CoolPeel care instructions
What to know before your treatment and how to care for your skin afterward.
CoolPeel pre-care instructions
Avoid excessive sun exposure 4-6 weeks before your appointment. Skin needs to be sunburn-free.
Stop applying topical treatments like retinol and self-tanners at least 2 days before treatment to avoid irritation.
Stop taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin at least 2 days before treatment in order to minimize bruising, unless directed by your doctor.
Expert tip: You can take an over-the-counter antihistamine, like Benadryl, before your appointment to help prevent swelling.
CoolPeel post-care instructions
Avoid applying makeup, touching, or cleansing the area for at least 24 hours to allow the skin to recover.
Keep the area protected and hydrated at all times with products like Vaseline or Aquaphor. Over the next week, use the skincare products provided in your after-care kit.
Sleep on a clean pillowcase to avoid irritation and slightly elevate your head to help prevent swelling.
Expert tip: You can take an over-the-counter antihistamine, like Benadryl, to help reduce swelling.
What’s next?
One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel is that there is minimal social downtime. For the first few days, your skin will be a little red, as if you have a sunburn and minor swelling, but you can still go about your normal routine. Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals so be sure to keep it moisturized.
