BENEFITS INCLUDE:

COLLAGEN REMODELING

The controlled injury caused by the laser stimulates the body's wound healing response. This response includes the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, which are essential components of healthy, youthful-looking skin. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned.

CUSTOMIZABLE

The Cartessa Tetra CO2 allows practitioners to customize the treatment settings according to the specific needs and concerns of each patient. This customization ensures that the treatment is tailored to the individual's skin type, condition, and desired outcomes.

LONG-LASTING

Tetra CO2 laser treatment is known for providing dramatic and long-lasting results with just one session. The effects can endure for an extended period, making it a cost-effective and efficient option for those seeking significant skin improvements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • CO2 laser resurfacing uses ablative laser resurfacing to target damaged skin cells for overall skin rejuvenation. It works by using a high-energy beam of light to remove layers of damaged or aged skin, prompting the body's natural healing process to promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

  • The laser energy ablates or vaporizes the top layers of the skin, removing damaged skin cells. This process also stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness. In addition to ablating the skin, the CO2 laser also generates heat within the deeper layers of the skin. This heat promotes collagen remodeling and contraction, resulting in tighter, smoother skin with improved texture and tone.

  • Many individuals experience significant improvement after just one session. The number of treatments required may vary depending on the severity of the skin concern and individual goals.

  • While discomfort varies from person to person, most individuals report feeling a mild stinging or warming sensation during the treatment. Immediately following the treatment, you will be red as if you have a sunburn, and you will have a feeling of warmth that will fade after the first few hours. Topical anesthetics are applied to minimize any potential discomfort.

  • The downtime with a DEKA CO2 treatment will vary depending upon the depth of treatment needed to obtain your desired results. After the treatment, your skin will feel dry and rough for the first week as it heals. Typically the DEKA CO2 ablative treatment requires 5-7 days of downtime. Your goals from the treatment and the corresponding downtime will be discussed during your pre-treatment consultation.

  • Tetra CO2 laser treatment can provide long-lasting results, with the effects enduring for an extended period. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain these results.
