Frequently asked questions: 

 What is CoolPeel™CO2? 
 

The CoolPeel™ CO2 laser is a brand-new way to safely and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment. It enables your skin to rejuvenate itself rapidly by capitalizing on the body's natural healing process. We accomplish this by creating microscopic channels within the skin. These channels stimulate the growth of new collagen and elastin, which in turn improves fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin tone. In this procedure, only the removal of the surface layer of skin tissue occurs. The result is a smoother, tighter, and more youthful appearance with little to no downtime.

 What Is the Procedure Like?

No anesthesia or local numbing is required, but you may receive a numbing cream before the procedure for added comfort. A cooling device is put on your face so you can sit back and relax comfortably during your procedure. Your specialist will then use a handpiece that emits light energy that enters your skin at varying depths depending on your skin condition. After about 30-45 minutes, you are all done!

  What should I expect after treatment?

• For one or two days, you may appear a little red, as if it were sunburnt, but you should be fine to return to your routine. As your skin heals, it may feel dry and flaky, so it is essential to keep it moisturized. Individual recovery varies. For best results, a minimum of 3 treatment are recommended for long-lasting results.
