We are thrilled to offer two impressive laser options: the Tetra CoolPeel® and CO2 treatments. The CoolPeel® is an innovative way to safely and comfortably deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment. By targeting only the superficial layer of skin tissue, damaged skin is removed to reveal younger and healthier-looking skin with a series of treatments.
The CO2 laser treatment is an excellent choice to deliver more dramatic results. The CO2 laser allows for a high level of precision, control, and accuracy. It can drastically smooth scars, wrinkles, and other skin imperfections one layer of skin at a time. The benefit of the CO2 laser treatment is impressive, long-lasting results that can be achieved in only one to three treatments.

About CoolPeel® and CO2 Laser Treatments
The CO2 laser has long been the gold standard for treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes, as well as for tightening skin and balancing tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production as heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin. Depending on the depth of treatment, CO2 treatments can be accompanied by considerable downtime while damaged skin heals. Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of CO2 treatments, but only the CoolPeel® can deliver a fractional treatment with little to no downtime. Compared to traditional CO2 laser treatments, the risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation, or infection is minimal.
