CoolPeel by Helix

CoolPeel is a fractional CO2 laser treatment that targets superficial skin imperfections without causing excessive thermal damage to the surrounding tissue. Unlike traditional CO2 lasers that can require extended downtime and healing, CoolPeel delivers laser energy in a controlled and precise manner, ensuring effective resurfacing with minimal downtime. It is an excellent option for individuals looking to refresh their skin, reduce fine lines, treat sun damage, and minimize pores. CoolPeel is a good choice for patients who want visible skin improvements without having to take significant time off from daily activities.

CoolPeel is designed to improve various skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles – Reduces the appearance of aging by stimulating collagen production.
• Sun damage and hyperpigmentation – Improves skin tone and reduces dark spots.
• Rough or dull skin texture – Resurfaces the skin for a smoother and brighter complexion.
• Enlarged pores – Minimizes the appearance of pores by refining skin texture.
• Acne scars – Helps smooth acne scars by promoting skin regeneration.
• Crepey skin – Improves skin laxity and firmness.

Because CoolPeel is gentler than traditional CO2 lasers, it is a great option for all skin types and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.

CoolPeel utilizes high-energy, short-pulsed CO2 laser technology to remove the outermost layer of damaged skin while stimulating collagen production. The laser’s controlled energy delivery ensures that the skin is not overheated, preventing excessive inflammation or long recovery periods.

Unlike older CO2 laser technologies, CoolPeel does not create significant thermal injury to the deeper layers of the skin. Instead, it precisely removes damaged skin cells, triggers natural exfoliation, and enhances collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

Patients benefit from a more comfortable procedure with minimal side effects, making it an ideal solution for skin resurfacing with a quick recovery.

The number of sessions required varies based on the patient’s skin condition and aesthetic goals.

• Many patients achieve noticeable improvement after just one treatment.
• For deeper wrinkles, acne scars, or significant sun damage, a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.
• Because CoolPeel is gentle and customizable, it can be safely repeated as needed to maintain and enhance skin health.

Dr. Zeena will assess each patient’s skin and develop a personalized treatment plan based on their specific concerns and desired outcomes.

One of the most significant advantages of CoolPeel is its minimal downtime compared to traditional laser resurfacing. Most patients experience:

• Mild redness and warmth, similar to a light sunburn, lasting 24-48 hours.
• Slight dryness or roughness as the skin naturally exfoliates over the next 3-5 days.
• Minimal swelling, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately or within a day.

Unlike aggressive CO2 treatments that require weeks of downtime, CoolPeel allows for a rapid recovery while still providing significant improvements in skin tone and texture.

Most patients notice an immediate improvement in skin texture within a few days after treatment, with continued enhancements over the next 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases. For optimal long-term results, additional treatments may be recommended.
