What Is CO2 CoolPeel and Deka?
These are fractional ablation laser treatments that aid skin rejuvenation by stimulating its natural healing process. The CoolPeel CO2 will target the epidermal layer of your skin without major heat damage to the surrounding tissue.
Generally, the compressed CO2 evaporates the superficial tissue of your skin to increase its healing process. Deka CO2 is more intensive than CoolPeel because the laser delivers energy deeper into the skin.
The main principle is to create numerous micro-channels throughout the skin to boost collagen and elastin production. After the natural healing process, the skin looks more natural, even-toned, and young.
What Is the Post-Treatment Care for CoolPeel and Deka CO2?
- Applying cool compresses to the treated area can help reduce swelling.
- Using a cleanser and moisturizer recommended by our specialist is beneficial.
- It might be a good idea to avoid excessive exercise, saunas, and steam baths for the first 24 hours.
- Keeping your hands off the treated skin for the first 7 days can help avoid potential infection.
- Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water supports skin recovery.
- Refraining from applying makeup for the first 24 hours can be helpful.
Who Are The Candidates For CoolPeel and Deka CO2?
If you are considering these treatments, take the following factors into account:
Skin Issues: Individuals with uneven skin tone, pigmentation, wrinkles, sagging, scars, and stretch marks are good candidates. CoolPeel typically addresses skin tone and texture, while Deka is better for more severe issues like deep wrinkles and scars.
You don’t have to have these issues on your face. These treatments can also address skin problems on areas like the legs, neck, and chin.
Age Range: CoolPeel and Deka CO2 treatments can help people of all ages. Anyone can get these treatments because they help with skin problems like wrinkles, dark spots, and rough skin. They are made to make your skin look better, no matter how old you are.
Pregnancy: We recommend avoiding these treatments during or after pregnancy. Breastfeeding mothers should also refrain from these laser procedures.
Skin Type: According to the Fitzpatrick Skin Scale, CoolPeel CO2 is suitable for skin types 1-6, but types 5 and 6 may require additional consultation. For Deka CO2, candidates are typically limited to skin types 1-3. Those with skin type 4 should consult a specialist, as darker skin has a higher risk of hyperpigmentation following these treatments.
Can These Two Treatments Be Used Together?
Yes, combining them can enhance results for skin concerns. This approach targets both deep and surface issues, offering balanced rejuvenation.
First, Deka will address deeper wrinkles and scars. Then, to sustain the benefits of the deep resurfacing, a follow-up CO2 CoolPeel will address any remaining or new surface concerns.
