Laser skin rejuvenation and skin tightening procedures are becoming some of the most effective non-surgical treatments for defying the aging process. Fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars can leave you looking much older than your real age, but treatments like the CoolTouch laser promise to turn back the clock. If you’re suffering from acne scars, sagging skin or have other visible signs of aging, you may be a good candidate for the CoolTouch laser skin rejuvenation treatment. Here’s a close look at the benefits of this innovative, noninvasive laser procedure:
How CoolTouch Skin Rejvuenation Works
The CoolTouch System is designed to deliver laser energy to the subdermal layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. This means there is no resurfacing or buffing away of the skin involved, so the surface of the skin will not be traumatized in any way from the laser. The treatment is especially beneficial for those who have acne, sensitive skin or rosacea, because it works from the inside out and does not aggravate the sensitive skin tissues. The results is a smoother, softer skin tone and a healthier, rejuvenated appearance.
Key Benefits of the CoolTouch Laser Rejuvenation System
Almost all skin types can benefit from the CoolTouch laser skin rejuvenation system. Some of the key benefits of this procedure include:
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
- Tightens and tones the skin
- Stops acne by shrinking the sebaceous glands
- Painless procedure
- Does not cause hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation
- Can deliver results after just a single session
The CoolTouch laser system is designed primarily for aging skin, and for individuals who want to get rid of acne scars. The treatment is considered to be the “gold standard” for wrinkle reduction and acne management, and is readily available at medical spas and cosmetic surgery centers around the country.
For acne sufferers, the biggest benefit is that the CoolTouch laser targets the source of acne, and doesn’t just kill off the bacteria. The laser energy penetrates deep into the skin to shrink the oil glands so that the skin can heal and start producing healthier cells. By stimulating skin cell and collagen production, the laser helps to rebuild the damaged tissues of acne scars, resulting in a healthier, more toned appearance.
The CoolTouch Laser can be used on all skin types, including tanned or dark skinned patients. There is no downtime involved, and the procedure does not require any bandages because no incisions are made. The skin may appear slightly red and swollen immediately after the treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Patients can expect to see result for days and weeks after a single session; in some cases, a series of treatments will be necessary to achieve desired results.
