Get to Know TargetCool

TargetCool is a precise CO₂ skin cooling medical device used to support comfort, calm and recovery in aesthetic treatments. It delivers controlled bursts of cooled gas to the skin at set temperatures, providing targeted cryotherapy without direct contact.

At Ocean Cosmetics in Perth, TargetCool is used in a doctor led setting to make treatments feel more comfortable and to support post procedure skin. It can help ease heat, reduce the feeling of sting or tightness, and calm visible redness after many clinical treatments.

The device offers different modes, allowing us to tailor gentle cooling or more intensive cryotherapy depending on your skin and the procedure. In some protocols it can also be used to support the delivery of selected topical cosmeceuticals into the upper layers of the skin, as part of a broader plan.

Most people describe TargetCool as a quick, comfortable add on that makes their skin journey easier. It does not replace core treatments, but it can enhance your overall experience and support the way your skin feels during and after procedures.

Treatable Concerns

Helps cool skin that feels hot or flushed after clinical treatments.

Provides soothing, targeted cryotherapy that can help reduce the feeling of inflammation in suitable cases.

Supports comfort during selected aesthetic and dermatological procedures that may otherwise feel sharp or stingy.

In some protocols, cooling may help improve the way swelling or bruising looks and feels during recovery.

In boosting mode, TargetCool may assist the penetration of certain topical skincare solutions within carefully designed protocols.

Ideal for

This treatment is ideal for people who feel anxious about discomfort during procedures or who know their skin tends to look hot, red or puffy afterwards. It suits clients who are already having clinical or device based treatments and would like added comfort and calming as part of their visit.

TargetCool is best for individuals who value a gentle, supportive approach to skin and recovery, and who want their treatment plan to feel as comfortable and manageable as possible. Suitability is always confirmed by a doctor at consultation, taking your medical history, skin type, current treatments and goals into account.

Treatment Journey

Your journey starts with a doctor led consultation. We talk through your concerns, your previous experiences with procedures and how your skin usually reacts. Your doctor explains how TargetCool works, when it may be helpful for you and how it can be integrated with your other treatments at Ocean Cosmetics.

  • You may be asked to avoid heavy occlusive products on the treatment area before your appointment.

  • Keep the skin free from open wounds, infections or cold sores on the day of treatment.

  • Let your doctor know about any circulation issues, nerve conditions or sensitivity to cold.

  • Arrive with clean skin and no makeup or fake tan on the areas we are planning to treat.

  • We will explain how TargetCool feels, which part of your visit it will be used in and how it supports your comfort and recovery.
  • A short lived feeling of coolness, numbness or mild redness can occur and usually settles quickly.

  • Your clinician will advise on when to restart your normal skincare after the combined treatment.

  • Continue with gentle cleansing, hydrating products and daily broad spectrum sunscreen as advised.

  • Avoid extreme temperature changes such as hot saunas or ice directly on the skin unless your clinician recommends otherwise.

  • Contact the clinic if you experience unusual discomfort or have concerns, and attend review appointments so we can monitor how your skin responds over time.
