CoolPeel

CoolPeel is a fractional CO₂ laser skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and early signs of aging with much less downtime than traditional CO₂ lasers. It uses the SmartXide Tetra CO₂ laser to deliver very short, controlled pulses of laser energy that remove damaged superficial skin while stimulating collagen production. 

Unlike older CO₂ laser treatments that create significant heat and longer recovery times, CoolPeel minimizes excess heat to surrounding tissue, making the procedure gentler and more comfortable.
