Fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin texture can make you feel less confident about your appearance. CoolPeel laser resurfacing offers a revolutionary solution that delivers the proven benefits of traditional CO2 laser technology without extensive downtime. Our expert team at Destination Aesthetics serves patients throughout El Dorado Hills, Elk Grove, Folsom, Roseville, and Sacramento, CA with this breakthrough skin renewal treatment.
CoolPeel is an advanced CO2 laser treatment that targets the superficial layer of skin with precise, controlled energy pulses. This FDA-cleared technology removes damaged skin cells while stimulating natural collagen production in the deeper layers. Unlike traditional CO2 lasers that create significant thermal damage, CoolPeel delivers therapeutic benefits through controlled application that preserves surrounding healthy tissue.
The treatment addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously, including fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven texture. CoolPeel works by creating microscopic treatment zones that trigger your skin’s natural healing response. As damaged tissue is removed and replaced with fresh, healthy cells, you experience smoother, more youthful-looking skin with minimal recovery time.
At Destination Aesthetics, we utilize the latest CoolPeel technology powered by advanced CO2 laser systems that deliver precise, controlled energy. This premium system treats varying degrees of skin damage through clinical-grade formulations designed for optimal results. The controlled CO2 laser method targets specific skin concerns while maintaining safety protocols that require professional administration for aesthetic excellence.
Professional oversight ensures each treatment is customized to your skin type and goals. Our experienced team combines technical expertise with artistic vision to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your unique beauty.
Both CoolPeel® and chemical peels are designed to refresh and rejuvenate your skin, but they work in different ways and come with different benefits. CoolPeel® uses advanced CO₂ laser technology for controlled resurfacing, while chemical peels rely on specially formulated solutions to exfoliate and renew the skin. Comparing the two side by side can help you decide which treatment best fits your goals.
Both treatments can significantly improve skin quality. Patients who want minimal downtime with progressive, natural results often choose CoolPeel®, while those seeking a quicker refresh or targeting specific skin conditions may prefer a chemical peel.

Thank you for your positive feedback about our practice! Jessica has been in the aesthetic industry for over 8 years and continues to give the best experience possible! All our best, Destination AestheticsPosted on Arielle MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve recently switched to Jessica, because my prior work was done by someone no longer working in Elk Grove. I’ve always been happy at destination aesthetics. The one time I didn’t come here I ended up with lop sided eyebrows and had to come back for destination to fix it. They always keep your follow up appointment. They always make you comfortable. Jessica had extensive knowledge of the laser facial and best sunblock options.

What is it like to get CoolPeel treatments at Destination Aesthetics™? Here’s a look at what you can expect each step of the way.
Step 1
During your comprehensive consultation, our experienced aestheticians assess your skin type, discuss your aesthetic goals, and review your medical history to ensure CoolPeel is the ideal treatment for you. We create a personalized treatment plan and design the optimal approach for your specific skin concerns and desired outcomes.
Step 2
Your CoolPeel session begins with thorough skin preparation and optional numbing cream application for enhanced comfort. The advanced CO2 laser is precisely applied to target areas using controlled energy pulses. Most patients describe the sensation as warm tingling with brief intensity. Treatment duration typically ranges from 15-30 minutes depending on area size.
Step 3
Initial results become visible within 3-7 days as your skin begins its natural renewal process. Full results develop over 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases and new skin cells surface. Maintenance treatments every 12-18 months help sustain optimal results and continued skin improvement.
CoolPeel technology is FDA-cleared for safe and effective skin resurfacing when administered by qualified professionals. Our experienced team at Destination Aesthetics has extensive training in laser procedures and maintains the highest safety standards. The treatment has an excellent track record with minimal risk of adverse effects when proper protocols are followed.
What Are Possible Side Effects of CoolPeel® Treatments?
Minor side effects may include temporary redness, mild swelling, or skin sensitivity immediately following treatment. Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours with proper aftercare. Temporary symptoms typically resolve within one week as skin heals naturally.
Rare serious complications are uncommon when treatments are performed by qualified professionals. Contact our staff immediately if you experience unusual symptoms. Our comprehensive safety record demonstrates the effectiveness and reliability of CoolPeel treatments.
Most patients achieve excellent results with 1-2 initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 12-18 months help sustain improvements and address new skin concerns as they develop. Your aesthetician will customize the treatment frequency based on your skin’s response and aesthetic goals.
We recommend avoiding makeup for the first 24 hours post-treatment to allow proper healing. After this initial period, you can resume makeup application using gentle, mineral-based products. Your skin may be more sensitive for several days, so choose non-irritating formulations during the healing process.
CoolPeel demonstrates excellent effectiveness for treating melasma, age spots, and hyperpigmentation through controlled laser energy that breaks down excess melanin. The treatment can be combined with professional skincare products and sun protection for comprehensive pigmentation management and prevention of recurrence
Most patients describe CoolPeel sensations as warm tingling with brief moments of intensity during laser application. The treatment is significantly more comfortable than traditional CO2 procedures due to controlled energy delivery. Optional numbing cream and cooling techniques enhance comfort throughout the session
Initial healing involves mild redness and possible light peeling for 3-5 days as damaged skin is naturally shed. Your skin will gradually reveal smoother, brighter tissue underneath. Following post-treatment care instructions including gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection ensures optimal healing and results
CoolPeel can be adapted for sensitive skin through customized energy settings and gentle treatment protocols. During consultation, we assess your skin’s sensitivity level and medical history to determine the safest approach. Many patients with sensitive skin achieve excellent results with modified treatment parameters.
Preparation begins 2-4 weeks before treatment by discontinuing retinoids, exfoliating acids, and avoiding sun exposure. Your aesthetician will provide specific pre-treatment instructions including recommended skincare products and medications to avoid. Proper preparation ensures optimal treatment results and minimizes potential complications.
Initial improvements become visible within 3-7 days as surface healing occurs and skin texture begins to refine. Full results develop over 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases and cellular turnover completes its cycle. Many patients notice continued improvements for several months following treatment as skin renewal processes continue.
