Cartessa Tetra Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Transform your skin with the gold standard in laser skin rejuvenation.
Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing with the
Cartessa Tetra CO2 laser is our most advanced skin resurfacing treatment, designed to dramatically improve the appearance of deep wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, enlarged pores, skin laxity, and overall skin texture.
Using the Cartessa Tetra’s exclusive
H-Pulse™ technology, the laser creates thousands of precise microscopic treatment zones while leaving healthy surrounding tissue intact. This fractional approach stimulates an extensive collagen and elastin remodeling response, allowing the skin to heal more efficiently while producing smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin. The Tetra’s advanced technology also minimizes unnecessary thermal damage compared to traditional CO2 lasers, promoting more precise treatments and improved healing.
Fractional CO2 is ideal for treating:- Moderate to deep wrinkles
- Acne and surgical scars
- Significant sun damage
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
- Rough skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Skin laxity and crepey skin
- Overall facial rejuvenation
What to expect during treatment: A topical numbing cream is applied approximately
30–45 minutes before treatment, and additional comfort measures are available when needed. During the procedure, you’ll feel warmth and a prickling sensation as the laser precisely resurfaces the skin. Most full-face treatments take approximately
30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and level of correction.
After your treatment: Following treatment, your skin will feel warm and appear red, similar to a moderate sunburn. Swelling is common during the first
24–72 hours, followed by bronzing, peeling, and new skin renewal over the next
7–10 days. Redness may gradually fade over several weeks as your skin continues to heal. Improvements continue for
3–6 months as new collagen forms, revealing smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin.

Please note: Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing requires more downtime than CoolPeel® but delivers more dramatic improvement for advanced signs of aging, acne scarring, and sun damage.
