CoolPeel Downtime Day-by-Day: What to Expect
Thinking about CoolPeel laser treatment but worried about downtime? Here’s a quick look at what your skin goes through as it heals and renews.
Day 1: Fresh Glow and Mild Redness
Right after your treatment, your skin will look pink to red, similar to a mild sunburn. It may feel warm or tight for a few hours, which is completely normal.
✨ Pro tip: Keep your skin clean and protected. Avoid applying makeup or active products for the first 24 hours. Hydration and gentle care are key to a fast recovery.
Days 2–3: Texture Changes Begin
You may notice your skin feeling a little rough or sandpaper-like as old, damaged cells begin to shed and new skin forms underneath. This is a good sign that your skin is healing and regenerating.
🌿 Do: Keep skin moisturized and drink plenty of water.
🚫 Don’t: Exfoliate or pick at your skin—let it naturally slough off.
Days 4–6: Flaking, Tightness, and Visible Renewal
By this point, redness should be minimal and your skin may start to lightly flake or peel as it reveals a brighter, smoother surface underneath. Many patients say their skin already feels softer and more radiant at this stage.
Continue using gentle skincare and sunscreen daily. Most people feel comfortable returning to social events, workouts, or makeup around this time.
When Will You See Results?
You’ll notice an initial glow within the first week, but the real magic happens over the next 4–6 weeks as new collagen develops and your skin continues to renew from within. With a series of CoolPeel treatments, results can continue to improve for months—revealing fresher, firmer, more even-toned skin.
