I have been obsessed with the results from CoolPeel since I saw the incredible results my clients were returning with! Of course I had to try it on myself and I believe this treatment has given me more of a result than any other treatment I have tried. I’ve been itching to have another treatment once laser season started again because my last result was SO good! In this blog, I’ll tell you more about this treatment and help answer some FAQs!

How does CoolPeel work?

With advanced CO2 technology, damaged skin is removed while new collagen is stimulated from the delivery of heat energy. This leads to tightening of the skin, improvement in texture and tone, minimized pores, and improvement in sun damage.

 CoolPeel is neither “cool” nor a “peel”. The name comes from the fact that the amount of CO2 energy (heat) used is delivered at a precise depth and speed without the lingering and excessive heat of traditional CO2 treatments. The removal of the outer layer of skin gives superficial resurfacing without causing the “sheet peel” effect of a traditional chemical peel. This allows for incredible results without the long downtime that typical CO2 lasers cause.

What can I expect during a treatment?

Prior to the treatment, numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort. During the treatment you will wear protective eye goggles. The treatment takes about 10- 15 minutes and you should be very comfortable during the treatment with the possibility of a light “zing” sensation near the jaw and hairline. After the treatment the skin will begin to feel hot for a few minutes and you will have a special fan to help cool you off.

What kind of downtime should I expect?

CoolPeel is often marketed as a “no-downtime” procedure, however in my experience you should plan on about 2-3 days with swelling and redness. The microscopic dots where the laser entered can feel dry and rough for about 5-7 days until they all come off and reveal the fresh new skin underneath. I highly recommend using the aftercare kit from NOON which was designed by the laser company for this specific treatment. This helps your recovery go much easier and faster! Of course, everyone’s reaction time is different and your experience could be longer or shorter than these averages.

Who is a good candidate for CoolPeel?

Clients wishing to improve their skin texture, pore size, and fine lines are ideal for CoolPeel! There is improvement in superficial sun damage as well. If a client has significant sun spots, I may recommend a BBL treatment first to better address the sun damage. For clients with significant skin laxity who are seeking skin tightening, the full DEKA CO2 treatment may be a better choice. As always, I recommend an in person consultation with me prior to scheduling your treatment so we can ensure we pick the best procedure to reach your goals!

How many treatments will I need?

With each treatment, you will build more collagen and elastin. For best results, 3 CoolPeel treatments spaced 4 weeks apart are recommended. Because these results are regenerative, they do not “wear off” but you will continue to have your normal aging process. Some clients enjoy completing a CoolPeel series every year to maintain their result and continually improve their skin.

What are your clients saying about CoolPeel?

“I highly recommend the CoolPeel laser treatment at Even Esthetics!! My skin feels smooth & rejuvenated after even one treatment. I hardly wear any makeup anymore because I love the appearance of my skin since the treatment! The down time was minimal - I spent the first 2 days swollen but not unrecognizable & by day 3 the natural shedding was so satisfying because the baby fresh skin underneath looked radiant & supple! Can’t wait to see how much more I can reverse with a couple more treatments!” -Heather
