What Is Tetra CO2 CoolPeel®?
This procedure uses the SmartXide Tetra CO2® laser to provide controlled ablative resurfacing. It removes the outermost layer of damaged cells while triggering remodeling of the underlying tissue.
What distinguishes this technology from traditional CO2 laser resurfacing is its heat delivery management. Older systems often impact surrounding skin, leading to longer recovery times. The Tetra CO2 system uses high-peak-power, short pulses to ablate the surface precisely while minimizing thermal spread. This results in a recovery window of days rather than weeks.
Benefits of Tetra CO2 CoolPeel®:
This laser skin resurfacing provides several key improvements to the health and appearance of your skin.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Targeting the surface layer and supporting collagen production helps soften signs of aging.
- Improves Skin Texture: Removes damaged, irregular surface cells and supports a smoother, more even skin surface.
- Minimizes Pore Appearance: Resurfacing and collagen contraction reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
- Diminishes Acne Scars: Controlled ablation breaks up scar tissue and supports organized collagen formation in its place.
- Evens Skin Tone: Removes pigmented surface cells and supports more consistent melanin distribution.
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Thermal energy triggers fibroblast activity, which continues to build collagen for months post-treatment.
- Corrects Sun-Damaged Skin: Directly targets photodamaged surface cells for visible improvement in sun-related discoloration and texture.
- Minimal Downtime: Recovery is measured in days, not weeks, compared to traditional ablative CO2 treatments.
How Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Works
Consultation
Your provider evaluates your skin concerns, skin type, and treatment history to determine whether this treatment is appropriate and to build a personalized protocol. Areas of concern, treatment depth, and session frequency are all confirmed before any treatment begins.
Treatment
The SmartXide Tetra CO2® laser is applied to the treatment area in a controlled pattern. The high-peak-power pulses precisely ablate the superficial skin layer, removing damaged cells while triggering a collagen response in the underlying dermis. It typically takes 15 to 30 minutes to complete a session, depending on the area treated.
Results
Initial redness and mild changes in skin texture are expected in the days following treatment as the skin heals. Visible improvement in texture and tone appears as the skin renews. After treatment, collagen remodeling continues for several months, with progressive improvements in firmness and smoothness.
Skin Concerns Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Can Improve
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Surface ablation removes the damaged outer skin layer where fine lines are most visible. The collagen stimulation triggered beneath the surface promotes collagen renewal, resulting in firmer-looking skin that continues to improve in the weeks and months following each session.
Acne Scars
Depressed acne scars involve disrupted collagen beneath the skin’s surface. Ablative resurfacing removes the irregular surface texture and triggers the formation of organized collagen in its place. This is a measurable, advanced option for improving acne scars over a series of sessions.
Enlarged Pores
Enlarged pores result from a combination of congestion and reduced collagen support around the pore opening. Resurfacing and the resulting collagen contraction reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, supporting a more refined skin surface. This is a direct reduction of enlarged pores and skin irregularities .
Uneven Skin Tone
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, and general discoloration are addressed by ablating the pigmented surface cells. As new skin forms, tone becomes more consistent. Skin texture improvement and tone correction often develop together following treatment.
Sun Damage and Age Spots
Eastern NC’s year-round intense sun creates cumulative photodamage that shows up as dark spots, rough skin texture, and dull skin. This treatment corrects visible sun-damaged skin by removing photodamaged cells and triggering fresh skin renewal in their place.
