CO2 Laser: CoolPeel & Dot Therapy

You will start to see results after several weeks as the skin repairs gradually. Results will show optimally at around the three month mark as your collagen remodelling increases over time. After your initial course of treatments, we would recommend yearly maintenance of 1-2 sessions to maintain your results.

The actual treatment takes around 45 minutes, with an additional 30-45 minutes needed for the application of topical numbing cream. A consultation should be done prior to commencing treatment.

CoolPeel: Downtime for CoolPeel treatments is approximately 1-2 days. Patients experience mild-moderate redness, mild swelling, mild textural changes and some skin sensitivity after CoolPeel that will usually subside around 24 hours following your session, sometimes lasting up to a day or two. You can wear makeup the following day, with mineral makeup being the preferred option. It is important to use gentle and hydrating skincare products post-treatment, as well as Broad Spectrum SPF daily.

Dot Therapy: As a more intensive treatment, Dot Therapy will have longer downtimes. This is discussed with your practitioner in your consultation as downtime can rage from 5 days to up to a few weeks depending on the level of treatment and outcomes desired. Redness, swelling, textural changes, peeling & pigmentary changes are expected.

Depending on your skin and desired results your practitioner at Studio Aesthetica will tailor a treatment plan to you. The collagen synthesis process will increase over time and with more sessions.

You can absolutely still maintain your injectables in conjunction with CO2 Laser. We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks before and after for Antiwrinkle, and 4 weeks before or after for Dermal Filler.

Topical anaesthetic is applied to the skin 30-45 minutes before your treatment. The numbing applied will increase your comfort levels: we find our patients describe treatment as comfortable to virtually pain-free. During your treatment you will experience some light pressure to the treatment area and feel some heat.
