Huge results, minimal downtime. Why the new CoolPeel CO2 technology is changing the skincare game.

As summer approaches and social calendars fill up with events, it’s the perfect time to not only think about your wardrobe and hairstyles but also give some TLC to your skin. We all desire healthy, youthful-looking skin, and with the holiday season around the corner, now’s the ideal time for a skin refresher.

What is CoolPeel CO2?

Meet CoolPeel CO2 Laser Treatment, our go-to choice for instant skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. The name says it all: “CoolPeel” because it rejuvenates your skin without causing thermal damage.

This cutting-edge treatment offers all the benefits of traditional laser skin resurfacing and more. It specifically targets the superficial layer of skin tissue, eliminating damaged skin to unveil a healthier, more youthful complexion beneath.

Loved by Europeans for many years, this Italian technology has finally made its way down under and Aussies are quickly falling in love.

If you’re dealing with age spots, wrinkles, acne scars, or other skin imperfections, CoolPeel might be just the solution you need. It can help you achieve smoother, clearer, firmer, brighter, and younger-looking skin in time for the holidays, and the downtime is refreshingly minimal.

How is CoolPeel different to traditional laser treatments?

The biggest difference between CoolPeel and traditional laser treatments lies in technological advancement.

CoolPeel delivers fractional ablative treatments without downtime, minimising the risk of demarcation lines, hyperpigmentation, and infection. This “cool” technology doesn’t rely on excessive heat, safeguarding the surrounding tissue.

Traditional CO2 laser resurfacing is well known as the gold standard in skin rejuvenation, offering big results in a single treatment.  However, the associated downtime and higher price point of this treatment means it is often reserved for those with deeper scarring and mature clients with heavier wrinkles.   CoolPeel goes one step further than traditional techniques, offering faster outcomes as both a standalone and preventative maintenance treatment in all ages with minimal risk and recovery time.

What are the benefits of CoolPeel CO2 Laser Treatments?

CoolPeel Laser treatments are designed to:

  • Reduce the appearance of age spots
  • Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
  • Treat acne scars
  • Address sun spots and sun damage
  • Improve skin texture and reduce imperfections

How do CoolPeel Laser Treatments work?

CoolPeel utilises the advanced DekkaCO2 Laser, a game-changer in the aesthetic industry.

This laser delivers high-energy pulses in extremely short bursts, providing remarkable superficial skin resurfacing results without the potential damage or downtime seen in traditional methods.

The best part? CoolPeel treatments are virtually painless, with a medical grade numbing cream applied before the treatment commences for a virtually painless experience.

What aftercare is involved with a CoolPeel treatment?

After a CoolPeel treatment, expect minimal downtime, usually between 1-3 days. The redness you’ll experience is similar to a sunburn and should not disrupt your daily activities. Your skin may feel a little dry and textured as it heals, so remember to keep it hydrated and avoid picking or scratching.

Traditional CO2 treatment downtime is 7-10 days, however, CoolPeel downtime is just 24 hours!

Who is suitable for a CoolPeel Treatment?

CoolPeel is suitable for most skin types and ideal for those looking to reduce fine lines, sun damage, minimize pores, treat acne scars, or enhance skin texture. The most popular CoolPeel treatment areas are the face, around the eyes, neck, decolletage and arms.

What preparation is required before a CoolPeel treatment?

Before your treatment, we’ll thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove all makeup and sunscreen. The treatment is comfortable, with an anaesthetic cream applied 15-20 minutes prior to treatment to make it virtually painless. During your consultation, any additional pre-treatment steps based on your health history or skin concerns will be discussed.

How long does a CoolPeel Treatment take?

The CoolPeel Laser Treatment takes around 15 minutes for a full face treatment, meaning you’re in and out of the office within the hour for each treatment.

A cold air blower helps with any potential discomfort during the treatment. Ice can also be used to further cool the skin and reduce potential swelling.

What post-treatment products are used?

We apply AnteAGE Exosomes, a specialised human stem cell serum, post-treatment to further improve results and reduce downtime. By combining these human growth factors and cytokines with CoolPeel, we’re able to improve skin function and further enhance cell turnover, repair and rejuvenation on a cellular level, which is critical in all anti-aging treatments.

How many CoolPeel treatments will I need?

Generally, we recommend 3-5 CoolPeel CO2 treatments, spaced about 4 weeks apart. Visible improvements are noticeable within a week of the first treatment, with the most significant results appearing within 2-3 months. This treatment plan allows for optimal healing and the production of new collagen and elastin to replace damaged tissue.

This treatment protocol still equates to less downtime than typical CO2 treatments, making it perfect for clients who are time poor or looking for a treatment they can fit into their lunch break. We’ve found that clients love to take advantage of work from home days, booking a CoolPeel and returning home to finish their work for the day.

Improving skin quality, firmness, luminosity and collagen is a marathon and not a sprint. Top up treatments once a year for maintenance or using CoolPeel in-between other treatments will further stimulate collagen production and wrinkle reduction. Remember, if we aren’t actively working on skin quality and anti-ageing, we are ageing by default!

How long does a CoolPeel Laser Treatment last?

The benefits of a CoolPeel treatment are permanent. However, as time goes on, new effects may surface, requiring maintenance treatments. Our therapists will guide you on maintaining results through a daily skincare routine. Enjoy your refreshed, youthful skin all year round!
