CO2 CoolPeel & Fusion Laser in Plano, TX 

Skin Resurfacing with Minimal Downtime

What is CO2 Laser?

At Next Level Med Solutions in Plano, TX, we offer two advanced levels of CO2 laser resurfacing — CoolPeel and Fusion — allowing you to choose the level of treatment based on your skin goals, downtime and desired results.

CO2 lasers work by delivering controlled energy into the skin to remove damaged outer layers and stimulate collagen production. Ablative CO2 removes the top layer of skin, triggering deeper skin renewal and more dramatic results. Fractional CO2 (used in treatments like CoolPeel and Fusion) creates microscopic channels in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact, allowing for faster healing and reduced downtime.

Whether you're looking for a light refresh with minimal downtime or a more aggressive resurfacing treatment for deeper correction, our customized approach ensures you get results that are truly next level. The laser treatment is typically done with topical numbing or local anesthesia and the session lasts 30–90 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
