CoolPeel CO2 Laser Treatments in Greensboro, NC
CoolPeel
Refresh and revitalize your skin with CoolPeel®, an advanced CO₂ laser treatment designed to improve texture, tone, and signs of aging with minimal downtime. By precisely targeting the skin’s surface and stimulating collagen production, CoolPeel helps reduce fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and acne scarring while revealing a smoother, healthier-looking complexion. The result is brighter, more youthful skin without the extended recovery associated with traditional CO₂ laser treatments.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
CO₂ laser skin resurfacing uses advanced laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production deep within the skin. This powerful rejuvenation treatment helps improve fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. As your skin heals, new collagen forms and fresh, healthier skin is revealed, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking complexion. Treatment plans can be customized based on your skin concerns and desired level of correction.
Transform your skin with CO2 Laser Technology
A CO₂ laser is one of the most effective treatments available for improving skin quality and reversing visible signs of aging. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, it stimulates your body’s natural collagen production while replacing damaged skin with healthier, smoother tissue.
Whether you’re looking to soften fine lines and wrinkles, reduce acne scars, improve sun damage, minimize enlarged pores, or enhance overall skin tone and texture, a CO₂ laser treatment can deliver dramatic, long-lasting results that topical skincare alone cannot achieve.
At Glow Aesthetics, we customize every CO₂ treatment to your skin concerns and desired downtime. From a lighter CoolPeel® treatment with minimal recovery to a more intensive fully ablative resurfacing procedure, we’ll help you choose the option that best fits your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
A full-face CoolPeel laser peel can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes.
One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel is that there is minimal downtime. You should expect to be a little red, as if you have a sunburn, for a day, or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities. Your skin may feel dry andscaly as it heals so it is important to keep the skin hydrated.
These are ablative procedures, just not in the old way using CO2 lasers where significant recovery was necessary. CoolPeel delivers the same kind of results with really no downtime. Still, these aren’t meant to be done every month, as you would with a treatment such as a superficial peel.Typically one to three treatments deliver the kind of results patients seek. We’ll discuss the spacing of your sessions at your consultation.
The secret to CoolPeel is that the Tetra laser delivers high energy, but it does so in extremely short pulses. This eliminates the problems with lingering heat and damage to the surrounding skin. Because of that, CoolPeel delivers ablative type results with total comfort and without the downtime. The only real risk of side effects is the potential for hyper- or hypopigmentation for patients with olive or brown skin. This is true of any laser treatment. Also, as with other laser treatments, if you have the human papillomavirus there is a risk the laser energy can trigger an outbreak of cold sores. Your physician can provide a prescription for antiviral medication in advance in these cases.
Yes, these treatments are completely safe. They have been cleared by the FDA. As mentioned above, patients have some redness, similar to moderate sunburn, for a day or two. And the skin can feel a little dry and scaly as it heals, but those issues are easily addressed with skin lotion.
You will start noticing improvements after one week. The collagen production has been stimulated, and your skin resurfacing has begun. You will see real improvements as your outermost layers of damaged, dull skin cells are shed and replaced with younger, healthy cells. Texture issues, sun damage, age spots and pigmentation, overall dull skin — these will all improve dramatically beginning after about a week. Your new, healthier skin will continue to reveal itself moving forward.
These are permanent improvements in your skin thanks to the high energy delivered by the Tetra laser. Of course, your skin will continue to age. But if you protect your skin from the sun, you’ll enjoy these improvements for a long time.
