CoolPeel CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Precision Without the Downtime
The Tetra CO2 CoolPeel represents a massive leap forward in laser resurfacing technology for patients wanting dramatic results.
Unlike traditional CO2 lasers that require weeks of healing, this system targets only the superficial layer of skin. It provides the transformative benefits of ablative resurfacing, including wrinkle reduction and pore tightening, while keeping the skin cool and comfortable. This allows you to achieve surgical-grade skin improvement with a much faster recovery period.
High-Peak Power Pulse Technology
The CoolPeel works by delivering very short pulses of high-energy light that vaporize the top layer of dead skin. This specific pulse shape prevents heat from spreading to the surrounding tissue, which is what typically causes the long recovery times in older lasers. It creates a controlled, precision exfoliation.
By removing the damaged outer layer, the laser forces the body to create a brand-new surface. Simultaneously, the energy reaches into the dermis to stimulate a massive production of collagen. This dual action results in skin that is not only smoother on the surface but also tighter and more resilient underneath.
Candidates for the CoolPeel
This treatment is perfect for individuals who want the power of a CO2 laser but cannot afford to take time off work. It is highly effective for treating fine lines, sun damage, and enlarged pores in a single session. Most patients with light to medium skin tones are excellent candidates.
If you are noticing early signs of aging or "crepey" skin texture, this laser provides a significant refresh. It is also an excellent preventative tool for younger patients wanting to maintain their skin's structural integrity. During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin to ensure the CoolPeel is your best match.
Benefits of Tetra CO2
The CoolPeel offers a unique combination of intensity and comfort. It provides the skin-clearing results usually reserved for invasive procedures while maintaining a profile that fits into a modern, busy lifestyle without the need for prolonged hiding.
Effectively smooths out fine lines around the eyes and mouth by stimulating a surge of new, healthy collagen.
Fades stubborn sun spots and age-related pigment for a clearer and more even complexion across the entire face.
Deeply cleanses and shrinks the appearance of enlarged pores by firming the surrounding skin structure with laser energy.
Offers the results of a traditional CO2 laser with only a day or two of mild redness and dryness.
Resurfaces rough or damaged skin to reveal a soft, silk-like finish that reflects light much better for a glow.
Customizable settings allow the provider to target specific areas with extreme accuracy for the safest possible patient experience during treatment.
Any Questions?
Patients typically feel a warm, prickling sensation; a topical numbing cream is used to ensure the session is very manageable.
The CoolPeel setting has a higher safety profile than traditional CO2, but a consultation is necessary to determine candidacy for darker skin.
Yes, some advanced protocols combine these two technologies to target both the skin surface and deeper dermal layers in one session.
Yes, the precision of the Tetra laser allows for safe and effective treatment of the delicate skin around the eyes to reduce "crepey" texture.
Keeping the skin hydrated with a gentle balm and practicing strict sun avoidance are the two most critical steps for successful healing.
Many see significant improvement in 1 session, though a series of 3 treatments is often recommended for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Surface improvements are seen within a week, but the deeper collagen-building effects will continue to improve the skin for 3 to 6 months.
Most patients experience only 1 to 2 days of redness and a slightly "sandpapery" skin texture, rather than the weeks of healing required by older lasers.
It is ideal for fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture in patients who want significant results without a long recovery.
The CoolPeel delivers high-energy pulses in very short bursts, resurfacing the skin without the extreme heat damage and long downtime.
