How Does CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
CO2 laser skin resurfacing utilizes the power of carbon dioxide lasers to rejuvenate the skin. Here is a detailed look at how it works:
Mechanism of Action- The CO2 laser emits a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin’s surface. This light is absorbed by the water in the skin cells, causing the cells to vaporize. This process removes the damaged outer layers of the skin, promoting healthier skin regeneration underneath.
Stimulation of Collagen Production- As the laser removes the outer layers of skin, it also stimulates the production of collagen, a vital protein for more youthful skin structure and elasticity. Increased collagen production helps firm and smooth the skin, leading to long-term skin texture and appearance improvement.
What Are the Benefits of Tetra PRO CO2 with CoolPeel®?
The Tetra PRO CO2 laser system offers numerous benefits, here are some key treatment advantages of the device.
Customization- The Tetra PRO features Pulse Shape Design (PSD™) technology, which allows complete control over CO2 duration, energy, and pulse shape. This flexibility ensures that treatments can be tailored for everything from superficial skin resurfacing to deeper ablation for more pronounced wrinkles and scars.
Versatility and Speed- Equipped with four emission modes for different treatment needs. Integrated technology allows for a reduction in treatment time by 30%
Minimal Downtime- The CoolPeel technology allows for lighter treatment where needed and avoids unnecessary thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
Who Are the Good Candidates for Tetra Pro CO2 with CoolPeel®?
Candidates for the Tetra PRO laser treatments include individuals looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone and texture. The treatment is particularly beneficial for busy individuals or those with sensitive skin areas such as around the eyes and mouth. A consultation will determine individual suitability for treatment.
What to Expect During Tetra PRO CO2 with CoolPeel®
Before treatment, numbing cream is applied to numb the skin and make treatment more comfortable. Laser treatment can take anywhere from 15-45 minutes depending on the depth and strength of treatment as well as size of the area being treated. Patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from a Tetra PRO laser treatment varies depending on the specific procedure performed. For CoolPeel® treatments, downtime is minimal, allowing patients to quickly return to their daily activities. Results are often visible shortly after the treatment, with improvements in fine lines, sun damage, pore size, and overall skin tone and texture. Deeper ablations or more extensive treatments may require a longer recovery period, but the advanced technology of the Tetra PRO ensures optimal healing and impressive results.
