CoolPeel in Swansea, IL

The CoolPeel is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that Dr. Musick and his team are proud to offer patients. It is an excellent alternative for patients who want to reduce the signs of aging without the risks of surgery.

What Is a CoolPeel?

The CoolPeel is an ablative CO2 laser that uses infrared energy to the outer layers of your skin. It can be used to reduce the appearance of sun damage, lines, wrinkles, sunspots. It safely delivers all of the benefits of traditional CO2 but without all of the risks that go along with it. Even though traditional CO2 can deliver exceptional results, the downtime associated with it can be lengthy. CoolPeel offers the same level of rejuvenation with minimal risk of infection and hyperpigmentation.

How Does CoolPeel Work?

CoolPeel is performed using the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser. The Tetra laser is one of the most advanced CO2 lasers on the market. It allows our team to control the exact output and deliver high-intensity to the treatment areas. As a result, the superficial layer of skin is resurfaced while the surrounding skin remains protected. As a result, you experience reduced redness and peeling with shorter recovery periods.

What To Expect With the CoolPeel Procedure?

During consultation, our team will examine your face to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the CoolPeel. Before photos will be taken, the effectiveness of treatment can be tracked. Before treatment day, you will need to limit sun exposure to minimize the risk of hypersensitivity. You will be given a list of medications that need to be discontinued, which include retinol and glycolic acids.

The CoolPeel procedure only takes between 10 to 15 minutes from start to finish. A topical anesthetic will be applied after your face is cleansed. Once the CoolPeel is complete, you may experience slight redness, tingling, and your skin may have a rough texture for the first few days.
