How can TetraPro help?

Coolpeel Technology

Tetra Pro features the revolutionary CoolPeel technology, which allows for highly precise and controlled CO2 laser treatments with minimal thermal damage. CoolPeel delivers the benefits of a traditional CO2 laser without the extended downtime, making it an excellent option for those seeking fast recovery and outstanding results. This innovative approach enhances skin texture, reduces fine lines, and minimizes pores while promoting overall skin health.

Classic Co2 Resurfacing

In addition to its advanced CoolPeel capabilities, Tetra Pro can also be used for significant CO2 resurfacing treatments. These treatments are ideal for addressing deeper skin concerns such as acne/surgical scarring, pronounced wrinkles, and significant sun damage. While these procedures may require longer downtime, they offer transformative results for those seeking a more intensive skin rejuvenation experience.

Treatment of Skin Lesions

The Tetra Pro can be used to target individual lesions such as warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, skin tags and actinic keratoses. The laser vaporises the superficial layers of the skin with controlled depth.

How it Works

Tetra Pro utilises CO2 laser technology to deliver precise energy to the skin’s deeper layers. This stimulates natural healing and collagen production while preserving the surrounding tissue, ensuring effective treatment with minimal discomfort.
