Laser Season Is Here

Skin that has just had a laser treatment is more sensitive to the sun, and sun exposure during healing raises the risk of pigment changes. The shorter, lower-sun days of fall and winter make it much easier to keep treated skin protected while it recovers, which is why they are the classic season for CO2 laser and CoolPeel.

CoolPeel is the light pass: it skims the surface layer, calms dullness and fine lines, and heals in about a day or two, similar to a strong peel. Full CO2 resurfacing goes deeper for acne scarring, sun damage, and wrinkles a light pass will not reach, with more downtime in return. Your provider helps you choose the level that fits your skin and your calendar.

Rough or uneven texture, enlarged pores, sun damage and uneven pigmentation, fine lines and early wrinkles, and acne or surgical scars. It resurfaces the skin’s surface and rebuilds collagen underneath. No laser removes a scar completely, but it can make one meaningfully less noticeable.

Downtime scales with intensity. A CoolPeel means one to two days of redness and a gritty, mild-sunburn feeling, and most patients are back to normal the next day. Deeper resurfacing runs three days up to about two weeks depending on the setting. Your provider matches the level to how much recovery time you actually have.

Every CO2 laser and CoolPeel session at Nurture is NP-led and performed by a board-certified nurse practitioner in our Cherry Creek studio, and Meg Anguiano, FNP, performs CO2 laser and CoolPeel personally. Nothing is handed off to a technician.

Yes. Every new patient starts with a consultation so your provider can confirm your skin type, look at what is actually bothering you, and recommend the right treatment level before anything is booked. The consultation fee is credited toward the treatment you book.
