How Does CoolPeel Work?
CoolPeel uses very brief laser pulses to deliver ablation without intense heat. The ‘Cool’ in CoolPeel refers to the fact that it does not create thermal damage to the skin.
CoolPeel is a CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser treatment, using the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser from renowned manufacturer DEKA, to create tiny openings within the skin surface. These openings stimulate your body’s natural healing reaction, stimulating collagen growth, and restoring a smooth, new surface.
Advantages of CoolPeel
- Controlled Ablation: CoolPeel utilizes a high-speed Deka Tetra CO2 laser for precise ablation on the skin’s surface. This allows for more targeted and efficient treatment while decreasing the risk of collateral tissue damage.
- Reduced Downtime: CoolPeel treatments are designed to minimize downtime and discomfort. Most patients can resume their daily activities within a few days with minimal redness or swelling.
- Customizable Treatments: CoolPeel provides customizable treatments to address specific skin concerns, like fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, or texture problems.
Traditional CO2 Laser Treatments
- Ablative treatments: These procedures remove the outer layers of skin, stimulating new cell growth and collagen production. They are very effective. Unfortunately, they come with significant downtime, discomfort, and potential risks such as hyperpigmentation, scarring, or infection.
- Fractional treatments: These procedures create microscopic columns of injury in the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. While this reduces downtime and side effects, multiple treatment sessions may still be needed for optimal results.

What Can I Expect After CoolPeel?

These symptoms should fade quickly. After CoolPeel, it is important not to apply makeup or touch your face for at least 24 hours. CoolPeel can cause some mild peeling, usually lasting for 2-3 days.

CoolPeel vs CO2 Laser
CoolPeel is gaining popularity as an effective and safe treatment that delivers the skin tightening and rejuvenation benefits of traditional CO2 skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime or discomfort. The main distinction between CoolPeel and traditional CO2 laser treatments lies in how they deliver laser energy into the skin. Only the superficial skin layer is targeted, and the damaged skin is removed, leaving healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
Benefits of CoolPeel.
- CoolPeel is much more comfortable and downtime friendly.
- Most patients notice a difference in their skin within a matter of days. They report softer, tighter skin, with a more even tone.
- Patients don’t need to wait weeks for results.
- Immediately enjoy the benefits and get back to your daily activities.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
We recommend a series of three treatments, four weeks apart. Maintenance one to two times a year can keep your results fresh for longer.
What is the Recovery Time for CoolPeel?
CoolPeel’s main benefit is its minimal downtime. For the first few days, patients should avoid the sun and give their skin some time to heal. Most patients feel a sensation like a slight sunburn and can expect some redness. Some people may also experience dry, scaly patches on their skin as they heal. The recovery process is quick and you can return to your normal activities in a matter of days.
Summary
CoolPeel provides a more comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional CO2 laser treatments, offering similar rejuvenation benefits with reduced downtime and side effects. Individual results and suitability for treatment may vary, so it’s essential to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine the most suitable approach for your specific skin issues.
