Skin Rejuvenation & Resurfacing treatment at Tulua Aesthetics

— Understanding

The science
behind it.

Resurfacing remains the single most powerful aesthetic treatment we offer. Done correctly, it can take a decade off the surface of the skin in one to three sessions — smoothing fine lines, scars, sun damage and texture all at once.

Non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments in Gilbert, AZ are among the most requested services at Tulua Medspa — and for good reason. Patients across Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek and the East Valley want real, visible results without surgery, stitches or weeks away from work. Our CoolPeel CO2 laser and Aerolase Neo Elite facial deliver exactly that: deep collagen stimulation and surface renewal with minimal downtime. These are not spa facials — they are medical-grade, physician-supervised treatments calibrated to your skin type and goals. Whether you're addressing sun damage from Arizona summers, post-acne texture, early fine lines or simply want brighter, smoother skin, our skin rejuvenation treatments are designed to fit into a busy life while producing measurable, lasting change.

We carry both fractional non-ablative lasers (less downtime, more sessions) and ablative resurfacing (more downtime, dramatic single-session results). Your skin tone, history and lifestyle determine which is right for you. We never use a one-size-fits-all setting.

Recovery ranges from a 2–3 day 'sand-paper' phase for light treatments to 7–10 days of social downtime for deeper resurfacing. Results last for years and are amplified by ongoing skin care.

— Questions

Frequently
asked.

Don't see your question? Bring it to your complimentary consultation — we love the curious ones.

What is CoolPeel CO2 laser?
CoolPeel is a fully-ablative fractional CO2 laser by Deka that delivers high-energy pulses so quickly the surrounding skin stays cool — giving you the dramatic resurfacing power of a traditional CO2 laser with only 2–4 days of true downtime instead of 10–14. It treats fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, pore size and uneven texture in a single session.
How much does CoolPeel cost in Gilbert, AZ?
At Tulua Medspa: CoolPeel face $800, face + neck $1,000, hands $400. Deka CO2 perioral rhytids or eyelid tightening $700, face + neck $1,900, scar revision / AK / SK $500. Every treatment includes a $250 post-laser skincare kit.
Is CoolPeel safe for darker skin tones?
Yes — at conservative settings CoolPeel is safe through Fitzpatrick IV, and we always pre-condition the skin with tretinoin and brightening agents for 4 weeks beforehand. For Fitzpatrick V–VI we usually recommend Aerolase Neo Elite or our PRF biofiller protocol instead.
How long does CoolPeel take to heal?
Day 1–2: skin feels sunburned and slightly swollen. Day 3–5: micro-peeling like fine sandpaper. Day 6–7: fresh, glassy skin underneath. Most patients are camera-ready in 5–7 days; full collagen remodeling continues for 3 months.
How many CoolPeel sessions will I need?
1 deep CoolPeel for most patients, or a series of 3 lighter sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for sensitive skin, deeper scarring or first-time laser patients.
Does CoolPeel really work for acne scars?
Yes — CoolPeel and Deka CO2 are the gold standard for atrophic acne scars and post-acne texture. We often pair it with subcision or PRF for deeper ice-pick and boxcar scars. Most patients see 40–70% improvement after one session.
How is CoolPeel different from Fraxel or IPL?
Fraxel is non-ablative — it heats the skin but doesn't remove tissue, so results are softer and require 4–6 sessions. IPL is light-based and skin-tone restricted. CoolPeel is true ablative CO2 — it vaporizes microscopic columns of skin, which is why one session does the work of 4–6 Fraxel sessions.
Where can I get CoolPeel near me in the East Valley?
At Tulua Medspa, inside Aesthetic Studios at 3303 S Lindsay Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85297 — serving Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, Tempe, Scottsdale and the wider Phoenix East Valley. CoolPeel and Deka CO2 treatments are performed by Shantel White, DNP.
Are skin rejuvenation treatments non-invasive?
Yes — the treatments we offer at Tulua Medspa, including CoolPeel CO2 laser and Aerolase Neo Elite, are non-invasive. They work by stimulating your body's natural collagen production and resurfacing the skin without incisions, stitches or general anesthesia. Most patients experience only mild redness or a sandpaper texture for 2–5 days, making these treatments ideal for busy professionals in Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler and across the East Valley who want real results without significant downtime.
