Okay, first things first. Congratulations on completing your CO2 laser treatment! Say goodbye to wrinkles, age-spots, and dull skin and say hello to tighter, younger, and healthier looking skin! If you are wondering what to expect after a CO2 and COOLPEEL treatment, keep following along to learn more!
COOLPEEL
-One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel, is that there is minimal downtime. You should expect to be a little red, as if you have a sunburn, for a day or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities. Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals so it is important to keep the skin hydrated.
- Patient should feel a warm/sunburn sensation for about an hour post treatment.
- A thin layer of Phyto Mask will be applied directly post treatment.
- Keep the area hydrated with a light layer of Aquaphor for the first 24 hours. Do not let the skin dry out.
- After 24 hours, begin using Epidermal Repair twice daily or more for hydration. Do this for one week or until skin feels normal.
- Sleep with a clean pillowcase and head slightly elevated.
- Avoid sun exposure, intense workouts, and sweating for at least a week.
- Avoid touching or cleaning the area for 24 hours.
- Skin should feel rough like sandpaper for 3-4 days post treatment.
- Mineral makeup can be applied 24-48 hours post treatment.
- A cool misting spray of water only may be used for comfort, if needed.
- CoolPeel can be repeated on a monthly basis until desired results are achieved.
- It is best recommended to leave your skin without any makeup for at least 24 hours. You can then utilize mineral makeup to ensure you maintain clear pores and allowing your skin to breathe and heal properly over time.
