Tetra CoolPeel Laser San Mateo & Redwood City

Reveal smoother, firmer, more radiant skin with virtually no downtime.

Precision Skin Renewal, Perfected

At Cheng Plastic Surgery in San Mateo, we offer the advanced Tetra CoolPeel Laser—a modern evolution in CO₂ laser resurfacing. This cutting-edge treatment provides dramatic results with minimal recovery time, making it ideal for those looking to refresh their skin without disrupting their routine. Designed to soften fine lines, smooth texture, and reduce sun damage, CoolPeel offers powerful rejuvenation with the gentleness your skin deserves.

What Is Tetra CoolPeel Laser?

CoolPeel is a revolutionary, fractional CO₂ laser treatment that resurfaces the outer layer of skin using high-energy, ultra-short pulses.

This allows us to deliver the benefits of traditional ablative laser resurfacing—like firmer, brighter skin—without the extended downtime or thermal damage typically associated with older CO₂ technology. By minimizing heat delivery to surrounding tissue, CoolPeel accelerates healing, reduces redness, and lowers the risk of hyperpigmentation, making it a safe, effective solution for a wide range of skin concerns.

What Concerns Can CoolPeel Address?

CoolPeel treatments are ideal for patients looking to correct:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin tone and texture
Enlarged pores
Mild skin laxity
Acne scars
Age spots and sunspots
Dark circles
Dull or dehydrated skin
Early signs of aging around the eyes, lips, and jawline

Your CoolPeel Laser Treatment in San Mateo

Before Treatment

Your skin will be cleansed and evaluated by our aesthetic experts. A topical numbing cream or cooling gel may be applied to ensure comfort during your session. Protective eyewear is provided.

During Treatment

Using the Tetra CoolPeel device, our provider will glide the handpiece across the treatment area, delivering fractional CO₂ energy in precise, short pulses. Most patients describe the sensation as warm or tingly, but not painful.

After Treatment

You may notice a pink, sunburn-like appearance and slight tightness immediately after treatment—this typically fades within a day. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions, but most patients only need gentle skincare and SPF to protect their fresh new skin.

Am I a Candidate for CoolPeel?

CoolPeel is ideal for individuals who:

Are in good general health
Want skin rejuvenation without downtime
Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Are not taking medications that cause photosensitivity
Do not have active infections or a history of keloid scarring

If you’re new to laser treatments or want to maintain results from other procedures, CoolPeel offers a gentle introduction or a powerful skin boost between more intensive therapies.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients see improvement after just one session, but for optimal results, we may recommend a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

CoolPeel is also an excellent maintenance option to prolong the effects of other rejuvenation treatments like Fraxel, Moxi, or microneedling.
