CoolPeel® CO2 Laser
Looking for a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment without the downtime of traditional lasers? The CoolPeel® CO₂ Laser offers impressive anti-aging benefits with minimal recovery time. Below, we answer the most common questions patients ask about this revolutionary technology.
What is the CoolPeel CO2 Laser?
CoolPeel® is a fractional CO₂ laser treatment that delivers the skin-resurfacing benefits of traditional CO₂ lasers without the lengthy downtime. It uses a gentler approach to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulate collagen production, and reveal a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion.
What skin issues does CoolPeel treat?
CoolPeel is ideal for improving:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Acne scars
- Dull or rough skin
It’s primarily used on the face, but can also treat the neck, chest, and hands.
How is CoolPeel different from traditional CO2 lasers?
Traditional CO₂ laser treatments are very effective but often come with a week or more of downtime due to deeper, more aggressive skin ablation. CoolPeel uses Tetra CO₂ laser technology to deliver controlled, superficial energy—providing similar results without the redness, peeling, and extended recovery associated with older CO₂ systems.
Does the treatment hurt?
CoolPeel is well-tolerated by most patients. Since the energy delivery is more controlled and superficial, it’s much more comfortable than traditional CO₂ treatments. We may apply a light topical anesthetic before the session to maximize comfort.
How long does the procedure take?
The treatment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. It’s a fast, in-office procedure that can even fit into a busy schedule.
What will I look like afterward?
Immediately after the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red—similar to a mild sunburn. This usually fades within 1–2 days. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, there's no need for messy ointments or downtime, and most patients return to normal activities the next day.
When will I see results?
Some patients notice a brighter complexion within a week, but the best results appear gradually as new collagen forms. Over the following weeks, you'll see continued improvements in skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve their goals with 3 treatments spaced about a month apart, but this can vary based on your individual skin condition and goals. We'll help you build a treatment plan that works for you.
Is CoolPeel safe for all skin types?
CoolPeel is best suited for lighter to medium skin tones. If you have a darker complexion, we’ll evaluate your skin during the consultation and may recommend alternative treatments that better suit your skin type.
Am I a good candidate?
If you want to refresh your skin, reduce signs of aging, or improve texture and tone—without the downtime of traditional laser resurfacing—CoolPeel could be a great fit. It's perfect for people with busy lifestyles who still want dramatic results.
