What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
At AestheticFX Med Spa, laser skin resurfacing is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure using the advanced Tetra CO2 CoolPeel technology to remove damaged outer skin layers. We proudly serve men and women from Little Elm, Prosper, and McKinney, TX, who want to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.
Also called a laser peel, this treatment helps reveal softer, clearer, and more youthful skin. The procedure is tailored to your skin’s specific needs. Thanks to CoolPeel’s innovative design, discomfort and downtime are minimal compared to traditional laser resurfacing treatments.
If you have any questions, Frisco’s dual-certified nurse practitioner Beverly Farris is available for a personal consultation at our Med Spa.
Ideal Candidates for Laser Skin Resurfacing
The Tetra CO2 CoolPeel laser is effective for a wide variety of skin concerns and can be customized based on your skin type and needs. Many men and women can safely benefit from this treatment. However, those with darker skin tones might face risks such as hyperpigmentation or discoloration, which can sometimes be permanent.
Individuals with active acne, infections, or those who are pregnant should postpone treatment. If CO2 laser resurfacing isn’t suitable for you, our experienced team will suggest alternative therapies to help you achieve a clearer, healthier complexion.
How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
The Tetra CO2 CoolPeel is a fractional ablative laser ideal for treating deep wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and pigmentation problems. Topical anesthetic is usually applied to numb the skin before treatment. The laser targets and removes damaged cells while stimulating collagen production. CoolPeel technology ensures a minimal heat sensation during the procedure.
After treatment, you may experience mild redness that typically fades within a few days. Peeling usually lasts 3–7 days, with full healing taking a few weeks. You can resume daily activities right away but should avoid picking at your skin to prevent scarring. Once healed, your skin will look smoother, clearer, and rejuvenated.
Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQ
What is the best type of resurfacing for me?
During your consultation, we will help determine the most suitable laser resurfacing option based on your skin condition, concerns, and desired treatment depth. Recovery time preferences will also be considered. If unsure, starting with a gentler treatment is recommended, with adjustments for future sessions.
How can I support my skin’s recovery after resurfacing?
We provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing, emphasizing avoiding picking or peeling the treated skin to prevent damage. All hair removal methods on the treated area should be avoided during recovery. Soothing ointments may be recommended to aid the healing process.
How often should I have laser resurfacing treatments?
Treatment frequency depends on the chosen resurfacing type. Deeper treatments offer longer-lasting results but require more recovery time. We’ll work with you to create a personalized plan that fits your schedule and goals.
