Cool Peel
CO2 lasers are the gold standard in treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes as well as tighten skin and balance tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production and heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin. Sounds great but CO2 treatments are often accompanied by considerable downtime and risk while damaged skin heals. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation or induced infection and below is what you can expect.
Post Treatment Care:
Makeup Application Post Treatment
It is best to leave your skin without any make-up for at least 24 hours. You can then utilize a clean
applicator to apply mineral makeup to ensure you maintain clear pores, allowing your skin to breathe and heal properly over time.
Anticipated Downtime
One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel is the 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.
VI PEEL
General
Towelettes
Peeling
Post Peel
• Non-Actives: Can be resumed once peeling has subsided, usually day 6-7.
• Actives: Can be resumed once peeling has subsided and sensitivity has returned to normal, usually day 7-10.
• Refrain for 72-96 hours after peel application. Inducing excessive perspiration can lead to PIH or blistering.
• VI Peels should be scheduled every 4-6 weeks (for best results)
• It is recommended to wait for a minimum of 2 weeks before any treatment that creates exfoliation of the skin. (Includes facials, extractions, waxing, and threading)
• Consult with your practitioner for other treatment options.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal uses a laser's concentrated light to target and remove unwanted hair by damaging the hair follicles that produce it. This process inhibits future hair growth. The Cartessa Motus AZ+ uses the innovative Moveo technology, a groundbreaking development in laser hair removal, to provide a pain-free experience for all skin types, overcoming the limitations of traditional Alexandrite lasers.
