CoolPeel: How We Resurface Skin Without Burning It

The smartest way to renew skin without compromising your barrier.

Laser treatments have a reputation (and for good reason). They work. But they also hurt. They peel, crust, burn, and take you offline for a week.

CoolPeel was designed to change that: it gives you the power of a CO2 laser without the intense downtime. And it’s one of the few treatments that resurfaces your skin at a deep level while still protecting the barrier.

This post will go over: how it works, what it treats, and why CoolPeel is one of the smartest skin investments you can make.

What Is CoolPeel?

CoolPeel is a next-generation CO2 laser treatment that resurfaces the skin with high precision, removing damaged surface layers and stimulating collagen production underneath.

But unlike traditional CO2 lasers, which use continuous heat that spreads and damages surrounding tissue, CoolPeel uses ultra-short, high-energy pulses to treat tiny microzones of skin. This “fractional ablative” approach delivers results without the inflammation and prolonged healing.

That means:

• Less heat → less trauma

• Less trauma → less inflammation

• Less inflammation → faster healing and fewer risks

The Technology: What Makes It “Cool”

CoolPeel is powered by the Tetra CO2 laser, which allows us to control thermal injury with extreme precision. Traditional CO2 lasers vaporize skin across a broad area, leading to redness, peeling, and extensive barrier disruption. CoolPeel’s unique short-pulse energy ablates the skin’s surface without building residual heat, which means you still get collagen stimulation and exfoliation, without the burn, crusting, or 10-day recovery.

CoolPeel helps improve acne scarring by resurfacing damaged skin and triggering new collagen production without the harsh downtime of traditional lasers.

It’s still ablative. But it’s smarter.

What CoolPeel Treats

CoolPeel is ideal for:

• Fine lines and crepey texture

• Enlarged pores and roughness

• Sun damage and uneven tone

• Early laxity and dullness

• Acne scarring and pigment irregularities

• Skin that needs a “reset” without downtime

Treatment areas include:

• Full face

• Neck

• Chest

• Around the eyes

• Hands

What Skin Types Is CoolPeel Safe For?

CoolPeel is generally safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I–III, and may be cautiously used in well-selected Type IV clients with appropriate prep and post-care.

Because it uses less heat than traditional lasers, the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is lower—but still possible in melanin-rich skin. We evaluate your:

• Fitzpatrick type

• Barrier health

• Pigment history

• And inflammatory risk profile during your consultation

For deeper skin tones or those prone to PIH, we may recommend alternate treatments or pair CoolPeel with pigment-suppressing skincare.

The Science of Results: How It Rebuilds Skin

CoolPeel creates micro-controlled injuries in the skin that trigger:

• Collagen and elastin production

• Accelerated cell turnover

• Smoother surface texture

• Faded pigmentation and acne scars

• Reduced pore visibility

• Improved barrier function over time

It also preserves parts of the skin between treatment zones, which helps the skin heal faster, with less inflammation and downtime.

How Many CoolPeel Treatments Do You Need?

It depends on your skin and your goals:

Results build over time, with initial improvements visible after 1–2 weeks and full collagen remodeling continuing for 2–3 months post-treatment.

What Maintenance Looks Like

After your initial series:

• 1–2 sessions/year are typically enough for long-term collagen support and skin clarity

• We pair with custom skincare, including antioxidants, peptides, and pigment regulators

• Maintenance is easier when paired with lifestyle support (sun protection, hydration, barrier repair)

• For deeper aging or laxity concerns, CoolPeel is often rotated with Morpheus8 or biostimulators

Combining CoolPeel With Neurotoxins and Filler

CoolPeel is powerful on its own—but when paired with other modalities, the results are layered, natural, and long-lasting.

We often combine CoolPeel with:

• Neurotoxins to soften expression lines and prevent new static wrinkles

• Filler or biostimulators to restore structure and support under the skin

This approach allows us to treat:

• Surface tone + texture

• Mid-layer collagen and firmness

• Deeper structure and volume loss

Instead of chasing one concern, we address the whole face intelligently and in phases.

Final Word: Not All Lasers Are Brutal Anymore

CoolPeel changed the way we approach laser resurfacing. It gives you the results of a powerful treatment—without the burnout, barrier trauma, or “hide in your house for a week” downtime.

If you're ready to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and collagen (without compromising your barrier or your calendar) CoolPeel might be the best place to start.
