Everything You Need to Know

How It Works

Using controlled laser energy, the Tetra Pro CO₂ gently removes the top layer of damaged skin while stimulating collagen production in deeper layers. This dual action helps improve tone, texture, and firmness while jumpstarting your skin’s natural renewal process.

Because the energy delivery is so precise, we can treat delicate areas and diverse skin types with confidence and care.
