Preparing for a CoolPeel® treatment involves a few simple steps to ensure optimal results. Avoid sun exposure and discontinue using any retinoids or exfoliating products for at least one week before the procedure. Ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup on the day of your treatment. Discuss any medications or skin concerns with your provider during the consultation to tailor the preparation to your needs.
During a CoolPeel® session, you will be comfortably seated while a numbing cream may be applied to enhance your comfort. The provider will use the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser to target the superficial layers of your skin. The procedure typically lasts between 5 and 15 minutes for a full-face treatment. You may feel a slight tingling sensation, but the process is generally well-tolerated and quick.
After your CoolPeel® treatment, you can expect some redness similar to a sunburn for a day or two. It’s important to keep your skin hydrated and avoid direct sun exposure during the healing process. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions, including which skincare products to use or avoid. With minimal downtime, most clients return to their normal activities quickly, enjoying the benefits of refreshed, youthful skin.
