What Is Tetra PRO?

Tetra PRO is a CO2 laser technology designed to deliver effective skin rejuvenation. Whether diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, evening skin tone and texture, or restoring skin radiance, this laser treats your unique skin concerns with precision.

How It Works

Tetra PRO is a customizable treatment allowing your provider to precisely control the laser’s intensity, depth, and energy delivery. This laser treatment offers results from a subtle refresh to a full resurfacing treatment, all while minimizing downtime.

Tetra PRO FAQs

What does Tetra PRO treat?

Tetra PRO helps you achieve visibly healthier, refreshed skin, targeting the following skin conditions:

  • Fine lines to deep wrinkles
  • Uneven pigmentation & redness
  • Age spots & sun damage
  • Scars
  • Skin tone & texture
  • Dark undereye circles
  • Skin laxity

What makes Tetra PRO unique?

While traditional CO₂ lasers often require significant downtime during the skin’s healing process, Tetra PRO is unique because of its advanced SmartPulse™ technology. This allows your provider to precisely control how much energy is delivered during the treatment. The flexibility and customizability of the Tetra PRO makes it an ideal laser treatment for your skin type and tone.

Can Tetra PRO treat areas beyond the face?

Tetra PRO treatments aren’t just for the face. This laser can also treat:

  • Neck & décolletage
  • Hands
  • Back
  • Scars and stretch marks

Is the treatment painful?

During the treatment, you may feel heat and a mild stinging sensation. A topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand.

What can I expect post-treatment?

After a Tetra PRO treatment, your skin may appear red or warm for a few days. There is no need for concern as this is a natural part of the healing process while new, healthy skin emerges. Because the treatment can be customized to your skin, your provider will guide you through your specific post-treatment care to ensure optimal results.

How long is the downtime?

After your treatment, the downtime can range from 5-10 days or longer depending on the intensity of the treatment.

How many treatments are needed for results?

Most patients see significant improvement after one treatment, but depending on your goals and skin condition, a series of treatments may be recommended. This will be discussed with your provider before the treatment.

What Is CoolPeel?

CoolPeel is an award-winning CO2 laser treatment designed to refresh and rejuvenate the skin while offering little to no downtime compared to traditional CO2 resurfacing treatments. This skin resurfacing treatment is best for treating fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin tone and texture, enlarged pores, and acne scars. It’s the gold standard to reduce early signs of aging.

CoolPeel vs. Tetra PRO

Both treatments are performed with the Tetra PRO laser, but each has its own benefits.

CoolPeel

Superficial resurfacing treatment

Targets texture, pores, and mild wrinkles

Little to no downtime

Tetra PRO

Provides deeper dermal resurfacing

Targets serious wrinkles, acne scars, laxity, and severe sun damage

Typically requires more recovery time

CoolPeel FAQs

Am I a good candidate for CoolPeel?

If you’re looking to smooth fine lines, diminish sun damage, shrink enlarged pores, or give your skin a refreshed look, CoolPeel is the treatment for you. It is safe for all skin types with minimal downtime.

How long does a treatment take?

A full-face CoolPeel laser treatment can take 5-15 minutes; therefore, it is a fairly quick procedure for the benefits it provides.

How do I prepare for my CoolPeel treatment?

You should avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and harsh exfoliants for a few days prior to your treatment. During your consultation, your provider will discuss any other pre-treatment guidelines based on your skin and treatment plan.

Is anesthesia or numbing required?

While there is no need for anesthesia and localized numbing, your provider may apply topical numbing cream for additional comfort.

How soon will I see results?

Many patients notice an improvement in skin glow and texture after one treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks. A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments will depend on your treatment goals. Typically 3-5 treatments are recommended, with each treatment spaced 4 week apart. Your provider will customize a treatment plan that is best for you.

What can I expect post-treatment?

While there is minimal to no downtime, you should expect to be a little red for 1-2 days after your CoolPeel treatment. Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals, so it is important to keep your skin hydrated.

You provider will give you specific aftercare instructions, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities.
