CoolLift
CoolLift (also called CooLifting) is a non-invasive facial that sprays a cold, high-pressure jet of medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO2) and active serums, such as hyaluronic acid, onto the skin. It takes about 30 minutes, uses no needles or laser, needs no downtime, and leaves skin looking hydrated, brighter and firmer straight away. At EliteSkin, a doctor-led clinic at Marble Arch Medical Centre, 217 Edgware Road, London W2, a session costs £130.
CoolLift at a glance
What is a CoolLift facial?
CoolLift, also known as CooLifting, is a CO2 cryo facial. A handheld device delivers carbon dioxide at low temperature and high pressure, combined with a serum chosen for your skin. It is a cosmetic skin treatment, not an injectable, so there is no filler, no toxin and nothing that breaks the skin.It is often called the “red carpet” or “lunch-break” facial because results show straight away and there is no recovery time.
How does the CO2 cryo facial work?
CoolLift works in three ways at once:
-
Cold effect: the CO2 cools the skin quickly, which helps it look tighter and less puffy.
-
Circulation boost: as the skin rewarms, blood flow increases, giving a fresh, healthy glow.
-
Serum delivery: the pressure of the spray helps active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, absorb into the upper layers of the skin.
The result is skin that looks plumper, smoother and more radiant, with no redness or peeling afterwards.
CoolLift vs CO2 laser vs carboxytherapy: what’s the difference?
All three use carbon dioxide, but they are very different treatments. CoolLift is the only one with no needles, no laser and no downtime.

-
CO2 application: the CoolLift device is passed over the face, neck and décolletage. You feel a cold, fizzing sensation, not pain.
