The CO2 Laser using CoolPeel Technology Advantage
CO2 laser technology has been around for some time. CoolPeel elevated this form of ablative laser resurfacing for improved client comfort and reduced downtime.
As a fractional CO2 laser, CO2/CoolPeel targets sections of skin (instead of all of it). This removes damaged, dull skin tissue so that new, refreshed skin can show without the intense effects of traditional lasers. CoolPeel’s heat penetration still stimulates new collagen production to tighten the skin and reduce laxity/sagging.
Additional Built-in Comfort
CoolPeel’s shorter laser pulses don’t create the intense heat that older systems do. To further this advantage, CoolPeel’s applicator also offers proprietary, built-in skin cooling for extra comfort and safety.
All of this adds up to:
- Shorter downtimes.
- Little to no treatment discomfort.
- Noticeable improvements that don’t look like you’ve “had work done.”
Why It’s Worth Choosing CoolPeel
Our CoolPeel system for CO2 laser skin resurfacing in Oakland County delivers:
- Dramatic Results. The enhanced collagen and elastin production smooths, plumps, and clears skin. This skin tightening and tone improvement helps patients look younger and healthier.
- Lasting Results. Your skin enhancements can last for years, especially with medical-grade skincare and sun protection. That longevity outperforms many other nonsurgical options.
- Versatile Results. Need to treat mild to moderate lines and wrinkles? Want nonsurgical acne scar revision? Ready to diminish sunspots and pigmentation issues? Looking for a more even texture and pore refinement? This is the treatment for you.
- Satisfying Results. Our clients love how they look and how their skin feels when they include CO2 laser skin resurfacing in their skin rejuvenation plan.

Skin Boutique’s CO2 Laser Treatment Process
When you come to our medical spa located in Royal Oak, just minutes north of downtown Detroit, our team helps you:
- Set realistic expectations.
- Curate a customized treatment plan.
- Achieve skin that glows, vibrant and healthy.
Step 1: Let’s Talk
Your personal consultation digs in deep to discuss:
- Your skin concerns
- What you’d like to achieve
- Challenges or obstacles
- Your skin care routine
- Your lifestyle
No one wants to commit to an action plan if it doesn’t fit how they live. We combine this data with a skin assessment and use our expertise to determine if CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a good fit for your unique needs.
If the answer is yes, we can schedule your appointments.
Step 2: Treatment Time
When you come in for CO2 laser skin resurfacing in Oakland County, we walk through the expectations again so that you’re fully informed and ready. We also apply a topical numbing cream, so that all you have to do is relax!
Your provider uses the CoolPeel applicator to direct personalized laser energy onto the outer layer of your skin. These pulses remove dull, damaged skin while activating your body’s natural healing processes beneath the surface.
The treatment feels warm, but the device helps you stay comfortable. After your CoolPeel CO2 laser session, your skin may look refreshed and glowing.
Step 3: The Results
Though some results are immediately visible, others will take time for your body to create natural improvements. Over the next few weeks, new collagen production increases in the treatment area. You’ll notice:
- Smoother skin texture
- Diminished lines and wrinklers
- Less sagging
- A brighter, more even tone
Each CO2 laser resurfacing session builds upon the results of the previous one for a significant, lasting transformation that’s natural-looking and healthy.
Post-Treatment Add-Ons
Because our CoolPeel laser delivers gentler skin resurfacing than other lasers, many Skin Boutique clients choose to stack treatments that enhance both immediate and future results.
Dermasound Plus™
The 3-step, noninvasive Dermasound Plus treatment uses low-frequency ultrasound waves combined with electric microcurrents to stimulate collagen production and boost cellular function. It also reduces the amount of inflammation from acne-causing bacteria for a clearer, longer-lasting complexion.
Dermaplaning
Often combined with facials, Skin Boutique’s dermaplaning service exfoliates further by also removing peach fuzz. It’s a cleansing way to show off your “glow.”
BBL
Broadband light (BBL) photorejuvenation restores smoother skin clarity by delivering gentle pulses of light (not lasers) to the treatment area. This lightens up age spots, hyperpigmentation, and even freckling for a skin tone that’s brighter and more even.

Frequently Asked Questions About CoolPeel
Our clients are smart cookies! They ask great questions about CO2 laser skin resurfacing in Oakland County, MI—and we’re more than happy to answer!
What is the average cost of a CO2 laser?
There is no average cost for CO2 laser skin resurfacing. 3 factors influence your self-investment:
- Treatment Areas. Are you resurfacing a smaller area, like the back of the hands, or including the face, neck, and décolleté (chest)? Different areas require different lengths of time for optimal treatment.
- CO2 Laser Device. The type of laser being used can incur additional costs. Older/traditional systems may require the addition of topical numbing cream and—in some cases—mild sedation. Our CoolPeel CO2 laser device doesn’t require either of those.
- Number of Sessions. We typically recommend 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, for optimal results. However, some clients may require more than 3 to reach their goals, or may require more maintenance sessions to support their results.
Once your consultation concludes, your Skin Boutique professional can give you a breakdown of the expected costs for your CoolPeel treatments.
What is the best age for CO2 laser treatment?
There isn’t any specific “age” that is most suitable for CoolPeel CO2 laser skin resurfacing. The age depends more on what your goals are for treatment.
- For anti-aging: clients in their late 30s to 60s benefit best
- For acne scarring: many clients in their 20s use our CO2 laser to address acne scars
- For general cosmetic improvements: clients in their late 20s to 60s address sun spots, lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, texture, and more.
