Rejuvenate Your Skin From Within
The Tetra CO2 laser is an advanced skin resurfacing technology that uses controlled laser pulses to rejuvenate skin with minimal downtime. It delivers targeted energy to improve skin texture, stimulate collagen production, and address fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and pigmentation. The Tetra CO2 laser is unique in its versatility, allowing both mild and intensive treatments with the exclusive CoolPeel® technology for enhanced comfort. This makes it ideal for patients seeking smoother, healthier-looking skin without extensive downtime.
Tetra CO2 Laser Treats:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and surgical scars
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Skin laxity and crepey skin
- Brown spots and age spots
- Melasma and other pigment irregularities
How Does the Tetra CO2 Laser Work?
The Tetra CO2 laser rejuvenates the skin by emitting high-energy carbon dioxide laser pulses that penetrate the epidermis. These pulses create micro-injuries within the skin’s deeper layers, which stimulate a healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. Unlike traditional CO2 lasers, Tetra’s CoolPeel technology minimizes residual heat, reducing damage to surrounding tissues and allowing faster healing. This targeted, fractional approach safely improves skin texture, elasticity, and pigmentation by replacing damaged skin cells with fresh, new tissue, resulting in smoother, firmer skin with minimal downtime.
What Happens During Your Tetra CO2 Laser Treatment?
During your Tetra CO2 laser treatment, a trained provider applies a numbing cream to your skin for comfort. The laser handpiece then emits targeted pulses of CO2 energy to create micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production. The laser settings are adjusted to your skin type and concerns, ensuring a precise, controlled treatment. The entire procedure usually takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the treated area.

Tetra CO2 Laser FAQs
Are There Any Side Effects With the Tetra CO2 Laser?
Yes, you may experience mild side effects like redness, dryness, or a sunburn-like sensation, which typically resolves within a few days. Because the CoolPeel technology limits thermal damage, the risk of more serious side effects, like hyperpigmentation or scarring, is minimal.
How Much Downtime Should I Expect?
Downtime varies depending on the intensity of your treatment. With the CoolPeel setting, downtime is usually minimal—just a day or two of redness and mild peeling. For deeper treatments, you may need up to a week for full recovery.
What Aftercare Is Required Following Treatment?
After your treatment, clean and hydrate your skin, and use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 to protect your healing skin. Your provider may also recommend specific products to support recovery.
When Will I See the Results?
Initial improvements, like smoother texture and reduced redness, can be visible within a week. However, because the laser stimulates collagen production, your skin will continue to improve over several weeks to months as new collagen forms and firms the skin.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The Tetra CO2 laser results are long-lasting, often persisting for a year or more, especially when paired with a good skincare regimen and sun protection. Some patients choose to schedule annual maintenance treatments to prolong their results.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients benefit from one to three sessions about 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on your skin type, specific concerns, and desired results. Your provider will help you determine an optimal treatment plan.
