Tetra CO₂ Laser

What is the Tetra CO₂ Laser?

The Tetra CO₂ Laser is a safe, advanced skin resurfacing treatment that helps refresh and rejuvenate your skin. By delivering precise laser energy to the skin, it stimulates collagen production and encourages natural healing. This improves skin texture, tone, and firmness, while reducing fine lines, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation.

Treatment Levels

The Tetra CO₂ Laser can be customized based on your skin goals:

Mild: Gentle resurfacing for light fine lines, minor texture irregularities, and subtle tone improvement. Minimal downtime.

Moderate: More intensive treatment for deeper wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven texture. A few days of redness and peeling may occur.

Aggressive: Strongest resurfacing for significant lines, scars, and texture concerns. Provides dramatic results but may require longer recovery.

Who is a Good Candidate?

The treatment is ideal for anyone looking to:

Smooth fine lines and wrinkles

Reduce sun damage or age spots

Improve uneven skin tone or texture

Tighten and firm the skin

A consultation with your provider can help determine the best treatment level for your skin.

What to Expect During Treatment

Duration: Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes depending on the treatment area and intensity.

Sensation: A gentle warming or mild sunburn-like feeling is common.

Comfort: A numbing cream is applied for your comfort. For patients receiving the aggressive treatment, Dr. Jones will administer an injectable numbing medication.

Recovery and Results

Downtime: Depends on the treatment level—mild has minimal downtime, moderate may cause redness and peeling for a few days, and aggressive may require longer healing.

Results: Notice smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin over the following weeks. Collagen production continues to improve skin over time.

Maintenance: Occasional follow-up treatments can help maintain results.
