Ageing, acne scars, sun damage – patients come to aesthetic professionals looking for solutions that work. They want smoother skin, improved texture, and a fresher appearance without excessive downtime. The Cool Laser delivers precisely that.
As a prominent player in medical laser technology, Asclepion has developed some of the most advanced Erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) laser systems available today. The Dermablate Cool Laser is one of the most effective skin resurfacing laser devices, offering high precision, minimal thermal damage, and faster healing compared to traditional CO2 lasers.
Understanding Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure that improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity by removing damaged outer layers and stimulating collagen production. The process helps reduce wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation irregularities, giving the skin a smoother, younger appearance.
While CO2 lasers have been widely used for resurfacing, they come with longer recovery times and greater discomfort due to higher thermal damage. The Cool Laser, powered by Er:YAG technology, provides a superior alternative by vaporising damaged tissue with extreme precision and less heat, leading to faster recovery and reduced risk of complications.
Why Erbium:YAG Technology?
The 2940 nm wavelength of the Er:YAG laser is highly absorbed by water in the skin, allowing for precise ablation of tissue without excessive heat spread. Less heat means:
- Faster healing times
- Less pain and discomfort
- Lower risk of pigmentation changes
- Greater safety across various skin types
This makes the Cool Laser an ideal choice for patients looking for effective as well as minimally invasive skin resurfacing.
How the Dermablate Cool Laser Works
The Dermablate Cool Laser is a highly adaptable system that can be adjusted for both ablative and fractional treatments, allowing practitioners to customise procedures based on patient needs.
Two Treatment Modes
- Full Ablation: Removes the outermost layer of skin, ideal for deep wrinkles, acne scars, and sun-damaged areas.
- Fractional Ablation: Targets microscopic zones, leaving surrounding skin untouched for quicker recovery and natural regeneration.
With six specialised handpieces and adjustable pulse durations (100-1500μs), the Dermablate provides incomparable precision. Whether treating fine lines around the eyes or deep textural scars, it delivers consistent, reliable results.
Who Can Benefit from Cool Laser Skin Resurfacing?
The Cool Laser is suitable for individuals seeking to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and textural irregularities
- Pigmentation concerns (sun spots, uneven tone)
- Skin laxity (collagen stimulation for firmer skin)
- Rough texture, enlarged pores
Unlike CO2 lasers, which can pose risks for darker skin tones, the Cool Laser is safe for a wider range of complexions, making it an excellent option for diverse patient populations.
Advantages of the Cool Laser
Let’s explore why the cool laser stands out as the superior choice.
1. Faster Healing & Minimal Downtime
CO2 lasers create deep thermal damage, leading to prolonged redness and peeling. The Cool Laser removes damaged skin layers with minimal heat, allowing for faster recovery and less discomfort.
2. Comfortable for Patients
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild warming feeling. Topical numbing cream is typically sufficient, and the treatment is well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
3. Precision
With adjustable pulse energy and duration, practitioners can customise each treatment to address specific concerns, whether treating mild sun damage or deep-set scars.
4. Multiple Applications
Beyond aesthetics, the Cool Laser is also effective for medical dermatology, treating:
- Seborrheic keratosis
- Warts and verrucas
- Skin tags and benign lesions
- Actinic keratosis
Its multifunctional capabilities make it an indispensable tool in aesthetic and dermatological practices.
5. Streamlined Process
An integrated smoke evacuator for a cleaner environment and an ultra-sharp LCD touchscreen for easy navigation and precise control.
What Patients Can Expect
Results from Cool Laser skin resurfacing are visible within days. Patients typically experience:
- Smoother, firmer skin
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Evened-out skin tone
- Noticeable improvement in scars and texture
Full results develop over several weeks as collagen production increases. While some patients achieve their goals in a single session, others may require two or three treatments for optimal results.
The Science Behind Cool Laser Technology
The Cool Laser is effective due to its ability to precisely target and remove damaged skin layers without causing excessive heat buildup. Traditional resurfacing lasers often generate substantial thermal energy, which leads to longer recovery times and discomfort. In contrast, the Erbium:YAG laser operates at a wavelength optimised for gentle yet powerful skin renewal.
The water content of the skin absorbs the laser energy through a process known as photothermal ablation, which enables the ultra-fine removal of imperfections while preserving surrounding tissue. This technique triggers the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin while reducing inflammation.
What Your Patients Can Expect During a Cool Laser Treatment
Patients undergoing a Cool Laser session can anticipate a simple, painless treatment that requires little planning. Upon arrival, their skin is examined to choose the most suitable treatment depth and intensity.
A numbing agent is applied to ensure comfort, and once the laser is activated, it works in short, controlled pulses to resurface the skin layer by layer. The process usually takes less than an hour, and the sensation is often described as a gentle tingling or warm prickle.
Unlike harsher laser treatments that require prolonged recovery, most patients will notice only mild redness and a slight tightness immediately afterwards—both signs that the skin’s renewal process has started.
Post-Treatment Recovery
Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. However, compared to CO2 laser patients who experience weeks of healing, most patients recover within 7 days.
To enhance healing, patients are advised to:
- Moisturise regularly to keep the skin hydrated
- Apply SPF 50+ to protect new skin from UV damage
- Avoid makeup for a few days to allow the skin to breathe
Most patients can resume normal activities quickly, making it a convenient resurfacing option.
