CoolTouch™ Laser Skin Treatment is a revolutionary way to combat the signs of aging. This non-invasive procedure reduces fine lines and wrinkles, tightens the skin, improves acne and the appearance of acne scars, smoothes stretch marks, and improves skin tone and elasticity for a healthier and more youthful look. By using an infrared laser together with a cooling process the skin is rejuvenated from the inside out. No long recovery times, just younger looking skin. It combines a cooling cryogen spray and a YAG laser to give you optimal results with the least inconvenience – and no down time. The protective cooling spray is applied to the skin, allowing the CoolTouch™ laser light to pass harmlessly through the upper layers of your skin to stimulate the cells deep below the surface that produce natural collagen. The collagen and elastin fibers continue to multiply after your treatment, and you continue to see improved results over the months ahead.

What are the potential benefits of this treatment?
The most obvious benefit is a simple relatively painless treatment for younger-looking skin. The CoolTouch™ laser treatment can be performed on any facial areas – around the eyes, mouth, cheeks, chin – with minimal discomfort. A topical anesthetic cream can be used on extra sensitive areas, so no injections are needed.
How long does treatment take and how many treatments are necessary?
The CoolTouch™ treatment is quick. An average of six or more treatments are needed to stimulate new collagen growth. We also recommend regular touch up treatments to sustain the continued growth of new collagen.
How is CoolTouch™ different from other anti-aging treatments?
The CoolTouch™ laser treatment is unlike any other skin resurfacing treatment. Your skin is not subjected to harsh chemicals or the intense after-care of CO2 and Erbium lasers. CoolTouch™ laser protects the sensitive surface layers of your skin, allowing the laser light to penetrate to a deeper level and stimulate new collagen growth.
Are my results guaranteed?
No. Most patients, as noted, will require multiple sessions and some patients may be resistant to treatment and optimal results may not include wrinkle reduction. However, according to recent histological studies and clinical research, the results of Cool Touch™ are semi-permanent and effective.
What are the possible side effects?
- Discomfort
A few people feel some discomfort during treatment. Patients typically report feeling a very short mild sting on the exposed area. In some patients this discomfort may range from moderate to minimum, but it does not last more than a few seconds. Anesthetic cream can be used for some patients.
- Redness and swelling
Immediately after the treatment, especially in sensitive areas, tissue may swell. This is a temporary condition and is not harmful. Swelling usually subsides over a couple of hours and may require application of ice.
- Fragile skin
The skin in or near the treatment area may become fragile. This area should not be rubbed as this activity could cause tearing on the skin.
