CoolPeel
Keep Your Cool
For decades, traditional carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers have been celebrated as the gold standard for erasing sun damage, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. However, the extended recovery, redness, and peeling associated with older CO2 devices kept many active patients from pursuing laser rejuvenation. At Schlessinger Eye and Face in Woodbury, NY, CoolPeel® changes everything by delivering fractional CO2 resurfacing with virtually zero social downtime.
Board-certified physician Dr. David A. Schlessinger brings over 30 years of subspecialty expertise to every laser procedure. Serving patients across Woodbury and surrounding Long Island communities, Dr. Schlessinger utilizes the revolutionary SmartXide Tetra CO2 system to target superficial skin tissue with ultra-short energy pulses. The result is a fast, comfortable treatment that smooths texture, tightens pores, and brightens sun damage while fitting seamlessly into your busy schedule.
Advanced fractional ablative CO2 laser resurfacing using the SmartXide Tetra system to vaporize microscopic surface damage without overheating surrounding skin.
Ultra-fast in-office outpatient treatment taking under 10 to 15 minutes for a full-face session.
Erases superficial sun damage, shrinks enlarged pores, smooths early fine lines, improves rough skin texture, and triggers natural collagen growth.
Minimal to no social downtime; expect 24 to 48 hours of mild pinkness (similar to a light sunburn) with immediate skin texture smoothing unfolding over 1 to 2 weeks.
Modern Innovation
CoolPeel® is a brand-new approach to fractional CO2 laser resurfacing performed using the state-of-the-art SmartXide Tetra CO2 device. Traditional CO2 lasers deliver continuous laser heat deep into the dermis, which, while effective for severe wrinkles, can cause significant thermal damage to surrounding healthy tissue and lead to 7 to 14 days of downtime.
CoolPeel® works differently. By delivering high-peak-power energy in extremely short pulse durations, it precisely vaporizes damaged microscopic tissue at the superficial top layer of skin without leaking lingering heat into nearby tissue. Because heat is tightly controlled, you receive all the collagen-stimulating, skin-smoothing benefits of fractional CO2 resurfacing without the oozing, crusting, or long recovery associated with traditional procedures.
Step Into Smooth Skin
Your appointment begins with a brief, personalized consultation with Dr. Schlessinger to examine your skin texture, pigmentation, and goals. Because CoolPeel® delivers minimal heat damage, many patients require only a light topical numbing cream prior to treatment, while others complete their session without numbing at all.
Your eyes are fitted with protective shields before Dr. Schlessinger guides the laser handpiece across your face. The laser delivers rapid micro-pulses across your skin, which feels like a faint, warm prickle or a minor tingling sensation. A full-face CoolPeel® session takes less than 10 minutes. Following energy delivery, cooling hydrators and soothing barrier balms are applied, and you are ready to drive home or return to your day immediately.
Correct Early Sun Damage & Target Fine Lines
CoolPeel® is routinely performed on the full face, delicate periorbital eye areas, neck, chest (décolletage), and the backs of the hands to restore smooth, luminous skin everywhere sun exposure occurs.
CoolPeel® is specially designed to refresh superficial skin flaws across the face, neck, and chest:
Lightens brown spots, freckles, and solar liver spots caused by UV exposure.
Softens delicate crinkles around the eyes, cheeks, and mouth.
Tightens skin around open pore structures to refine your overall complexion.
Exfoliates damaged surface cells to reveal soft, glowing skin underneath.
Smooths shallow texture irregularities and minor surface scarring.
Restores a clear, uniform tone across the lower face, neck, and décolletage.
Collagen-Building Ready
CO2 Results Without the Downtime
CoolPeel® delivers the proven skin-tightening and collagen-boosting power of carbon dioxide lasers while cutting downtime from two weeks down to just 24 to 48 hours of mild pinkness.
Quick 10-Minute Appointments
Because full-face passes take under 10 minutes, CoolPeel® fits easily into any morning or lunch break without disrupting your work or social life.
Safe and Comfortable for Sensitive Skin
Precise pulse control minimizes heat buildup, reducing discomfort during treatment and virtually eliminating the risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation or scarring.
Pairs Beautifully With Other Treatments
CoolPeel® works synergistically alongside Botox Cosmetic, dermal fillers, or Morpheus8 RF microneedling to optimize total facial rejuvenation in a single visit.
Embrace Your Glow
You are an ideal candidate for CoolPeel® if you want to correct fine lines, sun spots, rough texture, or enlarged pores but cannot afford the 1 to 2 weeks of downtime required by traditional CO2 resurfacing. It is a favorite choice for active professionals, younger patients seeking preventative aging care, and mature patients wanting a gentle skin reset.
During your consultation, Dr. Schlessinger examines your skin tone and medical background. Patients with active skin infections, open cold sores, or recent heavy sun exposure may be asked to delay treatment slightly.
A Radiant Reveal
Recovery after CoolPeel® is remarkably simple compared to traditional laser resurfacing. Immediately following your session, your skin will look slightly pink or flushed, similar to a light sunburn, and feel warm to the touch for a few hours.
Day 1 to 2
Mild pinkness gradually fades. Skin may feel slightly warm or dry, similar to sandpaper or a light sunburn.
Keep Skin Hydrated
Apply a gentle, non-comedogenic hydrating moisturizer or prescribed cooling ointment to soothe the skin barrier.
Skip Active Products
Avoid retinoids, glycolic acids, and harsh physical exfoliants for 3 to 5 days.
Daily Sun Protection
Apply broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure while healing.
Return to Makeup
Mineral makeup can be lightly applied 24 hours after your session.
As light surface dryness clears over 3 to 4 days, you will immediately notice smoother skin texture, reduced pore visibility, and a brighter complexion. Over the following 2 to 3 months, natural collagen production continues to firm your skin and soften fine lines from within.
While a single CoolPeel® treatment provides a visible radiance boost, most patients achieve optimal transformation through a series of 1 to 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. Scheduling an annual maintenance session keeps your skin luminous and youthful year-round.

Traditional CO2 resurfacing delivers intense heat that vaporizes multiple skin layers, requiring 7 to 14 days of oozing, swelling, and crusting. CoolPeel® uses ultra-short energy micro-pulses to treat only the superficial layer without overheating surrounding tissue, delivering similar texture smoothing with only 1 to 2 days of mild pinkness.
CoolPeel® is very comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a light, warm tingling or mild prickling. Because thermal heat is strictly controlled, discomfort is minimal, and a topical numbing cream ensures a smooth experience.
Many patients see noticeable skin brightening and texture improvement after just one 10-minute treatment. For optimal correction of sun damage, fine lines, or larger pores, a custom series of 2 to 3 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart is recommended.
Yes. CoolPeel® involves virtually no social downtime. Your skin may look slightly pink (as if you spent an hour in the sun), but you can return to work, errands, and light daily routines right away.
Absolutely. CoolPeel® pairs exceptionally well with Botox Cosmetic, Juvéderm, or Restylane during the same office visit. While injectables relax dynamic muscles and restore deep volume, CoolPeel® polishes the surface skin layer for complete facial rejuvenation.
