AFYA Medical Spa, a leader in cutting-edge skincare solutions, is proud to unveil its latest innovation: the Cool Peel CO2 Laser skin resurfacing treatment. This new procedure promises a gentler approach to laser skin rejuvenation, catering to individuals seeking significant aesthetic enhancements without the invasiveness of traditional resurfacing methods.
The Tetra CO2 Laser represents a significant advancement in laser skin resurfacing, shares Erica W, a medical aesthetician at AFYA. Utilizing the unique Cool Peel setting, this method distinguishes itself by gently removing only the superficial layer of the skin.
“Our approach involves a low-energy cooling mechanism that protects the skin while minimizing discomfort and reducing common side effects like redness and swelling,” Erica explains.
This technology operates by delivering high-energy laser pulses in extremely short durations, effectively vaporizing damaged skin cells while promoting the growth of new, healthy ones. It also stimulates collagen production, which is crucial for improving skin firmness and elasticity.
The Cool Peel CO2 treatment significantly enhances the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, and other skin imperfections. Furthermore, it improves the overall texture and tone of the skin, offering a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
“Cool Peel is ideal for people of all ages and skin types who wish to improve their skin’s appearance without the downtime associated with more invasive procedures,” says Erica.
A detailed consultation is conducted prior to the treatment to tailor the procedure to each individual's specific skin needs and ensure optimal safety and effectiveness.
A typical treatment session at AFYA Medical Spa is meticulously designed for comfort and efficacy, said Toni K, another medical aesthetician for AFYA. It begins with a thorough skin assessment, followed by cleansing the skin and an application of a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. The actual laser treatment takes about 20-30 minutes, focusing on one section at a time to ensure precision.
“The process is not only quick but also meticulously conducted to ensure safety and achieve the best results,” Toni notes.
Following the procedure, the team provides comprehensive post-care instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery.
After undergoing the CO2 laser treatment, clients are advised to use gentle skincare products and avoid direct sun exposure to protect the newly treated skin.
“Post-treatment care is relatively simple and critical for ensuring the longevity of the results,” Toni adds.
Clients may experience minor redness and swelling for a few days post-treatment, typical of any laser treatment, but these effects subside quickly, revealing smoother, clearer skin.
AFYA Medical Spa prioritizes client safety above all. The spa follows rigorous protocols, including pre-treatment consultations, detailed care instructions, proper ocular protection for the client, and adherence to strict sanitation standards. The results of the CO2 laser treatment are long-lasting, with benefits visible for three to five years. Toni recommends annual maintenance treatments to prolong these effects.
While the CO2 laser treatment is already receiving excellent feedback, AFYA is committed to continuous innovation. “Our goal is to remain at the forefront of medical aesthetics by regularly introducing new and improved treatments that align with our vision of providing luxury and quality,” Erica reveals.
