CoolPeel®: CO2 Laser Without the Downtime

CoolPeel® is a new way to safely and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment. By targeting just the superficial layer of skin tissue, damaged skin is removed, revealing younger and healthier looking skin. Best of all, CoolPeel® offers dramatic results with minimal downtime.

There are many types of safe laser aesthetic treatments available today, but some require considerable downtime. We have been providing safe, effective laser skin resurfacing for our clients for more than 15 years. CoolPeel®, which is performed with the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser, is a game changer.

This laser delivers its energy in very short pulses to resurface skin where it’s needed without sending additional heat where it’s not. Because no surrounding skin is damaged, you won’t need to plan for downtime or recovery, which is unlike traditional CO2 laser treatments.

Because CoolPeel®’s laser targets only specific areas, discomfort and heat are minimized. Most patients tolerate CoolPeel better than other laser resurfacing treatments.

CoolPeel® is a CO2 laser, which is an ablative laser that removes the thin outer layers of the skin. Not only does ablating the surface skin remove damaged and blemished skin cells, the process also stimulates new collagen production as your body’s healing capabilities naturally kick in. Additionally, the CoolPeel® treatment delivers heat energy, which tightens the skin.

Taken together, these actions resurface your skin to leave you with a smoother tone and texture, skin that is firmer, and pores that appear smaller. Best of all, these results require minimal downtime.

The number of CoolPeel® treatments will depend on the condition of your skin and results you want to achieve. Typically, we recommend a series of three treatments to provide overall improvement to skin tone, texture, and tightness. These treatments may be spaced a month apart or longer, depending on your individual needs.

Lack of downtime is one of the top benefits of choosing a CoolPeel® laser skin resurfacing treatment! Following treatment, you may be red like a you have sunburn for a day or two. It’s nothing that would keep you out of the public eye, and you can wear makeup and continue with your normal skincare routine. During the next couple of weeks, as your skin heals, it may be dry or scaly, so you will want to keep it extra hydrated.

CoolPeel® treatments are quick! We begin by applying a topical numbing cream for comfort. Then a full-face treatment may take just 15 minutes.

About a week after your CoolPeel® treatment, you will notice results. Your old outer layer of skin will begin to slough off and take some of your sun damage, age spots, and wrinkles with it. During this time, collagen production will be in high gear, and you will see continual improvement during the weeks following treatment.

You are a good candidate for a CoolPeel® laser treatment if you are looking to reduces the appearance of fine lines and sun damage, minimize pores and improve skin texture while investing minimal downtime. Your skin will look healthier and younger.
