CoolPeel in Honolulu, HI

CoolPeel is a multifaceted laser treatment to improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and hyperpigmentation. It is designed to provide CO2 laser-like results but without excessive downtime and discomfort. Dr. Shim Ching in Honolulu, Hawaii, is proud to offer patients access to this cutting-edge technology for achieving a more youthful, attractive appearance.ro

What Is CoolPeel?

CoolPeel is an advanced skincare system that relies on a CO2 laser to eradicate the outermost layer of damaged cells, restoring a healthier new complexion with a high degree of precision. However, it differs from conventional CO2 laser technology in that CoolPeel requires significantly less downtime. It delivers brief but powerful pulses of laser energy without creating unwanted superficial damage.

How Does CoolPeel Work?

CoolPeel’s innovative laser technology uses a fractional approach to delicately ablate the skin’s outermost layer, eradicating cellular damage while simultaneously stimulating the production of new collagen in the dermis. The dual rejuvenation mechanism promotes long-term skin suppleness and resilience that radiates from within. CoolPeel provides optimal control of the laser skin resurfacing process, resulting in a safer and more comfortable treatment journey.

What Are the Different Treatment Options With CoolPeel?

At the Asia Pacific Plastic Surgery, Inc. Medspa, we perform three distinct CoolPeel treatments to maximize youthfulness, vitality, and confidence.

CoolPeel – The traditional CoolPeel treatment addresses wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, and poor skin tone and texture while encouraging the replenishment of collagen for a firmer complexion. Your session is performed by our skilled estheticians and injectors and can be paired with Morpheus8 for more comprehensive improvement of acne scars.
CoolPeel with SmartPulse – This powerful variation on CoolPeel technology allows for independent pulsing, which results in deeper, more customized resurfacing. It can address scarring and sun damage with greater efficacy and longer-lasting results. CoolPeel with SmartPulse is performed by our skilled injectors Rita, Chloe, and Brittney.
CoolPeel Full Field Ablation – This version of CoolPeel is only performed by Dr. Ching himself under anesthesia, providing patients with the deepest and most intense resurfacing process possible. It is ideal for those seeking dramatic, age-defying changes that enhance quality of life and lead to a more positive self-image.

Who Is a Good Candidate for CoolPeel?

Ideal candidates for CoolPeel in Honolulu, Hawaii, are healthy individuals who seek to improve the appearance of wrinkles, lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. The procedure is suitable for all skin types and can be used to treat the face, neck, hands, and décolletage. Our team will provide a thorough consultation process to ensure that CoolPeel is the best and safest approach for meeting your cosmetic goals.

What Should I Expect During a CoolPeel Session?

Prior to undergoing CoolPeel, your skin will be cleansed and coated with a topical numbing agent to ensure your comfort. The intensity of your treatment can also be adjusted to your comfort levels. The CoolPeel device will then be passed over the treatment area, emitting short laser pulses to ablate the outer damaged skin layer. While not painful, CoolPeel can feel like a rubber band being snapped against the skin. The device’s built-in cooling mechanism helps to ease any discomfort. Sessions usually last around 15-30 minutes depending on the size and location of the targeted regions.

After CoolPeel

After your treatment, it is normal to see slight redness akin to a mild sunburn. This side effect typically fades within a few hours or by the end of the day. Your skin will gradually begin to peel, which is a natural process that occurs as healthy cells replace damaged ones. You will need to follow our team’s aftercare instructions, being diligent about moisturizing your skin and protecting yourself from the sun’s harmful UV rays. We will be in close contact to ensure your healing process progresses smoothly and to answer any questions that may arise during recovery.
