About the treatment
Traditional CO₂ lasers deliver dramatic resurfacing with a week or more of recovery. CoolPeel® changes the math: the DEKA Tetra Pro delivers fully-ablative-quality energy in ultra-short pulses, resurfacing the skin’s top layer without the lingering heat that causes long downtime.
The result: tighter-looking skin, softened fine lines, faded sun damage, and smaller-looking pores — with a recovery measured in days, not weeks.
What to expect
After numbing cream, the laser pass itself takes about 15 minutes — most guests describe warmth and light prickling. Expect redness like a sunburn for a day or two and light sandpapery texture as skin turns over. Makeup is usually fine within a couple of days.
Good to know
- Same-day return to work is typical.
- Best as a series of 1–3 treatments depending on your goals.
- Pairs beautifully with VirtueRF in the same visit — ask about the combination.
- Sun protection before and after is non-negotiable.
