Cool Peel CO2 & Deka Laser Treatments
Skin resurfacing has been around for decades. Though the results are often profound, the recovery process is not for everyone. Many people are looking for a procedure that would make them look years younger without surgery and downtime. If this is you, here's a great solution! Verdant Wellness is now offering CO2 CoolPeel™ Laser Treatment, a non-invasive cosmetic solution that will improve your skin's appearance virtually without downtime. This treatment may sound too good to be true, but let's get up to speed on what makes this laser procedure so impressive. Read on to find out its benefits and answers to the most frequently asked questions and if it could be the ideal treatment for you.
The CO2 CoolPeel™ 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.
How Does it Work?
CoolPeel™ Laser leverages fractional resurfacing technologies that have evolved. Microbeams vaporize tissue in microscopic columns by targeting only certain skin sections. As a result, healthy tissue bridges are left around each injury to speed up healing. Additionally, improved spray distribution of those micro-columns in the recovery phase results in an even, more natural-looking result.
A global leader in aesthetic technology, DEKA has released its newest and most advanced CO2 Laser, the Tetra. Only the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser can be used for CoolPeel™ Laser treatment. Its resurfacing technology provides excellent results without leaving residual thermal damage to the surrounding tissue.
In the field of cosmetic medicine, CoolPeel™ Laser skin resurfacing has become a game-changer offering all of the best of today's advanced laser technology in a single, simple, safe, and predictable procedure. The benefits you can enjoy are the following:
Targets Multiple Signs of Aging in One Treatment
If you've tried everything under the sun to reverse fine lines and wrinkles and other signs of aging but haven't seen the results you've been hoping for then CoolPeel™ is the one for you.
This treatment helps improve all of the following:
Cool Peel Laser therapy can also be performed on body parts other than the face, including the neck, decolletage, chest, arms and hands for skin rejuvenation.
Virtually No Downtime
Traditional CO2 laser downtime is longer than CoolPeel™, where patients can return to work or school right away or continue with their daily routines. It has a much smoother recovery process than any other comparable laser skin rejuvenation treatment on the market. Treatment with the CoolPeel™ Laser is an ideal alternative to other skin treatments, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion.
Minimal Risk While Skin Heals
Co2 laser peels have undergone many advances for improving side effects, but the CoolPeel™ remains one of the safest fractional ablation procedures that does not cause thermal damage to the tissue. This gives patients minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, scarring, and infection.
Customization & Flexibility
With CoolPeel™, the practitioner is entirely in charge of the level of resurfacing. The technique is equally effective for those looking for gentle corrections and those who need an aggressive approach. We can increase the intensity and depth of the Laser for patients who suffer from deeper wrinkles or sun damage for a more dramatic outcome. Thus, treatment can be tailored to meet each individual's aesthetic needs.
We offer two primary types of fractional ablation with a CO2 laser with the primary difference being how deep we perform the ablation.
The Coolpeel treatment is limited to the epidermal layer and does not reach the epidermal-dermal junction, where the melanocytes are found. Because we are limiting treatment to the epidermis, the Coolpeel can be performed on any skin type with minimal risk of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. Downtime is minimal and patients typically look like they have a sunburn with rough skin for 2-3 days.
The Deka Advanced treatment goes deeper into the dermis, beyond the epidermal-dermal junction. This treatment can only be performed on Fitzpatrick I-III patients because of the risk of PIH in patients with a higher Fitzpatrick type. Patients typically experience seeping and skin crusting for up to 10 days after more aggressive treatments.
Combines Well with Other Treatments
This laser treatment also allows for more versatility in treating skin issues. The CO2 CoolPeel™ Laser may be used as a standalone procedure, or combined with other methods, like Microneedling with PRP.
Who is a good candidate for a CoolPeel?
If you want to diminish fine lines and sun damage, clear pores, and improve skin texture, then the CoolPeel™ laser treatment is right for you.
How long does the treatment take?
The CoolPeel™ treatment itself is simple and easy to perform, taking just 5 - 15 minutes to complete. Generally, these laser treatments are completed in 3-5 sessions, scheduled 4-6 weeks apart.
How do I prepare for the laser treatment?
As part of your preparation for a CoolPeel™ treatment, take the following steps:
Don't worry. We will provide you with these key treatment preparation details when you book your appointment!
What should I expect after the treatment|?
In terms of recovery, CoolPeel™ is that downtime is minimal. 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.
Are the results long-lasting?
The long-term benefits of the CO2 CoolPeel™ Laser Treatment series without the typical downtime associated with this level of success are quite remarkable.
When can I return to my skincare routine?
Following your CoolPeel™ treatment, it is vital to keep your skin hydrated, and you willwant to refrain from using certain products until your skin is back to normal. We will provide you with post-laser skincare products, advise you on how to take care of your skin post-treatment and when to resume your regular skincare regimen.
Is treatment with lasers painful?
We strive to ensure that our patients have access to treatments without fear of intolerable discomfort.
Topical anesthetic is only needed for Deka treatments when we use more aggressive settings. Topical anesthetic is applied for 15 minutes prior to Deka treatments. This helps to desensitize the nerve endings in the epidermis and reduces sensations from laser treatments.
We use a fan during the treatment to cool the skin, cool towel application immediately post-procedure, and a post treatment serum to soothe and hydrate the skin.
Are there any side effects to laser treatments?
There are both risks and complications associated with all laser treatment procedures of the skin.
Infection: Although infection following laser skin treatment is unusual, bacterial, fungal, and viral infections can occur. Herpes simplex virus infections around the mouth or other areas of the face can occur following a more aggressive laser treatment. This applies to both individuals with a past history of Herpes simplex virus infections and individuals with no known history of Herpes simplex virus infections in the mouth area. We recommend pretreatment with valacyclovir prior to aggressive fractional ablation treatments.
Scarring: Although normal healing after the procedure is expected, abnormal scars may occur both in the skin and deeper tissues. In rare cases, keloid scars may result. To minimize the chances of scarring, it is critical that all patients follow the post-treatment instructions provided by our staff.
Burns: Laser energy can produce burns. Burns are rare yet represent the effect of heat produced within the tissues by laser energy. Additional treatment may be necessary to treat laser burns.
Redness/Swelling/Bruising: Redness (erythema) or swelling (edema) of the treated area is common and may occur. There also may be some bruising.
Color Change: During the healing process, there is a slight possibility that the treated area may become either lighter (hypopigmentation) or darker (hyperpigmentation) in color compared to the surrounding skin. This is usually temporary, but, on a rare occasion, it may be permanent.
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 a few minutes, you are all done!
