When Subtle Changes Start to Bother You
Maybe the texture of your skin has shifted. Maybe makeup doesn't sit quite right anymore. Maybe you've started to notice uneven tone, faint lines, or rough patches that weren't there a year ago.
It's not dramatic, but it's enough to make you pause when you catch your reflection. CoolPeel is a modern, lower-intensity CO2 laser treatment that refreshes the skin's surface while supporting deeper collagen production. This non-invasive procedure helps reveal smoother skin, tighten skin gently, and support long-term skin health, all with minimal downtime.
CoolPeel at Skin Deep Medical Spa
At Skin Deep Medical Spa in Highland Park and Glenview, CoolPeel is performed under the supervision of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Bloch. With more than 30 years of experience in aesthetics, Dr. Bloch and our clinical team focus on meaningful, honest results. Every CoolPeel treatment is customized to your skin, your goals, and your comfort level.
What is CoolPeel?
CoolPeel is an advanced CO2 laser treatment that delivers short bursts of heat energy to the skin's superficial layer.
This laser peel targets damaged skin tissue to gently resurface the skin while encouraging new collagen production. The laser energy is highly controlled, which minimizes the risk of harming the surrounding skin and dramatically reduces the considerable downtime typically associated with older CO2 laser technologies. The result is healthier skin texture, softer fine lines, and a gradual return of clarity and tone.
CoolPeel addresses the types of skin changes that creep up quietly, especially in your 30s and 40s. It's ideal for treating:
Whether you're concerned with treating wrinkles or refreshing the skin's appearance, CoolPeel can provide a subtle reset that fits into real life.
Benefits of CoolPeel
CoolPeel is for people who want their skin to look more rested, more even, and better balanced, without needing to hide out for days afterward. It's effective, efficient, and rooted in real science. Benefits of CoolPeel treatment include:

CoolPeel is safe for a wide range of skin types. We'll go over everything during your consultation to make sure it's the right choice for you.
Your Consultation and Preparation

We offer numbing cream to keep you comfortable. The CoolPeel laser delivers bursts of controlled laser energy to the skin's surface, targeting the superficial layer without damaging deeper skin tissue. Most people describe the sensation as a light, warm prickling, noticeable but manageable.
The entire CoolPeel treatment usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. When you leave, your skin may feel slightly tight or warm, like a mild sunburn.
What CoolPeel Recovery Looks Like
This laser treatment has minimal downtime. Some patients experience light flaking, redness, or dryness over the next day or two. Your skin heals quickly, and you can usually return to your usual routine right away. Results start to become visible within the first week: smoother texture, brighter tone, and a more refreshed look. As new collagen production continues, your skin's appearance keeps improving naturally in the weeks that follow.
