LASER SKIN REJUVINATION IN CARMEL, IN
According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, CO2 Laser Resurfacing is one of the most powerful and advanced cosmetic treatments available today to reverse the signs of aging. Backed by decades of scientific research, CO2 Lasers emit an energy wavelength that is highly attracted to water in your skin. This energy ablates or destroys a very focused and specific layer of skin cells, literally in a fraction of a second. The ablated skin cells are replaced with brand new skin cells within a few weeks, and the surrounding skin cells produce new collagen and elastin in response to the nearby skin injury.
At The Look Medical Aesthetics, our lead aesthetic provider, Amanda Hill, NP, trained directly with a representative of the scientific development team at KeyLaser for 6 months to master the science behind our CoolPulse CO2 Laser Therapy System. Amanda was determined to thoroughly understand the art and science of this advanced energy-based device technology, which is a software-customized version of the FDA-cleared device KeyLaser K106.

How It Works
The CoolPulse Treatment uses a smart CO₂ laser that precisely targets the superficial layer of skin, removing specific skin cells while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This controlled micro-injury triggers your body’s natural healing process — revealing smoother, tighter, more radiant skin over time, with noticeable results appearing in 1 - 4 weeks. Because the laser delivers energy in short pulses, heat buildup is minimized, making the experience comfortable and recovery quick.

FAQs
-
Most patients do not find this treatment painful. It feels like a vibration during the procedure, and skin may feel tight and hot for an hour or so afterwards. If needed, to reduce any potential discomfort, a topical numbing agent can also be applied before the procedure. Individual experiences with pain or discomfort can vary.
-
Fractional Laser treatments usually require minimal downtime, about 2 days with mild swelling redness, swelling, tightness, and/or roughness, but this can vary from person to person. It’s important to minimize direct sun exposure for 2 days and to wear sunscreen for 1 week. Common side effects include redness, swelling, tightness, or itching, which typically resolve within a few days. To allow time for healing, it’s advisable to avoid scheduling important events for a few days post-treatment.
-
Results are generally visible around day 7, and continue to improve over 3 weeks to several months as your body makes collagen in response to the skin injury. Depending on your body’s individual collagen response, the settings used, and your aftercare practices, results can last from 6 to 24+ months. Individual results will vary, and follow-up treatments may be needed to maintain desired outcomes.
-
Common side effects thread lifts include redness, dryness, itching, swelling, very mild peeling or crusting, and tightness. These symptoms are usually mild and tend to subside within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects like infection or pigmentation issues may occur.
