CO2 laser treatments have long been a gold standard for skin resurfacing, but they've traditionally come with significant downtime. CoolPeel offers a gentler alternative, using the same CO2 technology in a faster, lower-downtime format.
What Is CoolPeel?
CoolPeel is a specialized CO2 laser technique that delivers energy in ultra-short pulses, minimizing heat buildup in the skin.
It's commonly used to address:
- Fine lines and early aging
- Uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
- Mild sun damage

CoolPeel vs. Traditional CO2 Laser
Downtime
CoolPeel typically involves 1–2 days of redness, compared to a week or more with traditional CO2.
Treatment Depth
Traditional CO2 penetrates deeper, making it better suited for more significant scarring or deep wrinkles.
Comfort
CoolPeel is generally more comfortable, often requiring only topical numbing.
Results Timeline
Traditional CO2 often produces more dramatic results in a single session, while CoolPeel typically requires a series for comparable improvement.
What to Expect During Treatment
Both treatments generally include:
- Topical numbing beforehand
- The laser treatment itself, typically 20–45 minutes
- Redness and mild swelling afterward
- A recommended post-care and sun protection routine
Which One Is Right for You?
CoolPeel is a great fit for patients wanting refresh with minimal disruption to their schedule. Traditional CO2 may be a better option for those with more significant texture, scarring, or aging concerns who can accommodate more downtime.
