Updates in Laser Resurfacing: No More Hiding Out After Treatment

How can I look younger?  What can I do about lines and wrinkles?  Skin tone and texture? I hear these questions every day, and I am excited to have some new answers.  Laser resurfacing may be a solution.   Laser resurfacing triggers the body to create collagen, rejuvenating the skin.  Today’s newest lasers, such as Tetra CO2, offer great results, with minimal downtime and minimal discomfort. 

During my 15 years as an Aesthetician, I can say that the new Resurfacing Lasers offer superior results, with less damage to the skin.  My personal favorite is the Tetra CO2 with Cool Peel technology.  New Beauty magazine has named it “Best Laser” for the last two years in a row for effectiveness.   I see this laser as the Gold Standard for skin rejuvenation.  

What Is Tetra CO2?

The science is clear, laser resurfacing heats deeper into the skin’s layers, promoting the body’s healing process with less excess damage. Tetra allows us to customize the setting (depth) of the treatments based on the client’s specific needs.  Tetra CO2 also features shorter exposure times than the old lasers.  Less exposure means less downtime and less discomfort with great skin rejuvenation.  

Typically, we would recommend a package of three treatments of the Tetra, but each client’s skin can vary, and your aesthetician should design a package specific to your needs.  

Tetra pairs well with other procedures.  We offer the “Wow Lift”, a same-day treatment that combines the Tetra CO2 with RadioFrequency and Microneedling devices such as Virtue and Vivace.  With multiple modalities of energy and treatment, the result is immediate, resulting in tighter and brighter skin.
