CoolPeel laser at L’Atelier Aesthetics is a refined approach to skin resurfacing, designed to improve texture, tone and radiance while keeping downtime to a minimum.
Prior to treatment, your skin will be assessed and prepared, with a topical numbing cream applied to maximise comfort. During the procedure, most patients experience a mild warming or prickling sensation as the laser is passed over the skin.
Following treatment, it is normal to experience redness, dryness and light flaking, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically settle within a few days. As the skin heals, texture appears smoother and brighter, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen regeneration takes place.
Downtime following CoolPeel is minimal compared with traditional CO₂ resurfacing. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 to 72 hours. Aftercare focuses on gentle skincare, moisturisation and strict sun protection to support healing and optimise results.
Detailed aftercare guidance is provided by the L’Atelier team to ensure your skin recovers comfortably and safely.

CoolPeel laser at L’Atelier Aesthetics is a refined approach to skin resurfacing, designed to improve texture, tone and radiance while keeping downtime to a minimum. Offered from our Harley Street clinic, CoolPeel forms part of our skin first philosophy, focusing on long term skin health rather than aggressive short term correction.
Led by Dr Duncan Brennand and supported by the experienced L’Atelier team, CoolPeel allows us to deliver the benefits of CO₂ laser resurfacing with greater precision and control. By targeting only the superficial layers of the skin, we can stimulate collagen renewal and improve surface irregularities without excessive heat or prolonged recovery.


At L’Atelier Aesthetics, CoolPeel is never treated as a standalone procedure. Every patient undergoes a comprehensive consultation to assess skin health, lifestyle, downtime tolerance and long term aesthetic goals.
Dr Duncan Brennand works closely with Emma, Kate and the wider clinical team to ensure treatments are thoughtfully planned and integrated into a broader skin strategy where appropriate. CoolPeel is often combined with medical grade skincare or injectable treatments as part of a progressive approach to skin optimisation rather than isolated correction.


CoolPeel uses an advanced CO₂ laser platform to deliver short, controlled pulses of energy to the surface of the skin. This gently removes damaged outer layers while stimulating collagen production beneath, encouraging skin renewal and improving overall quality.
Unlike traditional CO₂ laser resurfacing, CoolPeel avoids excessive heat build up. This allows us to achieve visible improvements in texture and tone while reducing inflammation, discomfort and recovery time. Each treatment is individually tailored following a detailed consultation, ensuring the laser settings are appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
CoolPeel laser is an advanced CO₂ skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone and radiance while minimising downtime. It refreshes the surface of the skin while stimulating collagen renewal beneath.
CoolPeel laser targets only the superficial layers of the skin using controlled pulses of energy, avoiding excessive heat. This allows for effective resurfacing with less redness, discomfort and recovery time compared to traditional CO₂ lasers.
CoolPeel laser is generally well tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and most patients describe the sensation as mild warmth or light prickling during the procedure.
CoolPeel laser is commonly used to improve fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, dull skin tone and mild sun damage. It is ideal for patients seeking skin refinement rather than aggressive resurfacing.
A CoolPeel laser session typically takes between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the area treated and the treatment settings used.
Downtime following CoolPeel laser is usually minimal. Most patients experience redness and mild dryness or flaking for one to three days before the skin settles.
Initial improvements in skin smoothness and brightness are often noticeable within the first week. Results continue to improve over several weeks as collagen production increases.
Many patients achieve noticeable improvement with a single CoolPeel laser treatment. A second session may be recommended after four to eight weeks for enhanced results, depending on skin goals.
CoolPeel laser is suitable for many skin types, but a consultation is essential to assess suitability, particularly for patients with darker skin tones or specific skin conditions.
CoolPeel laser can be combined with injectable treatments, skin boosters or medical grade skincare as part of a personalised skin plan. Your clinician will advise on the best treatment timing and combinations.
