What is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

The SmartXide CO2 CoolPeel laser offers a highly versatile and precise method for delivering the benefits of traditional CO2 resurfacing in a safe and comfortable way. Medical professionals customize Tetra CO2 laser treatments by adjusting power, density, and pulse duration to meet each patient’s needs. This laser specifically targets the superficial layers of damaged skin, revealing younger, healthier skin underneath, while minimizing downtime with carefully controlled procedures. Tetra CO2 with CoolPeel applications effectively treat a range of concerns, including sun damage, brown spots, fine lines, uneven skin tone, scars, wrinkles, and more.

How Does CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

The CO2 laser emits short, concentrated beams of light that precisely target and vaporize the outer layers of the skin. This process stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness. As new skin cells form during the healing process, the treated area becomes smoother, tighter, and more evenly toned.

SmartXside Dot Therapy or CoolPeel

SmartXide Dot Therapy is an advanced CO2 laser treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance by targeting skin imperfections with precision. The therapy uses fractional laser technology, creating tiny microscopic dots on the skin’s surface while leaving surrounding areas untouched. This stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen production and promoting the regeneration of new, healthy skin cells. It is an effective treatment for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and other signs of aging, offering significant results with minimal downtime compared to traditional CO2 lasers.

CoolPeel is a variation of the SmartXide Dot Therapy that delivers the benefits of CO2 laser resurfacing without the extended downtime. It is a gentler treatment that uses a controlled energy delivery system to remove the damaged top layer of skin without excessive heat, reducing redness, swelling, and recovery time. CoolPeel is ideal for those looking to improve skin texture and reduce signs of aging with minimal disruption to their daily routine. Both treatments are customizable to each patient’s needs and can provide remarkable results with proper aftercare.

Is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Right for You?

30s to Early 40s

For individuals in their mid-30s, CO2 laser treatment, particularly Cool Peel resurfacing, offers significant benefits in addressing common skin concerns that arise during this stage of life. This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for reducing the appearance of fine lines, smoothing uneven skin texture, and targeting early signs of sun damage. 

40s to Early 50s

CO2 laser resurfacing can significantly reduce moderate wrinkles, deeper lines, and improve skin laxity, helping to restore a firmer, smoother complexion. Many patients in this age group may benefit from transitioning from CoolPeel to SmartXide Dot therapy, which offers deeper, more targeted results to rejuvenate their skin and achieve a more youthful appearance.

50s and older

SmartXide CO2 laser therapy offers a powerful solution for addressing deeper wrinkles, severe sun damage, and age spots. This advanced treatment is designed to not only improve the appearance of these more prominent signs of aging but also tighten the skin, helping to restore a firmer, smoother, and more youthful complexion.

Growth Factors that create an healing environment and support skin regeneration by activating stem cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. This leads to new cell growth in the skin, the production of collagen and elastin, the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), improved wound healing, and the repair of damaged tissue.

Anti-inflammatory signals that block the harmful inflammation associated with premature aging. Photoaging is a chronic inflammation of the skin leading to earl aging. By reducing inflammation, a more balanced and natural environment is restored, supporting wound healing.

  Extracellular matrix regeneration which serves as a crucial scaffold for tissue repair and regeneration. By releasing growth factors and proteins, PRP enhances the formation of this matrix, providing structural support for new cell growth and aiding in the healing process. This regenerative environment encourages the natural restoration of tissue, improving overall skin health and recovery.

Exosomes/Cytosomes are Tiny transport vesicles loaded with growth factors, proteins, anti-inflammatory molecules, and cellular signals activate surrounding cells, prompting biological activity.

Biocellulose Mask is applied to hydrate the skin, reduce redness, and alleviate discomfort. Increased collagen levels contribute to tissue repair and regeneration, enhancing healing. This calming step concludes the resurfacing experience.
