO2 treatments are often accompanied by considerable downtime and risk while damaged skin heals. Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of CO2 treatments but ONLY the CoolPeel can deliver a fractional ablative treatment without the downtime. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation or induced infection.
