Smart CO₂ Resurfacing — Glow with Confidence
Three ways to resurface (CoolPeel®, Smart Pulse, Tetra). We right‑size downtime and collagen using Emage HALO™, melanin‑safe protocols, and expert NP settings.
Who This Is For
Busy, research‑minded women 30+ who want science‑based results without gambling with melanin. You care about downtime, safety, and real‑world results.
Safety & Planning (Melanin‑Safe)
- Emage HALO™ images map pigment, pores, texture, UV damage.
- Pretreat + test spots for Fitz IV–VI and pigment‑prone clients.
- Staged combinations (e.g., RF microneedling before deeper CO₂) to reduce PIH risk.
- Protocols led by a doctorate‑prepared, double board‑certified Nurse Practitioner.
