What is involved in DEKA CoolPeel treatment?
Treatment begins with a gentle cleanse of the skin to remove makeup, oils and skincare products.
The treatment area is then carefully assessed and the CoolPeel parameters are selected according to your skin type, concerns and treatment goals.
The 10,600 nm CO₂ laser is passed systematically over the treatment area, delivering fractional micro-ablative energy to the superficial layers of the skin. The controlled laser pulses (HP pulse) create microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding skin intact.
DEKA's CoolPeel technology uses a short, high-peak-power pulse (HP pulse) and controlled scanning pattern to target the superficial skin layer while limiting unnecessary thermal accumulation. During treatment, you may feel warmth, heat or a series of small prickling sensations. Depending on the treatment settings, the skin may appear mildly red immediately afterwards.
How can DEKA CoolPeel improve your skin concerns?
The 10,600 nm CO₂ laser delivers precisely controlled fractional energy to the superficial skin, creating microscopic treatment zones that stimulate the skin's natural healing response.
This process encourages collagen remodelling and epidermal renewal, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture and mild acne scarring.
As the skin recovers, the treated surface gradually becomes smoother and more refined, while collagen remodelling can contribute to progressive improvement in skin quality.
CoolPeel is particularly useful when the goal is to achieve the skin-refining benefits of fractional CO₂ treatment while using a more superficial treatment approach and limiting downtime.
How to prepare for DEKA CoolPeel treatment
CoolPeel requires some preparation to minimise irritation and reduce the risk of unwanted pigmentation or other complications:
- 01
Protect from the sun
Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning before your treatment. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily.
- 02
Pause active skincare
Avoid irritating active skincare products such as retinoids, strong exfoliating acids or other potentially irritating products for the period recommended by your clinician.
- 03
Space out other treatments
Do not have aggressive skin treatments such as deep peels, other laser resurfacing treatments or procedures that irritate the skin shortly before CoolPeel unless advised by your clinician.
- 04
Arrive with clean skin
Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, creams and other skincare products in the treatment area.
- 05
Share your history
Tell your clinician about any medications, skincare products, recent cosmetic treatments or changes in your skin.
- 06
Flag any skin changes
Inform your clinician if you have active irritation, infection, cold sores or an unexplained skin lesion in the treatment area.
Your clinician will assess your skin and treatment goals before proceeding and provide personalised preparation instructions where required.

After your treatment
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ and minimise direct sun exposure.
Keep your skin hydrated with gentle, non-irritating skincare.
Avoid strong active ingredients, retinoids and exfoliation until your skin has recovered or as advised by your clinician.
Avoid excessive heat, such as saunas, steam rooms and very hot showers, immediately after treatment.
Avoid swimming and activities that may irritate the treated skin until advised by your clinician.
Do not pick, rub, scrub or attempt to remove any flaking or peeling skin.
Avoid applying potentially irritating products immediately after treatment.
Follow any individualised aftercare instructions provided by your clinician.
Mild redness, warmth, sensitivity or a rough “sandpaper-like” texture may occur following treatment. The degree and duration of these effects depend on the treatment settings used.
What can be done to complement DEKA CoolPeel?
Frequently asked questions.
Anything not covered here is best discussed in your consultation.
During a CoolPeel treatment, most clients experience a warm or hot sensation accompanied by light prickling. Your comfort level depends entirely on your skin sensitivity, the area being treated, and the specific laser settings. To ensure a comfortable experience, clinicians can apply cooling techniques or a topical numbing ointment before the procedure, which can reduce any discomfort to almost zero.
Immediately following the session, it is normal to experience mild redness, warmth, and skin sensitivity. While the initial redness typically fades within a few hours to a day, your skin will develop MENDs (Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris). These tiny, sand-like healing specks will naturally flake off within 10 days to reveal refreshed skin.
Your skin may appear brighter and smoother as the initial recovery settles. Improvements in texture, pores and fine lines develop progressively as the skin renews and collagen remodelling occurs.
A course of treatments may be recommended to achieve more noticeable and sustained improvement.
CoolPeel uses controlled micro-treatment zones to stimulate collagen and smooth mild acne scars. Because results depend on the depth of the scarring, deeper imperfections may require a combined approach. For severe scarring, DOT Therapy offers greater improvement, though it comes with longer downtime.
Yes. By promoting epidermal renewal and dermal remodelling, CoolPeel can help improve the appearance of enlarged pores and create a smoother, more refined skin texture.
CoolPeel may improve overall skin tone and some superficial pigmentation irregularities as part of skin resurfacing. However, it is not primarily a pigment-targeting laser.
For specific pigmentation concerns, your clinician may recommend a more targeted treatment depending on the type of pigmentation and your skin type.
Most people can resume their normal routine within one to two days after a superficial CoolPeel treatment. While you might experience immediate redness and skin sensitivity right after the procedure, these side effects fade quickly, allowing for a fast recovery.
CoolPeel is generally safe for all skin types, but your suitability depends on your unique skin concerns, medical history, and risk of pigmentation. A professional skin assessment is required before treatment. Your clinician will evaluate your skin to ensure safety and customise the laser settings for your specific needs.
