The Gold Standard of CO2 Laser Results—Without the Downtime
For decades, the CO2 laser has been the “gold standard” for treating wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars. However, it traditionally required a week or more of recovery. At Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer CoolPeel®—an innovative laser treatment that delivers the dramatic skin-resurfacing benefits of a traditional CO2 laser with virtually no downtime.
What is CoolPeel?
CoolPeel is a brand-new way to deliver the benefits of a fractional CO2 laser. By using the advanced SmartXide Tetra CO2 system, our providers can deliver high-peak power in extremely short pulses.
This prevents “residual heat” from damaging the surrounding skin. The result? You get the collagen stimulation and surface resurfacing you need without the redness, peeling, or long healing process associated with older laser technologies.
What Does CoolPeel Treat?
CoolPeel is a versatile “all-in-one” solution for patients looking to improve:
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Smoothing the texture around the eyes and mouth.
- Sun Damage: Erasing “age spots” and evening out skin tone.
- Pore Size: Minimizing enlarged pores for a “filtered” look.
- Skin Texture: Softening rough patches and acne scarring.
- Skin Laxity: Stimulating deep collagen for a natural, tightened appearance.
Why Choose SIAPS for Your CoolPeel Treatment?
Because CoolPeel is a medical-grade laser, the expertise of the provider is the most critical factor in your safety and results.
- Physician-Led Precision: Under the guidance of Dr. Jackson and Dr. Grow, our laser specialists customize the “intensity” of your CoolPeel. We can perform a light “refresh” for a younger patient or a more aggressive treatment for deeper sun damage.
- The “No-Downtime” Promise: We understand our patients lead busy lives. CoolPeel is designed to be a “Friday treatment”—you may be slightly pink over the weekend, but you’ll be back to your normal routine by Monday with a noticeable glow.
- Integrative Aesthetics: We often pair CoolPeel with Morpheus8 RF Microneedling for a “total skin transformation” that addresses both deep tissue tightening and surface refinement.
- Safety First: As a board-certified plastic surgery practice, we utilize the highest clinical standards to protect your skin and ensure your results are both beautiful and safe.
CoolPeel vs. Traditional CO2 Laser
Frequently Asked Questions
A full-face CoolPeel treatment typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes. It is a perfect "lunchtime" procedure for our Columbus and Bloomington patients.
Most patients describe the sensation as a light "tingling." Because there is no lingering heat, the discomfort is minimal. We can apply a topical numbing cream to ensure you are completely comfortable.
While you will see an improvement after a single session, we generally recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve the most dramatic results.
You can expect to be a bit pink (similar to a mild sunburn) for one to two days. Your skin may feel slightly dry or "sandpapery" for a few days after that, but you can wear mineral makeup and return to your social life almost immediately.
You will notice a brighter, smoother complexion within 10 days. However, because the laser stimulates natural collagen production, your skin will continue to improve for 3 to 6 months after your final session.
