CoolPeel laser at 101 Harley Street is a refined approach to skin resurfacing, designed to enhance texture, tone and overall radiance while maintaining minimal downtime.
CoolPeel uses an advanced CO₂ laser platform to deliver short, precisely controlled pulses of energy to the skin’s surface. This selectively removes damaged outer layers while stimulating collagen production beneath, supporting skin renewal and improving overall quality.
Unlike traditional CO₂ laser resurfacing, CoolPeel avoids excessive heat accumulation. This enables visible improvements in texture and tone while reducing inflammation, discomfort and recovery time. Each treatment is individually tailored following a detailed consultation, ensuring laser parameters are appropriate for your skin type, concerns and lifestyle.
At 101 Harley Street, CoolPeel is never considered a standalone procedure. Every patient undergoes a comprehensive consultation to assess skin health, medical history, downtime tolerance and long-term aesthetic objectives.
Dr Duncan Brennand works closely with the wider clinical team to ensure treatments are carefully planned and, where appropriate, integrated into a broader skin strategy. CoolPeel may be combined with medical-grade skincare or injectable treatments as part of a considered, progressive approach to skin optimisation rather than isolated correction.

Doctor Dan Wright is not only one of the kindest and nicest human beings you could ever meet he’s one of the most professional. At every stage of my procedure I felt reassured and in very safe hands. I would not normally post a review of anything that isn’t a restaurant or a barber but I felt compelled to here because my experience was so wonderful. Fantastic stuff. Brilliant.
I recently had surgery at 101 Harley Street and was impressed by the level of care and professionalism displayed by the entire team. I was greeted with friendly staff which immediately made me feel comforted, and this genuine care continued throughout the entire journey. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking quality medical care.
Dr Dan and his team at 101 are exceptional. I was made to feel so comfortable and relaxed during my procedure and everything is done with the highest level of professionalism. Can’t recommend them enough!
Staff were all extremely kind and thoughtful all through the process. I always come away feeling like I’ve had the best chat with good friends over a delicious coffee in a gorgeous spot. And all the while… also leaving with healthier skin. I’ve loved working with Emma and Duncan and everyone else at 101!
I had a procedure recently at 101 and I’m so happy with how it went! The staff and the consultant were super friendly and made me feel safe and welcome. The results of my procedure are fantastic and I will recommend to all of my friends and family.
The face is the most commonly treated area and responds particularly well to CoolPeel resurfacing. Treatment can be tailored to address:
Fine lines and early wrinkles
Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
Dullness and loss of radiance
Mild pigmentation irregularities and sun damage
Specific facial zones such as the cheeks, forehead, peri-orbital (around the eyes) and peri-oral (around the mouth) can be treated selectively, allowing refinement of high-movement or high-exposure areas without the recovery associated with traditional CO₂ resurfacing.
The neck is a delicate area that often shows early signs of ageing due to thinner skin and cumulative sun exposure. CoolPeel can be used to improve skin quality, texture and tone, helping to soften fine lines and restore a smoother, more even appearance while respecting the sensitivity of this region.
CoolPeel is well suited to the décolletage, where sun damage, uneven pigmentation and textural changes are common. Treatment can improve overall skin clarity and surface quality, contributing to a more refreshed and uniform appearance across the upper chest.
The hands are frequently overlooked but can reveal significant signs of ageing and photo-damage. CoolPeel can be used to refine skin texture, improve tone and reduce the appearance of sun-related changes, supporting a more youthful and healthier appearance.
Downtime following CoolPeel is minimal compared with traditional CO₂ resurfacing. Most patients resume normal activities within 24 to 72 hours. Aftercare focuses on gentle skincare, adequate moisturisation and strict sun protection to support healing and optimise results.
Detailed aftercare guidance is provided by the 101 Harley Street team to ensure recovery is comfortable, discreet and safe.

CoolPeel laser is an advanced CO₂ skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone and radiance while minimising downtime. It refreshes the skin’s surface while stimulating collagen renewal beneath.
CoolPeel targets only the superficial layers of the skin using controlled pulses of energy, avoiding excessive heat. This allows effective resurfacing with reduced redness, discomfort and recovery time compared with traditional CO₂ lasers.
CoolPeel laser is generally well tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and most patients describe the sensation as mild warmth or gentle prickling.
CoolPeel is commonly used to improve fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, dull skin tone and mild sun damage. It is ideal for patients seeking refinement rather than aggressive resurfacing.
A CoolPeel session typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area and settings used.
Downtime is usually minimal. Most patients experience redness and mild dryness or flaking for one to three days before the skin settles.
Initial improvements in smoothness and brightness are often visible within the first week, with continued improvement over several weeks as collagen production increases.
Many patients achieve noticeable improvement with a single treatment. A second session may be recommended after four to eight weeks for enhanced results, depending on individual goals.
Each member of our team of friendly, welcoming and highly skilled nurses and administrative staff has been individually chosen for their compassion, enthusiasm and dedication to providing our patients and medical staff with an unparalleled level of care.
