Tetra CO2 is the deeper, more aggressive cousin of CoolPeel and the gold-standard resurfacing laser in aesthetic medicine. The Tetra creates thousands of microscopic columns of controlled injury in the skin, which signals your body to replace damaged tissue with new, organized collagen and elastin. The result is a meaningful, multi-year reduction in wrinkles, sun spots, scarring, and skin laxity.
A Tetra CO2 treatment is performed under topical anesthesia and takes about 60 minutes including numbing. Expect 5 to 7 days of pinkness, peeling, and tightness as the new skin reveals itself, followed by weeks to months of progressive collagen-driven improvement. Most clients schedule a single annual treatment for ongoing rejuvenation; deeper scarring or sun damage may require a series.
