Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment

Laser skin resurfacing is a precision cosmetic procedure that removes the damaged outer layer of the skin with controlled beams of light. After recovery from the procedure is completed, the skin is visibly smoother, more supple, and radiant. This treatment is an excellent option for improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles, reducing or removing minor acne scars and age spots, tightening the skin, improving skin tone, and removal of warts.

For best results, it is important to consider the following:

the ideal time for treatment (usually during the fall and winter months to minimize sun exposure) and a commitment to wearing sunblock to protect the skin
the best type of laser for your skin type
scheduling enough downtime based on the depth of the treatment (any benefits from the procedure can be reversed if proper healing is compromised by insufficient downtime)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - tetra co2 laser

HOW DOES TETRA WORK?

The Tetra CO2 removes top layers of damaged skin tissue and stimulates the regeneration of healthy skin underneath. Tetra is a CO2 laser - a proven laser technology for treating deeper facial lines, age spots, scarring, and textural irregularities. New collagen is formed and elastin is tightened for long-lasting benefits.
WHAT MAKES THE TETRA LASER SO SPECIAL?

The Tetra is amongst the newest and most advanced CO2 technologies available. It features more operating settings so providers can better customize the intensity, depth, and shape of the laser energy. This unmatched versatility means treatments are even and more precise, optimizing results and minimizing side effects and unnecessary downtime.
WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR A TETRA TREATMENT?

With Tetra, your provider can customize your treatment to your skin's exact needs. The Tetra can deliver either an intense treatment to reverse deeper lines and wrinkles, with a week or two of social downtime or a lighter Cool Peel™ laser peel treatment to refresh the skin with little to no downtime.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Results and downtime depend on your individual treatment. You should talk to your physician to understand when you will see your desired outcomes and how much downtime you should expect.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - coolpeeL™

HOW DOES COOLPEEL WORK?

A CoolPeel laser treatment can only be done using the Tetra CO2 laser. Only the Tetra 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. This lack of unnecessary heat is where it gets its name and why you get an immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.
HOW LONG DOES A COOLPEEL TAKE?

A full-face CoolPeel laser peel can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes. Areas like the décolleté and hands may take less time.
IS ANESTHESIA OR NUMBING REQUIRED?

While there is no need for anesthesia or localized numbing, your provider may use cold air or a numbing cream for additional comfort.
WHAT IS MY RECOVERY TIME?

One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel is that there is minimal downtime. You should expect to be a little red, as if you have a sunburn, for a day or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities. Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals so it is important to keep the skin hydrated.
WHEN CAN I RETURN TO MY SKINCARE ROUTINE?

After your CoolPeel treatment, it is important to keep your skin hydrated and there may be certain products you should avoid. Talk to your provider about the best post-treatment care and when you can return to your daily skincare regimen.
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 and sun damage, minimize pores and improve skin texture. Your skin will look healthier and younger, whether you treat your face, décolleté, or hands.
