COOLaser Rejuve Skin Treatment

It is a skin resurfacing treatment (BEVERLY HILLS COOLASER SKIN TREATMENT) introduced first at PARISA SKIN COSMETIC & LASER CENTRE in Chandigarh, India. It uses a dual mode, high definition Fractionated laser to improve the appearance of the skin. Unlike non-laser treatments, it targets deeper layers of skin, stimulates skin cell repair and collagen remodelling.

Mechanism
  • Laser energy in ablative fractional lasers is fractionated either optically (by subdividing the conventional bulk laser beam into many microscopic beams) or through the scanner.
  • This pixelated form of energy passes vertically downward into the skin as microscopic channels and is absorbed by target chromophore water in the tissue (epidermis and dermis), to generate heat, which then thermally damages or destroys it.
  • Multiple vertical microscopic three-dimensional small columns of coagulated and necrotic tissue are created and are referred to as microthermal or microscopic treatment zones (MTZs).
  • Each MTZ is substantially surrounded by undamaged skin. Thus, only a fraction of the skin is exposed to light (photo) to thermally damage or destroy (thermolysis) small treatment zone and hence, named Fractional Photothermolysis (FP).
  • The MTZs induce a wound healing response consisting of rapid eipthelialization, tissue repair through neocollagenesis, and dermal remodelling from the surrounding viable tissue.

  • Preparation for the laser.
  • The parameters of the laser are set.
  • Technique The laser is set in desired mode and its parameters are set to moderate-to-high density of MTZ/cm2 along with high energy in a small circular or square geometrical shape. This can be repeated once or twice if required.
    • Postoperative Management

      Total sun avoidance for 5-10 days and sun restriction for the next 1-2 weeks. Patient is instructed to use broad-spectrum sunscreens every 2 hours once the crust falls and reepithelialization is completed (5-7 days).

    • Proper skin care
      • Antibiotic creams & other serums are prescribed by our dermatologist to be used immediately after the procedure for the first 5-10 days till flakes or crusts are gone. Frequent face washing is recommended which should be followed by the application of antibacterial ointment suggested by the dermatologist. Reepithelialization process starts and is usually completed in 5-10 days.
