CoolPeel® Laser Treatments in Charlotte, NC

Skin resurfacing with CoolPeel laser technology at Voci Plastic Surgery is a nonsurgical aesthetic treatment that uses C02 laser energy to exfoliate dead and damaged skin layers. The procedure is used for reducing facial lines and wrinkles and for diminishing skin flaws, such as acne scars, pigmentation, and more. Sometimes referred to as a laser peel, laser skin resurfacing with CoolPeel is considered a great facial treatment for people who want softer, clearer, youthful-looking skin. Depending on the condition of the patient's skin type, the treatment will be adjusted accordingly. There is little downtime required with CoolPeel, making it ideal for many of our Charlotte, NC patients. Any concerns or questions may be discussed with Dr. Vincent Voci and his aesthetic team during the initial consultation.

Prior to your laser resurfacing session, you may be asked to use a retinoid product for 2 – 3 weeks before your laser procedure. This helps prepare the skin for more effective results. With CoolPeel, if necessary, a topical anesthetic may be used to numb certain areas where the laser will target. Throughout the procedure, you can relax in our special treatment chair while the laser handpiece passes over the skin, directly targeting the needed surfaces for resurfacing. You may feel the heat of the laser, followed by cold air from the built-in cooling system. The laser is designed to remove damaged and dead skin cells while also stimulating natural collagen production, and the entire treatment process only takes about 5 – 15 minutes.

The benefit of CoolPeel laser technology is that there is no serious downtime associated with the treatment. Your skin may appear pink or sunburned for a few days. Every patient should minimize their sun exposure after their laser session and use sun protection frequently. For all laser treatments, the treated skin will naturally flake, crust, and peel away. It's crucial to avoid picking at the skin during the healing process to keep from scarring and to protect the treated area from sun exposure. After the peeling is finished, the treated skin should feel softer while appearing clearer, younger, and rejuvenated.
