The Technology Behind CoolPeel

CoolPeel is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses a unique technology called CoolPeel to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. This technology is based on fractional resurfacing, which creates tiny wounds in the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing process and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

Unlike traditional laser resurfacing treatments, CoolPeel uses a unique cooling system to protect the skin from heat damage and reduce discomfort during the treatment. This cooling system allows the laser to penetrate deeper into the skin, delivering more effective results with less downtime.

CoolPeel Procedure

To prepare for your CoolPeel procedure, it is essential to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least two weeks. Additionally, any skin treatments that may irritate the skin, such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion, should be avoided. If you have a history of cold sores, Dr. Chance may recommend taking antiviral medication before the procedure. 

Before scheduling the treatment, Dr. Chance will create a personalized plan to target specific areas that require attention. During the procedure, a specialized laser will deliver short bursts of energy to create microchannels in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This generally lasts between 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

To minimize discomfort, Dr. Chance may apply a numbing cream to the skin, and patients may experience a slight warming or tingling sensation during the procedure, but it should not be painful.

Post-Procedure Care

After your CoolPeel procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, and peeling for a few days. Your provider may recommend using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and promote healing. You should also avoid sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
