What is the Cool Peel? Dr. J.M.– The Cool Peel is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that improves your skin without surgery. Using a state-of-the-art CO2 laser, this procedure reduces expression lines, sun spots, and minimizes pores, leaving your skin looking fresher and more radiant. This is because it renews the skin by removing dead cells and stimulating the growth of healthier, more radiant tissue. This treatment is ideal for any skin type, whether you want to reduce the signs of aging or prevent them from appearing. The best part is that the results are almost immediate and the recovery time is super short—less than a day! How does the CO2 Laser work? Dr. J.M.– Many times when we hear laser, we think it’s all the same, but the truth is that there are several types of lasers depending on the source that produces them. The CO2 Laser, as its name indicates, is produced using this element, CO2 or carbon dioxide, as a source, producing a laser that has the H2O (water) molecule as its target, turning it into an ablative laser, which evaporates tissue that contains water. It is used, initially, to cut or evaporate benign skin lesions and, later with specific parameters, to improve the quality of the skin, calling this treatment Facial Resurfacing. Traditional facial resurfacing uses controlled thermal damage to perform cutaneous biostimulation to improve skin quality. This includes treating fine or mild wrinkles, tightening pores, managing acne scars, or lightening blemishes.
