Your visit · CO2 laser skin resurfacing
CoolPeel®
A light CO2 laser pass for tone and texture, with very little downtime.
We're looking forward to meeting you. Here's everything to know before you come in.
How it works
The short version.
CoolPeel® is a light CO2 laser treatment for the surface of the skin: tone, texture and fine lines. It is usually planned as a series, and your physician sets the depth and spacing for your skin at the consultation.
Warm, like a mild sunburn afterwards.
Pink and warm the same day; makeup is generally fine the next day.
Your appointment
What happens, step by step.
- 01A physician consultation first
Every first visit starts with a physician. They look at what you came in about, go through your history, and tell you honestly what will and will not help before anything happens.
- 02Your skin, your plan
Your physician looks at your skin type and history, including pigment risk, and decides whether CoolPeel® is the right choice and how deep to go.
- 03The treatment
Numbing cream first, then the laser pass. You go home the same day.
- 04Aftercare before you leave
Your provider gives you your own aftercare instructions at the end of the visit, and you can call us with any question afterwards.
Before you come in
A few small things.
- Avoid tanning and strong sun for two weeks before.
- Stop retinoids and exfoliating products before your visit; we will confirm how long.
- Tell us if you get cold sores, so we can plan for it.

"I went in for a Botox consultation and left feeling so well taken care of. They walked me through my options, explained that I actually didn't need Botox yet, and suggested other treatments that better fit my goals."

Questions
Asked before you.
Is it right for darker skin?
Any laser treatment carries some pigment risk, which is higher in deeper skin tones. It is not an automatic no; your physician decides the safest approach with you, in person.
How many sessions?
Usually planned as a series. Your physician sets the number and spacing for your skin.
