Tetra CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

Two approaches, tailored to your skin: CoolPeel for a lighter resurfacing treatment with minimal downtime, or fully ablative CO₂ resurfacing for more intensive results and recovery.

PERSONALIZED AESTHETIC CARE

Choose the right level of skin resurfacing.

At Cosmetica, our Tetra CO₂ laser offers two distinct treatment approaches. CoolPeel is a gentler option designed to refresh skin texture with relatively little downtime and can be considered across skin tones after an individualized evaluation. Fully ablative CO₂ is a more intensive resurfacing option, often planned as a single comprehensive treatment, with longer recovery and stricter skin-type eligibility.

CoolPeel · minimal downtime

CoolPeel is our lighter CO₂ resurfacing option for fine lines, uneven texture, and sun-related skin changes. For full results, we recommend a series of 3 CoolPeel sessions. Most patients experience redness and a dry or sandpaper-like texture for several days. It may be suitable for a broad range of skin types and tones, but every patient requires a consultation because pigment changes and other laser risks remain possible.

Fully Ablative CO₂ · intensive resurfacing

Our fully ablative option treats the skin more deeply and aggressively for more significant texture concerns and visible signs of aging. It is typically approached as a one-session resurfacing treatment, although results and the need for future treatment vary. Recovery is substantially longer than CoolPeel, and it is appropriate only for selected skin types and candidates because of risks including prolonged redness, pigment changes, and scarring.

TWO TREATMENT OPTIONS

CoolPeel or Fully Ablative CO₂?

LIGHTER RESURFACING

CoolPeel

Refresh the look of fine lines, pores, and uneven skin texture with a gentler approach.

Downtime: Generally limited, with a few days of redness or roughness.

Skin types: May be considered for all skin tones following careful assessment and customized settings.

Treatment plan: A series of 3 CoolPeel sessions is recommended for full results.

DEEPER RESURFACING

Fully Ablative CO₂

A more intensive treatment for pronounced texture concerns, lines, and sun-related skin damage.

Downtime: Significantly more healing time and aftercare than CoolPeel.

Skin types: Limited to appropriately selected candidates; not suitable for every skin tone or skin condition.

Treatment plan: Often performed as a one-and-done session, though outcomes and future needs vary.

Your provider will review your skin type, pigmentation risk, medical history, goals, and recovery expectations before recommending a treatment. No laser treatment is risk-free or guaranteed to be appropriate for everyone.

CO₂ LASER RESURFACING

Refine texture with Tetra CoolPeel

CoolPeel uses fractional CO₂ laser energy to treat portions of the skin surface. It is often considered for the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and sun-related changes, with settings selected for your skin and goals.

Is CoolPeel right for you?

Your provider evaluates your skin type, pigmentation history, recent sun exposure and skincare products. Some skin types or conditions may require a different approach or additional preparation.

During treatment

The skin is cleansed and laser energy is delivered in a controlled pattern. The sensation and downtime depend on treatment settings and individual skin response.

Recovery and precautions

Redness, warmth, dryness and a rough texture may occur as skin heals. Laser resurfacing also carries risks such as infection, scarring and pigment changes. Follow post-procedure skincare and strict sun-protection instructions.
