Your skin carries your story—sunlit summers, laughter, challenges, and evolution. But when fine lines, sunspots, redness, or uneven texture begin to dull your reflection, it’s time to rediscover your glow.
At Tomorrow’s Wellness Center in Northfield, NJ, Dr. Hernberg and his team have pioneered a holistic approach to lasting radiance—combining the advanced Lumenis M22 IPL with DEKA CoolPeel fractional CO₂ technology for transformative skin rejuvenation.
This powerful pairing harmonizes pigment correction, vascular clarity, and texture refinement while stimulating deep collagen renewal. The result? Skin that looks younger, feels smoother, and radiates health.
The Foundations: M22 IPL + CoolPeel CO₂ — What They Are, Why They Matter
The Elegance of M22 IPL (with OPT™)
The Lumenis M22 isn’t just another light-based device. Using Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™), it delivers precise pulses of light to target melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (redness) while gently warming the dermis to stimulate collagen production.
Dr. Hernberg customizes every treatment—selecting filters, pulse durations, and intensities to suit your unique skin type. Whether your goal is to reduce sunspots, calm redness, or restore luminosity, M22 IPL offers noticeable improvements with little to no downtime.
The Precision of DEKA CoolPeel CO₂
The CoolPeel™ laser, powered by the DEKA SmartXide platform, modernizes CO₂ resurfacing. Using ultra-short, high-peak pulses, it precisely removes micro-layers of damaged skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact—accelerating healing and minimizing risk.
CoolPeel refines fine lines, reduces pore size, evens tone, and boosts collagen and elastin production—all with far less downtime than traditional CO₂ lasers.
Why the Combo Delivers More Than the Sum of Its Parts
Think of your skin as a multi-layer canvas—each layer responding to different stimuli. M22 IPL addresses surface tone and redness, while CoolPeel penetrates deeper to refine texture and stimulate renewal.
Together, they provide results that surpass either treatment alone:
- IPL clears discoloration and redness while initiating gentle collagen remodeling.
- CoolPeel smooths texture, softens lines, and boosts elasticity.
- The synergy delivers brighter, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
Better Energy Penetration and Consistency
Performing IPL first helps “pre-clear” pigment and redness, allowing CoolPeel energy to distribute more evenly. The outcome: improved precision, uniform healing, and longer-lasting results.
Amplified Collagen and Elastin Response
Both modalities activate fibroblasts—the skin’s collagen factories. IPL provides gentle photothermal stimulation, while CoolPeel induces controlled micro-thermal remodeling. The result is visible improvement in tone, firmness, and bounce.
Enhanced Results with Balanced Downtime
This dual-modality approach allows for transformative rejuvenation without the extended recovery typical of deep resurfacing. Patients enjoy meaningful improvements without missing weeks of daily life.
