Smooths fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone by removing damaged skin.

SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser provides precision without excessive heat.

A full-face CoolPeel treatment is highly efficient, typically taking 5 to 15 minutes.

Minimal downtime; expect mild redness similar to a sunburn for one to two days.
CO2 lasers are the gold standard in treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes, as well as tightening skin and balancing tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production as heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin. Sounds great, but CO2 treatments are often accompanied by considerable downtime and risk while damaged skin heals.
Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of CO2 treatments, but ONLY the CoolPeel® can deliver a fractional ablative treatment without the downtime. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation or induced infection.
CoolPeel® is a brand-new way to safely and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment. By targeting just the superficial layer of skin tissue, damaged skin is removed, revealing younger and healthier-looking skin.
A CoolPeel® laser treatment can only be done using the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser. The Tetra is the latest, most advanced CO2 laser from DEKA, a global leader in aesthetic technology. Only Tetra can control its output to deliver high energy in extremely short pulses to deliver impressive superficial, skin resurfacing results without the lingering heat that would traditionally damage the surrounding skin. The lack of unnecessary heat is why we call it cool – get it? – and how you get an immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.

When you arrive for your CoolPeel treatment, your provider will ensure the treatment area is clean and prepared for the Tetra CO2. Because this laser focuses on the superficial layer of the skin without lingering heat damage, many patients find the process very tolerable. While there is no need for anesthesia, your provider may apply a numbing cream for additional comfort before the laser resurfacing begins. The device is moved across the skin in a fractional pattern, delivering high-energy pulses that remove damaged skin while keeping the surrounding skin protected. The entire procedure is remarkably fast, often completed in less than 15 minutes.
The CoolPeel laser may be used on the face, neck, and décolleté, restoring a clear, radiant glow across these visible areas. It is specifically designed to address:

Unlike traditional CO2 lasers, the CoolPeel treatment provides dramatic skin rejuvenation without thermal damage to surrounding tissue. You receive the same collagen-production and texture-enhancing benefits without the long recovery time.
This is also a highly versatile treatment. CoolPeel can be performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a "Dynamic Duo" with VirtueRF Microneedling. A combination approach targets both the deep and superficial layers of the skin for a deeply rejuvenated complexion. Our SmartXide Tetra CO2 is safe for various skin types and incredibly efficient, helping you maintain youthful-looking skin with ease.
This unique laser treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types, including many light to medium skin tones. It's a great option for patients who want visible results but cannot commit to the long recovery process required by older laser technologies. You should postpone treatment if you have an active skin infection or open wounds in the area. During your consultation, we will assess your skin concerns to ensure this is the most effective skin rejuvenation path for you.

One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel is that there is minimal downtime. You should expect to be a little red, as if you have a mild sunburn, for a day or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities. As the healing process begins, your skin may feel dry and have a sandpaper-like skin texture, so it is vital to keep the skin hydrated with a gentle skincare routine. We recommend using hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and avoiding harsh exfoliants or active ingredients like retinol for several days. Protection is essential, so you must apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure to protect the treated skin.

The results of your treatment emerge as your body’s natural collagen production increases. Within a week or two, you will see a rejuvenated complexion with fewer fine lines and a significantly smoother texture. Your skin will appear more vibrant, with a healthy glow that continues to improve over the next few months as new collagen rebuilds the skin’s structure. For optimal results, we may recommend a series of CoolPeel sessions to fully soften fine lines and clear away common skin concerns, leaving you with lasting, youthful skin.
