CoolTouch II |

|
Cool Touch facial rejuvenation was designed to combat the effects of aging in a softer, gentler way. It uses a revolutionary process that delivers the laser energy through your skin's surface to gently stimulate the production of collagen while protecting the outer layer of your skin. The new collagen softens the appearance of aging skin. These precise treatments are made possible by an advanced, computer-controlled CoolTouch handpiece that delivers a unique cooling spray just before the laser energy is applied.
CoolTouch facial rejuvenation is so gentle that there is no interruption to your normal life. No tissue is removed. There is no oozing or crusting. Bandages are not required. Your skin gradually rebuilds from the inside and restores a more youthful appearance to your face.
This laser can be used in conjunction with other superficial treatments that target the epidermis. For example, this treatment can be done at the same time as microdermabrasion, glycolic peels, or laser treatments for broken blood vessels.
Every patient is different. Many see results after the second or third treatment. Treatments are normally spaced four to six weeks apart in the beginning, then eight to twelve weeks in a maintenance program. Your program will last as long as you would like to retard the effects of aging or postpone a more agressive treatment such as laser resurfacing or a facelift.
