What Is the Tetra Pro CO2 Laser?

The Tetra Pro CO2 laser is a fractional ablative laser that uses focused beams of light to remove damaged skin cells layer by layer while heating the deeper tissue beneath. That heat triggers your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, more even-toned skin. What makes the Tetra Pro different from older CO2 lasers is its versatility: the same device can be adjusted to deliver an intensive corrective treatment for more advanced concerns, or a gentle, comfortable treatment with next to no recovery time. At Pure Body Benefits, we offer both.

Tetra CO2 Resurfacing: Intensive Corrective Treatment

For deeper wrinkles, pitted acne or surgical scars, significant sun damage, and noticeable skin laxity, our intensive Tetra CO2 resurfacing treatment delivers dramatic, long-lasting correction. Higher energy pulses reach deeper into the skin, remodeling damaged tissue and stimulating a substantial collagen rebuild over the following months. Because this treatment works more aggressively, it comes with a longer recovery, but many patients see significant improvement after just one or two sessions.

This treatment can help with:

• Deep, etched wrinkles and fine lines
• Acne scars and surgical scars
• Significant sun damage and pigmentation
• Uneven texture and skin laxity

CoolPeel: The Gentle, No-Downtime CO2 Peel

CoolPeel® delivers the same fractional CO2 energy in extremely short, high-powered pulses, so it treats only the outermost layer of skin without generating the heat buildup that causes traditional CO2 downtime. The result is a comfortable, quick treatment, a full face takes less than 10 minutes, with redness that typically resolves in one to three days, similar to a mild sunburn. CoolPeel has been recognized as NewBeauty’s Best CO2 Laser Treatment multiple years running, and it’s become a favorite for patients who want real results without stepping away from their normal routine.

CoolPeel can help with:

• Fine lines and early signs of aging
• Uneven tone, texture, and enlarged pores
• Mild sun damage and discoloration
• Softening the look of acne scars

Which Treatment Is Right for You?

Every skin story is different, which is why every Tetra Pro treatment at Pure Body Benefits starts with a one-on-one consultation. Our team will evaluate your skin, talk through your goals and your schedule, and recommend the intensity that fits, whether that’s a single corrective session, a CoolPeel series, or a combination of both over time. We’ll also let you know how the Tetra Pro can be paired with treatments like injectables or RF microneedling to round out your results.
