At Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery, we are always seeking the latest and greatest technology for our patients. With this in mind, we are excited to introduce the addition of Tetra Co2 CoolPeel, a new state-of-the-art skin resurfacing laser, now available at our Hyannis office. We are the only practice on the Cape & Islands to offer this innovative and noninvasive laser treatment that improves skin texture, minimizes pores, diminishes age spots and reduces fine lines, with minimal downtime. As soon as we are able to return to our normal business hours, we encourage you to set up a consult to learn more about how CoolPeel can help you achieve younger-looking skin and a healthy glow! In the meantime, we have put together a Q&A to explain what CoolPeel can do for you.
What is CoolPeel?
CoolPeel is a noninvasive laser facial that improves skin tone, eliminates fine lines, minimizes age spots, treats sun damage and reduces pore size. During the process, damaged skin is removed, revealing younger and healthier-looking skin. CoolPeel also helps reduce the appearance of surgical scars and helps soften acne scars.
How does the CoolPeel Treatment work?
A CoolPeel laser facial can only be done using the SmartXide Tetra Co2 laser, which delivers high energy in extremely short pulses. The treatment produces impressive skin resurfacing results without the lingering heat that would traditionally damage the surrounding skin. The lack of unnecessary heat is why cool is in the title—it’s how you get an immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.
Who is a Good Candidate for CoolPeel?
Anyone seeking to improve the appearance of aged and sun-damaged skin. The target audience is a wide range—from 30 to 60 years and older. The younger generation might be interested in minimizing pores; the person in their mid-40s may desire better skin tone and to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and those in the 60 and over group may be most interested in removing age spots with little downtime.
How long does a CoolPeel take?
A full-face CoolPeel laser facial can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes.
What is the recovery time?
Minimal downtime. You should expect to be a little red after treatment, as if you have a sunburn, for a day or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities. While traditional Co2 laser methods require a longer recovery time, CoolPeel’s new technology and the three-stage process takes you to the same result without disrupting your life due to recovery time.
How many treatments are recommended?
A series of three to four treatments, approximately six to eight weeks apart.
