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.

Patient information

Patient should be well informed about the following facts:

Realistic expectation of the outcome
Postoperative sequelae, side effects, and complications.
Postoperative sun protection for 1 to 2 months.

Preoperative work

Consent and photographs.
Preoperative preparation (topical programme) is advised to minimise the chances of any adverse effects during or after the procedure. Our dermatologist Dr. Ashima Goel suggests using a broad spectrum sunscreen, and some topical creams at least 4-6 weeks before the COOLaser Rejuve Skin Treatment.
Preoperative medications (Oral & Topical): To be started 15 days before the procedure and to be continued for the next 7-10 days post treatment .
Stop shaving and removal of excess hair etc. just before COOLaser Rejuve Skin Treatment.

Procedure

Gloves and goggles
Topical anesthesia (TA): Cream applied under occlusion for 1-2 hours before the procedure.
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.
Postoperative programme consisting of sunscreens, emollients etc. is usually started after 5-10 days when the skin is completely flake free and continued for the next 2-4 weeks.

Oral medications are rarely prescribed to reduce the post laser discomfort.
No dressing on the face is needed; just the topical preparations are applied by the dermatologist.
