CoolPeel · Texture & Tone
CO2 Laser Resurfacing · DEKA Platform
Our signature treatment for visible transformation. Fractional CO2 resurfacing refines texture, tone, fine lines and pore size in a single session — with same-week results and minimal downtime. Serving Berkeley, Richmond and the East Bay from El Cerrito.
The Treatment
CoolPeel is a fractional CO2 laser treatment delivered on the DEKA platform. It resurfaces the outermost layers of the skin while keeping heat to the surrounding tissue low — which is exactly why you get the renewing power of CO2 with far less downtime than traditional deep laser. The result is smoother texture, more even tone, softened fine lines and refined pores.
It's our signature treatment because it delivers visible change patients can see the same week. Every treatment is performed by a Master's-prepared Registered Nurse under physician medical direction, after a good-faith medical exam confirms you're a safe candidate.
Visible refinement in texture and tone within days — many patients see results after a single session.
A couple of days of sunburn-like redness and light flaking, not a week of hiding.
Careful screening, a good-faith exam and conservative settings — safety first, always.
Two Depths, One Platform
Both run on the same DEKA CO2 laser. CoolPeel is the lighter, lower-downtime refresh. Deka goes deeper for more correction — our preferred endpoint for advanced concerns.

Transparent Pricing
Priced by treatment area — start with the full face and add neck or chest to blend your result.
A brief consultation and good-faith medical exam are included with every treatment. Laser pricing excludes melanin-suppression cream, which is pharmacy-direct and billed separately (recommended especially for the deeper Deka tier). Package and membership pricing available. Prices subject to change.
What to Expect
We assess your skin, confirm you're a safe candidate, and choose CoolPeel or Deka for your goals. Some skin types start a prep cream beforehand.
Topical numbing cream first for comfort, then the laser pass. Most describe a warm, prickly feeling with cooling afterward.
Redness like a sunburn, then light flaking as fresh skin surfaces. Simple aftercare — thermal spring water and a gentle post-laser serum — keeps you comfortable.
Smoother, brighter, more refined skin within the same week, continuing to improve as collagen renews.
Keep it gentle and hydrated: thermal spring water to soothe, a calming post-laser serum (we like a 5-Defensin age-repair serum), and diligent sun protection while your skin renews. We'll send you home with clear, simple instructions.
CoolPeel is built for minimal downtime — most patients are comfortable in public within a few days, camouflaging any residual pinkness with mineral makeup. The deeper Deka tier asks for a little more recovery time. Your provider gives you an honest, personalized timeline before you book.
