Coolpeel Procedure
Numbing Cream
The CoolPeel procedure is usually performed without
anesthesia. However, a topical numbing cream may
sometimes be applied to the treatment area. This cream
helps to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
Laser Removal of Superficial Layer
Dr. Schertell and Dr. Moore use the laser to remove the
outer layers of skin. The laser delivers precise beams of
light energy that vaporize thin sections of damaged skin
cells, exposing new, healthy cells underneath. Several
passes with the laser may be required to achieve the
desired results.
Soothing Gel Application
After laser resurfacing, a soothing gel is applied to the
treated area. It contains protective ingredients to
nourish skin and manage any oozing from the
procedure. This gel starts the healing process.

Light to medium skin tones: the CoolPeel laser is safe for all skin types, but it works best on types I-III

we examine each patient thoroughly to determine if they can benefit from this innovative treatment.
Benefits Of Coolpeel
- Evens skin tone: by removing top layers of skin, CoolPeel allows fresh, even-toned skin to come to the surface. Age spots, sun spots, and other areas of discoloration are diminished.
- Minimally invasive: unlike some aggressive resurfacing treatments, CoolPeel does not require incisions. There is minimal downtime after treatment, so most patients can address their skincare concerns and resume regular activities immediately
- Safe for sensitive areas: CoolPeel can be used to treat delicate areas of the face and body, including the mouth, neck, and around the eyes. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, even by those with sensitive skin.
- Improves skin texture: CoolPeel gently removes the outermost layer of skin, promoting new collagen production. This improves overall skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores.
