Reveal Brighter, Healthier Skin—Without the Downtime of Traditional CO₂ Resurfacing

Experience the rejuvenating power of CO₂ laser technology with our GentlePeel CO₂ Laser Peel.

How It Works

The GentlePeel CO₂ Laser Peel uses precise fractional CO₂ laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating the body's natural collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional CO₂ resurfacing, the treatment is designed to deliver energy more efficiently with less residual heat to the surrounding tissue, resulting in a gentler treatment and a faster recovery.

​

Over the following weeks, new collagen continues to develop, improving the skin's overall texture, firmness, and appearance.

​

What to Expect

Your provider will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream before treatment for your comfort. During the procedure, you may feel warmth and a mild prickling sensation as the laser passes over the treatment area.

Following treatment, your skin will typically appear pink to red, similar to a sunburn. Most patients experience:

• Mild redness

• Warmth

• Dryness

• Light peeling or flaking for several days

 

Many clients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities within 2–5 days, depending on the intensity of their treatment and individual healing response.

​

Is There Downtime?

GentlePeel is specifically designed for patients who want meaningful skin rejuvenation without the extended downtime of traditional CO₂ laser resurfacing.

​

Typical recovery includes:

• Day 1–2: Redness and warmth

• Day 2–4: Dryness and light peeling

• Day 4–7: Fresh, brighter skin begins to emerge

 

Your provider will recommend a personalized skincare regimen and strict sun protection during healing.

​

Who Is a Good Candidate?

GentlePeel may be right for you if you want to:

• Improve early signs of aging

• Refresh sun-damaged skin

• Boost collagen naturally

• Enhance skin texture with minimal downtime

• Maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin

 

A consultation with one of our experienced providers will determine if this treatment is appropriate for your skin type and goals.

​
