Award-winning CoolPeel™ is an innovative laser treatment designed to revitalize your skin with minimal downtime. If you’re considering CoolPeel to achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion, here are some common questions and answers to help you understand the process.
CoolPeel is a new method for safely and comfortably delivering the benefits of traditional CO₂ laser resurfacing without the extended downtime typically associated with this procedure. It uses a specialized CO₂ laser (specifically the SmartXide Tetra CO₂ laser) that delivers energy in very short, high-peak-power pulses, targeting only the superficial layer of skin. This removes damaged skin cells, revealing younger, healthier-looking skin, and stimulates the production of new collagen.
The CoolPeel laser works by creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. This controlled ablation of the outer skin layers triggers your body’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin. The unique “H-pulse” technology of the Tetra CO₂ laser minimizes heat damage to the surrounding skin, a key factor in achieving the “cool” aspect and reducing downtime.
CoolPeel is excellent for improving a variety of skin concerns, including:
Yes, CoolPeel is considered safe when performed by our trained and experienced staff. The precise control of the Tetra CO₂ laser minimizes risks typically associated with more aggressive CO₂ laser treatments.
Most patients find CoolPeel to be very tolerable with minimal discomfort. You might feel a warm, tingly sensation. Numbing is not required.
A full-face CoolPeel treatment typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes, making it a convenient “lunchtime” procedure.
The number of treatments depends on your individual skin condition and desired results. Many patients see significant improvement after just one session. However, a series of 3 treatments, spaced about a month apart, is often recommended for optimal and more comprehensive results.
One of the main benefits of CoolPeel is its minimal downtime. You can expect:
Most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment, although it’s recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24-48 hours.
You may notice initial improvements in your skin’s texture and appearance within a few days to a week as the old skin sloughs off. Full results, including improved collagen production and skin tightening, will continue to develop over several weeks and months.

CoolPeel is ideal for individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and sun damage (brown spots), minimize the appearance of pores and acne scars, and enhance overall skin texture with minimal downtime. It’s generally suitable for most skin types. However, you may NOT be a good candidate if you have:
For individuals with significant pigmentation, a pre-treatment plan may be recommended prior to your CoolPeel treatment. We’ll discuss this during your appointment.
High-precision resurfacing treatment that delivers dramatic, restorative results, often in a single session.
DEKA Pulse Treatment, on the Tetra PRO CO2 Laser, is a high-precision resurfacing treatment that delivers dramatic, restorative results, often in a single session. Unlike less aggressive laser treatments, DEKA penetrates deeper into the skin to address more significant concerns, providing complete structural remodeling of the dermis.
While both treatments use advanced CO₂ technology, the modalities vary in their thermal impact and depth. CoolPeel™ uses high-peak-power, short pulses to vaporize the skin surface with minimal heat transfer—hence the name “Cool” peel. The high-peak-power precision allows for faster, 2–3-day minimal downtime while targeting fine lines, wrinkles, pore size, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and skin texture. DEKA utilizes a specialized pulse shape designed to deliver controlled thermal energy deep into the dermis. The deep heat triggers a powerful tightening and structural remodeling effect that addresses more severe wrinkles and laxity, requiring a 14-day recovery period to achieve profound results.
The DEKA Pulse Treatment is designed for high-impact rejuvenation. It is particularly effective for:
The DEKA treatment delivers high thermal energy to achieve its results and is generally best suited for patients with lighter skin tones (typically Fitzpatrick Skin Types I–III). Those with darker skin tones have pigment-producing cells that are highly sensitive to heat; the high thermal energy can trigger an aggressive inflammatory response, leading to dark spots or “blotchiness” during healing. We will determine your specific skin type and safety profile during an evaluation appointment.
Patients with a history of cold sores, please notify us during your appointment so we can provide a prophylactic antiviral prescription to ensure a safe recovery.
The DEKA Pulse Treatment is designed to provide significant, restorative results in a single session. For many patients, one treatment is sufficient to achieve their goals. However, the exact number depends on the depth of your skin concerns and how your skin responds to the remodeling process.
Patients with severe sun damage, deep-set acne scarring, or advanced skin laxity may benefit from an additional session to reach their final goal. Because it takes time for your skin to produce new collagen and fully remodel the dermis, we typically wait at least 6 months before assessing the need for a follow-up treatment. Your customized plan will be outlined during your evaluation appointment.
Because DEKA is a deeper resurfacing treatment, the recovery process requires a dedicated 14-day window. During this period, patients should expect redness, swelling, and shedding as the skin undergoes its natural renewal process.
The skin needs time to shed and rebuild physically following a DEKA Pulse session. Patients should plan their social and work calendar around these milestones:
The DEKA treatment removes the outer layers of the skin, leaving new tissue highly sensitive to environmental factors. To ensure proper healing and avoid infection, we highly recommend the Hydrinity Post-Treatment Kit, which includes the Hyacyn Active Purifying Mist, Restorative HA Serum, Prelude Facial Cleanser, DermaQuest SPF 30, and two Restorative HA+ Masques.
The DEKA Pulse Treatment is a powerful tool for those seeking significant results without a series of appointments. The ideal candidate is someone who:
The DEKA Pulse Treatment requires the application of a high-strength topical numbing cream approximately 60 minutes before the appointment. While the laser delivers deep thermal energy, the numbing process significantly reduces the sensation. If you choose to purchase the Hydrinity Kit, we highly recommend applying the Restorative HA+ Masque at the end of your session to hydrate, moisturize, and instantly soothe and cool your skin. Following treatment, the skin will feel like a deep sunburn for several hours; the Restorative HA+ Masque helps manage this initial heat sensation.
Everesse is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. It offers a comfortable experience with no downtime and no numbing required, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more youthful appearance.
Everesse is a non-invasive treatment designed to lift, tighten, and volumize the skin. It utilizes advanced monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to safely and comfortably deliver thermal energy deep into the skin’s layers, stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.
The Everesse system utilizes monopolar radiofrequency energy. This RF energy creates a controlled heating effect in the deeper dermal layers of your skin. This heat immediately causes existing collagen fibers to contract, leading to an instant tightening sensation. More importantly, it stimulates your fibroblasts (cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin) to create new, healthy collagen and elastin over time. A unique continuous water-cooling system maintains the skin’s surface at a comfortable temperature throughout the treatment, enabling optimal energy delivery to the deeper tissues.
Everesse is excellent for improving a variety of skin concerns, including:
Yes, Everesse is considered safe and is FDA-cleared. Its continuous water-cooling system enhances patient safety by protecting the skin’s surface while allowing effective heating of the deeper tissues. It is also safe for all skin types and tones.
Most patients find Everesse treatments to be very comfortable, often comparing the sensation to a warm, relaxing massage. Thanks to its continuous water-cooling system, numbing cream is not required, setting it apart from many other RF treatments.
Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated, but a full face and neck treatment typically takes between 20 and 30 minutes, making it a convenient option for busy schedules.
The number of treatments depends on your skin condition and desired results. While some patients see noticeable improvements after just one session, a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal and longer-lasting results. On average, patients receive two treatments spaced one month apart as part of their initial plan.
One of the significant advantages of Everesse is that there is virtually no downtime. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. You might experience some mild redness or swelling in the treated area, but this is normal and typically resolves within a few hours.
Many patients report an immediate lifting and tightening effect in the treated areas right after their Everesse session due to the initial collagen contraction. However, the most significant and long-lasting results, driven by new collagen and elastin production, will continue to develop over several weeks and months, typically reaching their peak around three to six months after your treatment.
Please read the following document for complete, detailed instructions.
Everesse can be beneficial for almost any patient seeking non-invasive skin lifting, tightening, and volumizing, whether as a preventive measure or to address existing signs of aging. It is safe for all skin types. It’s ideal for individuals who are not ready for surgical procedures but desire noticeable improvements in skin laxity and overall facial contours. However, you may NOT be a good candidate if you have:
