Everything You Need to Know About Cool Peel

Cool peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a CO2 laser. Dr. Danny Harrison can perform your cool peel treatment and help your skin appearance look better.

This treatment can benefit your skin in reducing wrinkles, acne scars, pores, texture, and rough skin. It primarily focuses on fine lines and wrinkles on your body’s hands, neck, and chest region. However, a cool peel is not as deep in your skin as the traditional CO2 laser, considered one of the best wrinkle treatments for wrinkles in dermatology.

How does cool peel work?

• Cool peel renews your skin by heating water molecules inside your skin like other skincare treatments. This treatment stimulates the body’s collagen production. 
• The cool peel works fast as compared to other laser treatments. While other treatments take weeks to show any results, a cool peel laser shows improvement in your skin in just a day.
• It uses the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser, giving the dermatologist an option to change the laser’s ability to adjust both power and size. 
• The treatment focuses on smaller regions like tiny spots and fine lines.
• The whole treatment takes around 15 minutes to complete. This treatment uses a unique spray that shortens the duration of the treatment.
• It is advised that you combine laser peel with treatments like micro-needling to boost the production of collagens and produce more healthy cells.

Advantages of cool peel:

• Cool peel is one of the quickest treatments you can ever undergo. The entire treatment only takes about 15 minutes to complete. 
• This quick treatment makes a recovery timeless too. In just a few days, you will see visible improvement in your skin.
• The power of the laser can easily be adjusted according to your preference. This makes the treatment more convenient for you and can be done by keeping the type of the skin and any concerns in mind.
• It is more comfortable than other CO2 laser treatments and can be done according to your convenience of date and time.

Disadvantages of cool peel:

• You are most likely to suffer from side effects like dryness and redness of the skin for one or two days after your treatment is over.
• As you can choose to adjust the power and side of the treatment, the doctors can make more errors. Therefore, you must see a dermatologist with adequate experience working with laser skin treatments.
• There is a possibility of triggering cold sores. If you want to avoid this, you can ask your doctor to prescribe you an antiviral medication in advance.
• There are chances of having inflammation and hyperpigmentation after the treatment. This reaction usually happens to people with light to dark brown pigmented skin tones. 

Therefore, you must talk to a trusted dermatologist about the pros and cons and see whether you are suitable for a cool peel.
