What CoolPeel® treats

CoolPeel® is designed to support collagen production and may improve the appearance of skin tone, texture, and pores.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

CoolPeel uses advanced CO₂ laser technology to precisely target and resurface the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for smoother-looking skin.

Skin Texture & Pores

By resurfacing the skin, CoolPeel refines uneven texture and minimizes appearance of enlarged pores, leaving skin visibly smoother and more polished.

Sun Damage

CoolPeel resurfaces the superficial layers of the skin and may improve the appearance of sunspots, age spots, and uneven tone.

Acne Scarring

The fractional laser treatment stimulates collagen production, helping to improve the appearance of acne scars and promote overall skin renewal.

Treatable areas

- Primary: Face (especially around eyes, cheeks, forehead, mouth), neck

- Secondary: Chest, hands (in select cases)

CoolPeel is typically used to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, minimize pores, and address mild sun damage.

What to expect

Before, during and after your CoolPeel® appointment at Wise Aesthetics.

Before your treatment

Avoid Sun Exposure

Refrain from direct sun exposure and tanning (natural or artificial) for at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment.

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily.

Discontinue Certain Skincare Products

Stop using retinoids, glycolic acids, salicylic acids, and other exfoliating products for 5-7 days before treatment.

Avoid Vitamin C serums for 2-3 days before the treatment.

No Recent Skin Treatments

Avoid other skin treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser treatments on the target area for 2 weeks prior.

Hydrate

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

Clean Skin

Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid applying lotions, oils, or skincare products on the day of treatment.

Discuss Medical History

Inform your provider of any skin conditions, allergies, or recent treatments, and notify them if you are on any medications that may affect your skin.

During your treatment

Preparation

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and protective goggles may be provided to shield your eyes from the laser.

The CoolPeel Treatment

The advanced CO2 laser delivers precise, controlled energy to the skin's surface, targeting fine lines, texture issues, and sun damage.

CoolPeel delivers energy in short pulses that limit heat in the surrounding skin, which typically means a shorter recovery.

The treatment is typically quick, lasting about 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Sensation

You may feel mild warmth or a prickling sensation during the treatment, but it is generally well-tolerated without the need for numbing cream.

After your treatment

Protect Your Skin

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks after treatment.

Hydrate and Moisturize

Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin well-nourished as it heals.

Avoid Irritants

Refrain from using retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh skincare products for 5-7 days post-treatment.

No Heat or Sweating

Avoid saunas, hot showers, vigorous exercise, or any activity that causes excessive sweating for 48 hours.

Do Not Pick or Scrub

Mild redness and dryness are normal; let your skin heal naturally without scrubbing or picking at peeling areas.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to support your skin's healing process and collagen production.

Expected results

Initial Results

After the redness subsides (typically within 1-3 days), many clients notice skin that looks smoother and brighter.

Is CoolPeel® right for you?

Your provider reviews your medical history and discusses risks and alternatives with you before recommending treatment.

Who may not be a candidate

This treatment is not suitable for everyone. Tell your provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have had recent sun exposure or a tan, have an active skin infection, cold sore or rash in the area, have a history of keloid scarring, have used isotretinoin, or take medication that makes your skin sensitive to light. Your provider will review your medical history, medications and skin type before recommending treatment.

Risks and side effects

Every laser treatment carries risk. Common effects include redness, swelling, warmth, dryness, a rough or bronzed texture and flaking as the skin renews. Less common effects include changes in skin color, which can be darker or lighter than the surrounding skin, reactivation of cold sores, breakouts, infection, blistering, burns and scarring. The risk of color change is higher in deeper skin tones and with sun exposure before or after treatment. Your provider will go through the risks that apply to you and answer your questions before you decide.
