As CoolPeel Laser Resurfacing is able to penetrate into the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating the growth of younger, tighter-looking skin, the results have been shown to possibly last for years. Of course, this timeline is dependent on your age, skin type, and skin condition. Additionally, it may depend on how many CoolPeel treatments you have received. Many people will choose two or three treatments to achieve many longer-lasting results.

CoolPeel Laser Resurfacing is a treatment using a non-ablative laser that functions by stimulating the body’s natural healing process and triggering collagen production as a response to tiny wounds being created by the laser deep in the skin. This laser is unlike others on the market in that it is customizable, allowing the professional to change the settings of the laser, such as intensity and pulse size, to be more appropriate for the skin type and condition of the patient. As well, the pulse time of the laser is much shorter than other lasers, creating a much more controlled injury to the skin and causing less injury to the surrounding skin, allowing for a much easier and quicker healing time post-treatment. The customizable pulse also means that the CoolPeel laser can provide a small enough pulse to be safe for use around the eyes.

Since the CoolPeel process requires heat, your skin may feel like it is suffering from sunburn for the first 12 to 24 hours after receiving the treatment. As such, only the use of Aquaphor or some other very gentle moisturizer is recommended for the first three days after the treatment to avoid letting the skin dry out. For at least two days after the treatment, it is recommended that you avoid makeup and sunscreen, and after two days, only mineral makeup and sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher are recommended. For the first week post-treatment, avoid the use of any active ingredients on your skin, such as retinol, salicylic acid, or alcohol-based toners, as well as any intensive heat situations like a hot tub, hot bath, sauna, or steam room. If you need any recommendations for products or have any more questions regarding after-care, please speak with the professional who has provided the treatment to ensure that you can achieve the best results possible.

The results from a CoolPeel laser resurfacing treatment will take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to fully take effect, but patients can expect to start noticing improvements after just one week. A dramatic difference can start to be noticed after around 10 days. The slower timeline of results is due to the production of collagen, which will slowly fill in the fine lines and wrinkles. This slow evolution is often preferred, as it allows others to notice the more youthful appearance without seeing the dramatic difference that shows that work has been done.
