Coolifting

Coolifting is a quick, needle-free facial treatment that uses low-temperature, high-pressure technology to deliver the hydration and vitamins your skin needs without injections. It is applied in just a few minutes with a handpiece known as the beauty gun. It aims to revive dull, lifeless and tired-looking skin, soften the look of fine lines and improve overall skin quality.

What is Coolifting?

Coolifting works by spraying a very cold, high-pressure gas jet onto the skin together with a care blend containing hydrating ingredients and vitamins. The cold and the pressure help these ingredients reach the skin without needles.

After the cold, blood flow to the skin increases. This is why the skin looks plumper, fresher and more radiant right after treatment. Because it is quick and does not interrupt daily life, the method is popular with people who have busy schedules.

How is Coolifting performed?

Before the session, your skin is cleansed and the right care blend is chosen for its needs. The cold jet is then directed with the beauty gun handpiece to the areas where signs of ageing are most visible.

The application itself takes about 5 minutes; with cleansing and preparation, the session may take a little longer. During treatment you feel a cool sensation and light pressure on the skin.

Which areas and concerns does Coolifting treat?

Coolifting is used especially on areas where the effects of ageing are most noticeable: around the eyes, the forehead, the cheeks and around the lips. It targets:

• Dull, lifeless and tired-looking skin
• Superficial wrinkles and fine lines
• Softening the appearance of deeper wrinkles
• Loss of softness and radiance in the skin

It is also a good option if you want to refresh your skin quickly before a special occasion. You can find other options for the eye area on our eye contour care page.

How many sessions are needed and how long do results last?

You may notice fresher skin after a single session, but this effect is short-lived. For a more visible and longer-lasting improvement, Coolifting is planned as a course.

At our clinic a program of up to 10 sessions is usually recommended; the number and frequency of sessions vary from person to person depending on your skin. After the course, occasional maintenance sessions can help keep the effect.

How does Coolifting differ from other needle-free treatments?

Coolifting is an express treatment that stands out for its speed and cooling effect. Jetpeel, by contrast, is a more comprehensive session that combines cleansing, drainage and product infusion using a jet of liquid and air. Needle-free mesotherapy also aims to deliver care ingredients into the skin without needles.

Your doctor will decide which method suits you based on your skin's needs. For all options, see our skin care page.

Aftercare and possible side effects

There is no downtime after Coolifting, so you can go straight back to your daily routine. Brief redness, a cool feeling or slight tingling may occur and usually fade quickly. Regular use of sunscreen is recommended after treatment.

Who should not have Coolifting?

At our clinic in Etiler your skin is assessed before treatment. Coolifting is not performed, or is postponed, in the following situations:

• Active infection, cold sores or open wounds in the treatment area
• Marked sensitivity to cold (for example, cold urticaria)
• A flare-up of rosacea or eczema
• Known allergy to any ingredient in the care blend
• A recent laser treatment or chemical peel
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding (a doctor's assessment is needed)

Frequently asked questions

Is Coolifting painful?

No, it is a needle-free treatment that is generally not painful. During the session you feel a distinct coolness and light pressure on the skin, which most people find refreshing.

When can I see the effect of Coolifting?

Fresher, more radiant skin is often noticeable immediately after the first session. A longer-lasting improvement requires a course of regular sessions.

How many Coolifting sessions are needed?

At our clinic a course of up to 10 sessions is usually recommended. The number and frequency of sessions are set by the doctor according to your skin's needs and vary from person to person.

Can Coolifting replace fillers or Botox?

No. Coolifting targets the surface quality and radiance of the skin. Marked volume loss or deep expression lines need different treatments, which are assessed during your consultation.

Can I wear make-up after Coolifting?

Mild redness usually fades quickly and most people return to their routine the same day. Your doctor will tell you how long to wait before applying make-up, depending on your skin.
