CoolPeel Laser
Cool Peel is your "I want better skin, but I have things to do" laser. It smooths and brightens the skin without putting your life on pause. Cool Peel on Friday, brunch plans by Sunday.
What Is A Cool Peel Laser Treatment
Cool Peel is a next-generation resurfacing treatment designed to improve fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, pore size, and overall skin texture. By targeting the superficial layer, it reveals smoother, more refined skin.
Cool Peel is built on CO2 technology—but done smarter. It minimizes excess thermal damage, allowing for a more controlled treatment with shorter downtime than a traditional CO2 laser. Settings are fully customizable based on your goals and how much downtime you're willing to take.
Ready for smoother, brighter, more refined skin—without putting your life on pause? Cool Peel is your low-downtime skin reset. Book your appointment at Maintenance Bar and get back to glowing, fast!
How CoolPeel Works at Maintenance Bar
Skin Evaluation
We'll assess your skin type, previous treatment history, and what your skin goals are. We customize your treatment based on all of this information!
Preparation
A topical numbing cream will be applied before your treatment. We also use cryotherapy to make the treatment even more comfortable. Protective eyewear is place on you before the treatment begins.
Laser Treatment
The treatment takes about 15-20 minutes depending on how many areas we are treating. You'll feel some warmth and a mild snapping sensation. It's a fairly comfortable treatment (especially with the numbing and cryotherapy), most patients are chatting with us through the entire treatment!
Immediate Aftercare
You'll be a little pink, maybe slightly swollen, and feel like you got a light sunburn for the day. Normal, expected, and part of the process. We'll go over your aftercare before heading home.
What to Expect from CoolPeel at Maintenance Bar
Day 1: You'll be pink, a little warm, and feel like you have a mild sunburn.
Day 2: Redness starts to calm down. You'll have some mild swelling. There will also be a gritty texture to your skin—don't pick, let this shed naturally.
Day 3: You may still have a little swelling and that gritty texture will start sloughing off.
Day 4: Swelling has gone down. Most of the texture has flaked off, revealing your new smoother, brighter skin underneath!
Day 7: Wow, obsessed. Skin is smooth, glowing, and your makeup is behaving again.
You'll notice results after one treatment, but depending on your skin goals, a series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart may be recommended.
We love pairing Cool Peel with Virtue RF Microneedling or Sofwave because they target different layers of the skin—and that's how you get real results. Cool Peel refines the surface, improving texture, tone, and pores, while RF microneedling or Sofwave work deeper to stimulate collagen and tighten. It's a true stack: smoother on top, stronger underneath.
If you're investing in skin treatments, you need a solid skincare routine to support your results. We'll recommend products based on your skin and your goals.
If you're looking for deeper collagen remodeling, then we suggest checking out the Deka CO2 Laser. Same laser platform, but a deeper treatment with more downtime than the Cool Peel.
Who Benefits from a Cool Peel Laser Treatment
The Cool Peel Laser is ideal for patients with dull texture, big pores, sun damage, and fine lines. You want to give your skin a refresh without committing to a ton of downtime.
If your skin looks dull and textured despite a good skincare routine, CoolPeel addresses what topicals can't reach.
The best part about the Cool Peel Laser? It's safe for all skin types and ethnicities!
Combine the Cool Peel Laser with treatments like Botox, Sculptra, Sofwave, and hyperdilute Radiesse for a comprehensive approach—targeting both the surface and deeper structure of the skin. We don't do one-and-done...we stack treatments for optimal results!
If you've been layering on more products and not seeing any results, it's time to polish your skin with a Cool Peel at Maintenance Bar. Sometimes your skin needs a reset, not another product.
