Our CO2 laser emits short pulses of high-energy light that are absorbed by water molecules in the skin. This process heats and vaporizes the targeted skin cells, removing them layer by layer. As the treated area heals, new skin forms, which is typically smoother, tighter, and more even in tone and texture.
At our offices in Glenview & Highland Park Tetra CO2 Laser Resurfacing is a versatile treatment designed to tackle a variety of skin concerns. Whether you're dealing with fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, or uneven skin texture, this innovative procedure can help rejuvenate your appearance. Additionally, it effectively treats issues like acne scars and hyperpigmentation, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful glow. The aesthetics issues that can be addressed with Tetra CO2 Laser Resurfacing include:
Tetra CO2 Laser Resurfacing provides noticeable results with minimal downtime, making it ideal for those seeking to rejuvenate their skin without the need for invasive procedures. Targeting specific skin issues helps restore a youthful, radiant appearance. General benefits include:
Patients can typically expect to see noticeable improvements in their skin within a few weeks after the procedure. The full benefits, including smoother texture and reduced imperfections, usually become evident after a few months as collagen continues to rebuild. The results are long-lasting, often providing a refreshed appearance for years with proper skincare.
Post-treatment care is crucial to achieving the best results with Tetra CO2 Laser Resurfacing. Patients may experience redness and swelling for a few days, similar to a mild sunburn. It's essential to keep the treated area moisturized and to avoid direct sun exposure. Makeup can usually be applied after a few days, but it's best to follow your provider's specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
