What is the difference between CO2 laser and CoolPeel?

Both use the same CO2 laser. Traditional fractional CO2 resurfacing is more aggressive for deeper wrinkles and scars, with about five to seven days of downtime. CoolPeel is a lighter version that improves tone, texture, and fine lines with minimal downtime — often back to normal the same day.

What does CO2 laser resurfacing treat?

Deep and fine wrinkles, acne and surgical scarring, sun damage, uneven texture, and enlarged pores. It is one of the most effective single treatments for overall skin renewal.

How much downtime is there?

It depends on the intensity. A full CO2 resurfacing session typically involves five to seven days of redness and peeling, while CoolPeel usually means a day or two of mild pinkness. Your provider tailors the setting to your goals and schedule.

Is CO2 laser safe for my skin?

CO2 laser is best suited to certain skin types, which is why we start with a consultation and skin evaluation. If CO2 is not ideal for you, we will recommend a safer alternative such as RF microneedling or BBL.

Why Summit

The medical difference

CO2 is the most powerful resurfacing laser available — and in the right hands, the most rewarding. It removes damaged surface skin while heating the deeper layers to rebuild collagen, so tone, texture, and scarring improve together. Because it's a medical-grade laser, settings and skin suitability matter enormously. At Summit, your treatment is planned and performed in a dermatology practice, with the intensity matched to your goals and your downtime — from a full resurfacing session to a gentle CoolPeel.

CO2 or CoolPeel?

Two intensities, one laser

Full CO2 resurfacing is the choice for deeper wrinkles, significant scarring, and years of sun damage — dramatic, long-lasting renewal, with roughly five to seven days of visible healing. CoolPeel uses the same laser at a lighter setting to refresh tone, texture, pores, and fine lines with little to no downtime — many patients are back to their day the same afternoon. At your consultation we'll evaluate your skin and recommend the approach that fits your goals, your skin type, and your calendar.
