A CO2 Laser Treatment just became a lot cooler.
CO2 lasers are the gold standard for treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes, as well as tightening skin and balancing tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production as heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin. Depending on the depth of treatment, CO2 treatments can be accompanied by considerable downtime while damaged skin heals.
What sets the Tetra PRO apart from other CO2 lasers is the ability to customize the intensity, depth, and shape of laser energy to maximize results while minimizing unnecessary downtime.
About CoolPeel
CO2 Laser
What is a CoolPeel treatment?
Only Tetra PRO has the precision and control to deliver energy at the right depth and speed for superficial skin resurfacing results without the lingering heat that would traditionally damage the surrounding skin. The lack of unnecessary heat is where CoolPeel gets its name and why you get an immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.
Who is a candidate for CoolPeel?
You are a good candidate for a CoolPeel laser treatment if you are looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, minimize pores, and improve skin texture. If you have more laxity, extensive sun damage, pigmentation, or deeper scars and wrinkles, Tetra PRO has the capability to customize your treatment, including for darker skin types.
What to expect?
With a CoolPeel, while often unnecessary, your provider may offer numbing cream or cold air for comfort. A full-face CoolPeel can take between 5 - 15 minutes. A more intense, ablative CO2 treatment can take longer and require additional analgesics.
After your CoolPeel, your skin may be red and warm for a day or two. You can resume normal daily activities during this time. As your skin heals, it may feel dry and scaly, so it’s important to keep it hydrated.
