Tetra CO2 Laser

The SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser is one of the most advanced CO2 lasers, unlike other CO2 lasers, the Tetra CO2 offers a fully customizable skin resurfacing treatment called the DEKA. This treatment targets your skin concerns with tailored treatments to fit your individual lifestyle. The DEKA treatment can reduce, and in some cases eliminate, signs of aging for dramatically smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin.

DEKA treatments target:

• fine lines to deep wrinkles
• uneven pigmentation
• redness
• age spots
• acne scars
• sun damage
• dull skin
• texture
• dark under-eye circles
• sagging eyelids
• skin laxity

CO2 lasers have been the gold standard in treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes as well as tightening skin and balancing skin tone. Unfortunately, traditional CO2 lasers have been associated with pain, prolonged downtimes and high risk of depigmentation and scarring.

Older CO2 devices are fully ablative, meaning they completely remove the skin’s surface—and they’re still being used by physicians today. Most aesthetic doctors have replaced old hardcore CO2 lasers with newer, fractional CO2 lasers. Newer fractional CO2 lasers burn in a more controlled pixelated pattern. This pixelated pattern creates pinpoint wounds surrounded by untouched skin to dramatically speed healing, maintaining skin’s healthy pigment and reducing the risk of depigmentation and scarring.

Tetra is amongst the newest and most advanced CO2 lasers. It features more settings to customize the intensity, depth and shape of the laser energy. This means your treatment is more precise, optimizing results, minimizing side effects and unnecessary downtime.

During a free consultation, we can help determine if the Tetra CO2 laser is safe and right for your skin and develop a treatment plan.

Depending upon your desired results, your DEKA treatment can be a more intense treatment with longer downtime or a more superficial treatment with minimal downtime. The results are visible as new collagen forms and elastin is tightened for long-lasting benefits and the radiant results you desire.
