Soft Era

HydraFacial + Coolpeel

Enter your “Soft Era.” This treatment pairs the deep-cleaning power of the HydraFacial with the surface-polishing magic of the CoolPeel CO2. It is the ultimate texture reset for those who don’t want the heavy downtime of aggressive lasers. We start by using the HydraFacial to vacuum out pores and flood the skin with hydration. Once the canvas is perfectly clean, we perform a CoolPeel to gently vaporize the top layer of dull skin. The result? Your pores look non-existent, your skin feels like velvet, and your makeup sits flawlessly.

  • Stop Actives: Discontinue Retin-A, Retinol, and strong exfoliating acids 5 days prior. We need your skin barrier intact before we laser it.

  • No Sun: Even though CoolPeel is gentle, it is still a CO2 laser. We cannot treat sunburned or deeply tanned skin. Avoid direct sun for 2 weeks prior.

  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water. Hydrated skin responds better to both the extraction and the laser energy.

  • Step 1: The Cleanse (HydraFacial): We start with the HydraFacial to deep clean. We exfoliate dead cells and use the vacuum suction to painlessly extract blackheads and congestion.

  • Step 2: The Prep: We dry the skin thoroughly to prepare it for the laser.

  • Step 3: The Polish (CoolPeel): We glide the CO2 laser over the face. You will feel a warm, “prickly” sensation (like static electricity) as it targets the superficial layer to tighten pores and smooth texture.

  • Comfort: Because CoolPeel delivers energy in ultra-short pulses, heat doesn’t build up, making it very tolerable without heavy numbing.

  • Day 1 (Pink): You will leave looking pink to red, like a mild sunburn. Your skin will feel dry and tight.

  • Day 2–3 (Sandpaper): The redness will fade, and your skin will feel rough, like fine sandpaper. This is the microscopic dead skin getting ready to shed.

  • Day 4 (The Softness): The roughness sloughs away (often imperceptibly), revealing fresh, baby-soft skin with a significant “glow.”

  • No Makeup: Wait 24 hours before applying makeup. Your pores are open and healing.

  • Hydrate: Use a gentle moisturizer or Hyaluronic Acid serum frequently. Your skin will soak it up instantly.

  • Sun Protection: SPF 50+ is mandatory. Your fresh skin is vulnerable to UV damage.

  • No Sweat: Avoid heavy workouts or saunas for 24 hours.

FAQ

The HydraFacial ensures the pores are empty and the skin is hydrated before we seal the deal with the laser. The CoolPeel then tightens the pore structure itself. It’s the difference between just mopping the floor vs. mopping and waxing it.

It’s called “CoolPeel,” but you won’t see sheets of skin falling off like a traditional snake peel. It is a “micro-peel.” You will mostly feel a rough texture that flakes off when you wash your face. It is very social-friendly.

HydraFacial is painless. CoolPeel is “spicy” but very fast. Most clients rate it a 3/10 on the pain scale. We use a cold air chiller to keep you comfortable.

Yes, but give yourself a buffer. Do it 5–7 days before the big event so the “sandpaper” phase has passed and you are left with the peak glow.

Anyone feeling “dull.” If your skin looks tired, your pores look large, or your makeup looks cakey, the Soft Era is the perfect reset button.
