CoolPeel in Chicago, IL is the latest CO2 laser that delivers the benefits of a traditional CO2 laser skin resurfacing to most skin types in a safe and comfortable way.
CoolPeel is the latest, revolutionary CO2 laser available in our Chicago, IL office. This CO2 laser is the first-ever all inclusive laser treatment that can help treat different skin issues such as brown spots, skin tones, fine lines, wrinkles, etc. to help rejuvenate the skin.
Patients seek Aesthetic Skin Chicago for their advanced techniques and latest technologies for their aesthetic care. CO2 laser treatments in the past were often limited to patients with a darker skin tone (Fitzpatrick 4-5). These patients would often seek other treatments that would not offer the same benefits as a CO2 laser treatment which would often mean longer times when seeking results.
With CoolPeel, we can now treat patients with these skin tones and target areas that our patients would often complain about such as brown spots and skin rejuvenation.
There is minimal to no downtime after a CoolPeel. CoolPeel uses a shorter pulse than previous CO2 lasers allowing for a quicker recovery time. Most patients will experience redness after the first few hours after treatment, but can return to daily activities immediately afterwards.
While traditional CO2 treatments can be aggressive and require significant downtime, CoolPeel’s technology allows practitioners to deliver a fractional ablative treatment without causing excessive thermal damage to the surrounding skin. This means a significantly reduced recovery time while still delivering noticeable results.
Previous CO2 laser treatments often used a numbing cream that needed to be applied to the face before treatment. CoolPeel does not require a numbing agent but we do offer a cooling air device to help minimize any uncomfortable feelings during the treatment.
Patients might feel a slight stinging sensation during the procedure, but the discomfort is generally minimal. Anesthesia or numbing cream is often applied beforehand to enhance patient comfort.
Typically, a facial treatment with the CoolPeel takes about 15 minutes or less. Other areas of treatment such as the hands or décolleté maybe even less.
One of the advantages of CoolPeel is the reduced downtime. Many patients experience minor redness and a sunburn-like feeling for a day or two after the treatment, but the recovery period is significantly shorter than traditional CO2 laser treatments.

Side effects are typically mild. Common side effects include redness, slight swelling, and a tingling or sunburn-like sensation. It’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunblock to protect the treated area during the healing process.
Most people who seek improved skin texture, reduction in fine lines, sun damage, and enlarged pores are potential candidates for CoolPeel. However, it’s essential to consult with one of the providers of Aesthetic Skin to determine if the treatment is right for you.
The longevity of results can vary but often last for several months to years. Maintaining a good skincare routine, protecting your skin from the sun, and living a healthy lifestyle can extend the duration of the results.
