What Is CoolPeel?
CoolPeel is an advanced CO2 laser treatment that delivers the benefits of traditional CO2 laser resurfacing without the prolonged downtime. Utilizing the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser, the CoolPeel treatment targets the superficial layer of skin, promoting collagen production and removing damaged tissue to reveal a smoother, more vibrant complexion. This non-invasive treatment stands out for its ability to provide impressive results with minimal thermal damage to the surrounding tissues.
How Does CoolPeel® Work?
The SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser works by emitting high-energy pulses that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. As new skin cells are generated, the outer damaged layer is shed, revealing healthier, rejuvenated skin beneath. The precision of the Tetra laser ensures that energy is delivered to just the right depth, minimizing heat distribution and reducing recovery time.
Customized Treatment Options
CoolPeel can be customized to address various skin concerns, making it a versatile option for different skin types and conditions. Whether you need a light touch-up or a more intensive treatment, CoolPeel can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

How to Prepare for CoolPeel Laser Treatment
Preparing for your CoolPeel treatment involves the following:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning for at least two weeks before the procedure.
Gentle Skincare Products: Discontinue using retinoids and other harsh skincare products a few days before treatment.
Hydrate: In the days before your appointment, keep your skin well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and moisturizing regularly.
Following these guidelines will help maximize the benefits of your CoolPeel treatment and reduce the risk and severity of any side effects.
What to Expect During Your CoolPeel Procedure
The CoolPeel procedure is designed to be quick and comfortable. It involves:
Preparation: We will cleanse your skin and may apply a numbing cream for additional comfort.
Treatment: The Tetra CO2 laser will be used to target the superficial layer of your skin, creating controlled micro-injuries.
Duration: A full-face treatment typically takes about 15 minutes.
Post-Treatment: After the procedure, a soothing serum or cooling mask may be applied to reduce any immediate redness.
The procedure is virtually painless, and you can expect to feel only a mild warming sensation during the treatment.
What to Expect During CoolPeel Recovery
Recovery from CoolPeel is straightforward and involves minimal downtime. Here’s a general timeline of what you can expect during your recovery:
Days One and Two: Your skin may appear red, similar to a mild sunburn. You might also experience some dryness or flakiness. To avoid letting your skin dry out, keep the area hydrated with a light layer of Aquaphor or a similar petroleum jelly product for the first 24 hours.
Days Three to Five: Redness begins to subside, and any peeling should be minimal. Your skin will start to feel smoother and more hydrated.
Days Six and Seven: Most redness will have dissipated, and your skin will continue to improve in texture and tone.
After a CoolPeel treatment, it’s crucial to keep your skin moisturized and avoid direct sun exposure. You can typically return to your regular skincare routine within a week.
