CoolPeel

CoolPeel is an advanced laser treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines, sun damage and pores. It also improves skin texture with little to no downtime.  As the treatment is delivered, the old and damaged skin is removed and collagen production is stimulated, leaving you with more youthful looking skin.  While downtime is minimal, your skin does need a few days to heal and how you take care of your skin after treatment is very important. 

Post Treatment:

-You may feel a warm/sunburn sensation for about 2-4 hours post treatment.

-Once the feeling of heat or warmth resolves, a light, cream-based moisturizer should be used on the treated area to keep the skin hydrated (only provider approved products should be used)

-For the first 24 hours, do not use any products other than the moisturizer recommended by your treatment provider. 

-Sleep with a clean pillowcase & head slightly elevated.

-Avoid sun exposure, intense workouts and sweating for 24 hours.

-Do not expose the treated area to anything that may cause complications (dirt, pets, etc.) 

-Mineral makeup can be applied 24-48 hours post treatment.

-Skin may have a sandpaper like feel for 4-7 days post treatment.  Do not use any exfoliants or other products/procedures to remove the texture.

-Once the sandpaper texture is gone, you can resume normal skincare routine.

-CoolPeel treatments can be repeated monthly until desired results are achieved.

-During & immediately after treatment we will use a zimmer air chiller to help remove any excess heat.

-Many patients see redness for 3-5 days or more after the treatments. Redness is expected to last longer with stronger treatments!

-To help lessen the potential for swelling, consider sleeping with the treatment area elevated 

-Swelling and a mild to moderate sunburn sensation are common after the treatments and may last 1-5 days.

-It is possible that after the second day the skin may appear as an exaggerated tan. Skin may flake during the healing process.

-Minimize exposure to pets & do not allow pet to lick the treatment area.

-Limit alcohol consumption after the treatment to help minimize the risk for additional complications like bruising.
