Achieve Glass Skin with our Tetra CO2 Laser Resurfacing Treatment
The Tetra CO2 laser is the gold standard for treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes as well as tightening skin and balancing tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production as heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin. Whether you want to reduce wrinkles, minimize scars, or achieve a more even complexion, Tetra CO₂ delivers remarkable results.
What is Tetra CO₂ Laser Treatment?
Tetra CO₂ is a fractional carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser that works by removing layers of damaged skin to reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath. Unlike traditional CO₂ lasers, Tetra is more precise and customizable, making it a safer and more effective option for patients seeking dramatic improvements in skin tone, texture, and elasticity. This service can be adjusted per patient and the downtime varies depending on how deep the treatment goes.
Benefits of Tetra CO₂ Laser Treatment
Tetra CO₂ laser treatment is an excellent option for addressing a variety of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles – Stimulates collagen production to smooth out wrinkles and restore skin elasticity.
Sun damage and pigmentation – Reduces age spots, sunspots, and hyperpigmentation for a more even skin tone.
Acne scars and other scars – Helps fade acne scars, surgical scars, and other imperfections.
Uneven skin texture – Improves rough patches and skin irregularities.
Large pores – Shrinks enlarged pores for a smoother complexion.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
The Tetra CO₂ laser treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Before the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The laser then delivers controlled energy pulses to the skin, triggering collagen remodeling and natural healing. Cool air with our Zimmer machine is blown on the treated area to keep patient comfortable during treatment.
After the treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation for up to a week. Severe swelling is typical and the body's natural response to the trauma made to the skin. Most patients see noticeable results within a week, with continued improvement over 3-6 months as collagen production increases.
