Both Chemical Peels and CoolPeel are designed to rejuvenate the skin and provide lasting anti-aging results. Both non-invasive, minimal downtime, anti-aging skin treatments have provided patients with fresher, younger, and healthier skin for years, all without having to go under the knife. However, as the name implies, both are different procedures — one chemical, the other laser-based. So how do you know which one is right for you? Read below to learn more about Chemical Peels and CoolPeel!
Chemical peels are medical-grade chemical solutions (such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acids) that will give you healthier, more radiant skin in one treatment. The chemical peel works by “loosing” the skin and making it peel to reveal healthier, younger, brighter, and softer tissue. While maintenance assures the best results, patients can see impressive improvements even after one treatment.
Chemical peels are applied similarly to “facemasks.” They’re painted onto the skin, massaged, and then left for a certain amount of time. Depending on the level of intensity chosen, there may be some itching, tingling, and burning sensations during the application. For the next few days, the skin will also itch and peel. However, none of the pain should be unbearable nor significant. A cold compress will help relieve the skin during the healing time.
There are three different types of chemical peels, each with different intensity levels and purposes. The three are described on our website as below:
For those looking to undo skin damage and get a softer, more radiant face, chemical peels are a great option. Chemical peels are specially designed to target signs of aging, such as:

Chemical peels have become more and more popular over the last few years, and for a good reason. As an anti-aging skin care procedure that is highly customizable and non-invasive, many are turning to chemical peels to maintain a youthful appearance and to reverse the effects of skin aging. Chemical peels only damage the top layer of skin, leaving the more profound layers safe and unaffected as it stimulates healthier skin growth. While the procedure itself can have mild discomfort, and the peeling/itchy recovery can be irritating, patients vouch that the procedure is well worth it and ultimately more convenient than other skincare alternatives. For patients looking to prioritize anti-aging with a minimal downtime procedure, chemical peels are a fabulous choice.
CoolPeel is an advanced laser technology designed as a skin resurfacing treatment to deliver infrared light to the first layer of skin and heat its second layer. CoolPeel uses short pulses of this light to remove the outermost skin layer and stimulate collagen growth for brighter, healthier, smoother skin. Unlike older lasers that can traumatize the skin or accidentally mistarget the treatment area, CoolPeel uses the latest technology to gently and accurately target the skin and minimize excess damage while still providing the targeted area with the best collagen stimulation. Additionally, CoolPeel prevents lingering heat, making the treatment as comfortable as possible for the patient. Due to its advanced technology, the downtime is minimal with typically only a couple days of redness and mild swelling. The precision, comfort, significantly reduced downtime and effectiveness of this treatment makes CoolPeel one of the top choices in skin laser treatments!
By stimulating collagen growth, CoolPeel can help:
CoolPeel does all of this at once, meaning that each treatment will improve all skin blemishes and give you an overall fresher, younger, tighter, more rejuvenated skin feel and look.
CoolPeel stands out compared to other laser skincare alternatives. Laser treatments like CoolPeel are known as fractional ablative treatments (FATs). Most FATs heat up an entire skin section without any cooling mechanism and can have weeks’ worth of recovery depending on the laser heat intensity. While the results are often fabulous, the pain, discomfort, and potential mistargeting deter many patients. CoolPeel prioritizes patient comfort and ease. Therefore, the pulsing laser, precision tool, and cooling capabilities can deliver laser skin treatments’ beautiful skin results while also customizing heat intensity, recovery time, treatment area, and comfort level to the patient’s wishes.
While both chemical peels and CoolPeel deliver fabulous results, minimize skin damage, stimulate collagen growth, and reveal fresh, healthy skin, they serve different purposes, target different skincare goals, and have different utilities.
