If you have fine lines, age spots, or other signs of damage on your face, you might have thought about undergoing a laser skin resurfacing treatment or chemical peel. Certainly, such treatments can be effective. However, some people dislike the recovery process that comes with them. Is there a gentler alternative? Yes! Ask our Houston team about the CO2 CoolPeel Laser treatment. It uses advanced technology to facilitate fast and gentle skin resurfacing — and no extended downtime is required!
CO2 lasers have been used for years to encourage skin cell turnover. However, traditional laser treatments tend to come with considerable downtime. CoolPeel technology is changing that. This CO2 laser delivers effective treatment without causing thermal damage to nearby skin. This targeted approach delivers the fastest results possible with a minimal recovery period and little risk.
CoolPeel treatment works by delivering super short laser pulses to create controlled injuries within the skin without excessive use of heat. It also utilizes a unique spray pattern that leaves tissue bridges between injured areas, a fact that further minimizes downtime.
The CO2 CoolPeel Laser treatment might be right for you if you are dealing with issues like:
CoolPeel is not recommended for individuals who have taken Accutane in the last two months or those who have recently spent a lot of time in the sun.
When you visit our team, we will learn about your skin concerns, your goals for treatment, and your budget before we recommend the service that will best suit you.
The CoolPeel process usually takes less than 30 minutes. During your appointment, you may feel a warming sensation on your skin, but it should not be painful. After you leave our office, your skin may look a bit red (as if you have a minor sunburn) for a few days. It might also be dry, so proper hydration is important. Our team will give you detailed instructions to help you care for your skin before and after your CoolPeel treatment.
Most people start to notice results from their CoolPeel treatment within one week. However, you may continue to see improvements over the course of 90 days or so.
