What Is the CoolTouch® Laser?
The CoolTouch® laser offers a groundbreaking, minimally invasive solution for facial rejuvenation. It stimulates collagen production to reduce common age-related skin concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars. Additionally, it can improve uneven skin tone and texture.

CoolTouch stands out because it delivers a continuous cooling spray before, during, and after the treatment, enhancing patient comfort. It is particularly effective for patients with skin pigmentation issues or severe scarring that other laser treatments may not adequately address.
The CoolTouch Laser Procedure
This treatment uses an infrared laser combined with a cooling spray to precisely target and rejuvenate the skin by encouraging collagen growth. It is safe for all skin types, including those with challenging acne scars or pigmentation concerns.
Before the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied for comfort. The cooling spray prepares the skin, allowing laser light to penetrate safely through the surface. This light stimulates deeper skin cells to produce collagen, which supports skin firmness and elasticity.
As collagen production naturally declines with age, the CoolTouch laser helps restore volume beneath the skin, smoothing wrinkles, softening acne scars, and enhancing overall skin tone. The procedure is virtually painless, lasting approximately 15 to 30 minutes, and can be performed on any area of the face—including delicate zones around the eyes and mouth.
Recovery After CoolTouch Laser Treatment
Typically, no downtime is required following a CoolTouch procedure. Patients can apply makeup immediately and return to normal activities without interruption.
Possible Risks and Side Effects
Though complications are rare when performed by a skilled provider, some patients may experience:
- Redness
- Mild pain or discomfort
- Temporary swelling
- Bruising
- Scarring
- Fragile or thin skin around the treatment area
Expected Results
Results vary depending on the severity of the skin condition. Most patients require multiple sessions—usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart initially—to achieve optimal results. Many notice improvements by their second or third treatment, with gradual enhancements continuing over time. Eventually, maintenance sessions may be scheduled every 8 to 12 weeks to sustain collagen growth.
Combining CoolTouch With Other Treatments
CoolTouch laser therapy can be safely combined with other procedures such as glycolic peels, microdermabrasion, or BOTOX® Cosmetic injections to maximize overall skin rejuvenation. Patients are also encouraged to follow a healthy skincare routine to maintain and enhance their results.
