What are the benefits of CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 lasers are the gold standard in treating:

  • Wrinkles
  • Age spots
  • Acne scars
  • And other blemishes
  • Skin tightening skin
  • Balancing tone

Damaged skin tissue is removed or ablated, stimulating new collagen production, and heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin. Sounds great, but CO2 treatments are often accompanied by considerable downtime and risk while damaged skin heals. Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of CO2 laser treatments, but only CoolPeel can deliver a fractional ablative treatment without downtime. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation, or induced infection.

The SmartXide Tetra CO2 offers unparalleled control, surpassing other CO2 devices. Whether your patients seek a minimal downtime CoolPeel®, treatment for delicate eye areas, or deeper ablation for wrinkles and scars, the Tetra laser ensures unmatched precision for addressing acne scars, wrinkles, dark spots, sun spots, and more.

What is unique at Greco Dermatology with the SmartXTide CoolPeel?


Dr. Greco has written multiple book chapters and conducted national lectures on the advantages of combining laser resurfacing technology with various therapies to attain enhanced and optimized results. Incorporating growth factors, anti-inflammatory proteins, and regenerative treatments optimizes treatment outcomes, expedites healing, and reduces downtime. At Greco Dermatology, we possess the capability to integrate CoolPeel technology with the following:

Oxygen Amplified Therapy (OATH™)

A crucial component of Signature CoolPeel treatments is Oxygen Amplified Therapy (OATH™). Oxygen levels decrease with age, contributing to skin damage and aging. OATH™ enhances metabolically active cells, promoting tissue regeneration, collagen synthesis, skin hydration, and healing. Delivering concentrated oxygen and nutrients through OATH™ optimizes CoolPeel laser resurfacing results.

Growth Factors

Both the Golden LaserPeel and Platinum LaserPeel incorporate elevated concentrations of your own growth factors to provide a revitalizing boost to the treatment. Growth factors activate stem cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, stimulating regenerative processes that result in vibrant, smooth, and healthier skin.

Anti-Inflammatory Proteins

Essential components of both the Golden LaserPeel and Platinum LaserPeel, these anti-inflammatory proteins work by counteracting harmful inflammation associated with premature aging. This inflammatory inhibition restores a harmonious and natural environment, facilitating wound healing.

Exosomes & Cytosomes

Exosomes and cytosomes, minute yet potent regenerative transport vesicles, are enriched with concentrated growth factors, proteins, anti-inflammatory molecules, and cellular signals. These components trigger neighboring cells into biological activity, optimizing the regenerative effects of our most potent CoolPeel treatment, the Platinum LaserPeel.

Collagen Mask

A soothing collagen mask is promptly applied during your post-treatment cooling phase to hydrate the skin and alleviate redness and discomfort. The heightened collagen levels contribute to skin healing, supporting tissue repair and regeneration. This calming procedure serves as an excellent conclusion to your resurfacing experience at Greco Dermatology.
