CoolPeel vs. Traditional CO2: Which Resurfacing Laser Is Right for You This Summer?

But with so many options—particularly in the CO2 laser category—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Should you opt for the gentler CoolPeel® or go all-in with traditional ablative CO2 resurfacing?

Whether you want a no-downtime refresh or dramatic correction, we’re here to help you choose the treatment that fits your skin type, goals, and schedule.

Let’s compare CoolPeel vs. traditional CO2 in detail—so you can make the most informed (and effective) choice this summer.
