CoolPeel is a superficial resurfacing mode of the Cartessa Tetra CO2 laser. It treats surface damage and fine lines with minimal downtime, making it ideal for patients seeking quick recovery.

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?

Sessions are typically 30–60 minutes. CoolPeel® treatments can be shorter, around 10–20 minutes for targeted areas.

IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?

Topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Patients may feel warmth or mild prickling.

HOW MUCH DOWNTIME IS THERE?

Standard Tetra CO2 treatment: 1–3 days CoolPeel®: often same day to 1 day

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Initial results are visible within a week, with ongoing improvement over several weeks as collagen rebuilds.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Most patients see improvement after one session. Additional sessions may be recommended depending on skin goals.

IS CARTESSA TETRA CO2 SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

Treatment is customized per skin type. A consultation is required to determine safety and optimal settings.

WHAT AFTERCARE IS REQUIRED?

Gentle cleansing, moisturization, and strict sun protection. Your provider will give specific instructions based on your treatment.

Who performs the Botox injections?

All Botox injections at Aura Aesthetics are performed by our highly trained medical providers who specialize in cosmetic injectables.

Botox relaxes facial muscles and decreases the appearance of fine lines. It uses a purified protein called botulinum toxin to temporarily block communication between muscles and nerves.

How long do the results last?

Results typically last 3 to 4 months, though some clients may enjoy longer-lasting effects depending on metabolism and treatment area.

Most clients describe only a slight pinch or sting during treatment. Our team uses gentle techniques to keep you comfortable throughout the process.

What is the downtime after Botox?

There is no required downtime. You may experience minor redness, swelling, or tenderness that typically resolves within a few hours to a few days.

What are the possible side effects?

Temporary swelling, redness, or minor bruising can occur at injection sites. Most clients resume normal activity immediately and strenuous exercise after 24 hours.

How many units of Botox will I need?

The number of units depends on the treatment area and your facial anatomy. Common ranges include frown lines (10–25 units), forehead (12–20 units), and crow’s feet (8–15 units per side). Your provider will customize this at your appointment.

Where is Botox injected?

Botox is commonly injected between the brows, across the forehead, and around the eyes to soften lines and create a smoother, refreshed look.

Can I have a consultation over the phone?

An in-person consultation is required. Your injector will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine the correct dosage for your needs.

Results begin to appear as the skin heals, typically within a week. Continued improvement occurs over several weeks as collagen remodels. Many patients achieve visible improvement after a single session. With CoolPeel®, results are similar for surface-level concerns but with shorter recovery time.
