Your skin is your body’s outward appearance of health to the world. Laser resurfacing can boost your skin like no other treatment: by removing the top layer of skin, discoloration, damage, scarring, and uneven texture are all but eliminated. But despite these benefits, many patients are wary of the treatment because it comes with an arduous recovery period—but not with the Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser.
This device offers all of the benefits of traditional fractional lasers with minimal downtime and recovery. At Capitis Medical & Aesthetics, we proudly offer this versatile laser resurfacing treatment at our San Diego location to give the best of both worlds with remarkable results and minimal recovery.
What Is Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser?
The Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser is a fractional treatment for various skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots, acne scars, and more.
The laser technology used in this treatment is based on carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, which produces a specific wavelength of light that can deeply penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production. This results in a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
What Are the Benefits of the Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser?
For a remarkable laser resurfacing treatment without a lengthy and uncomfortable recovery, the Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser is the only choice. The Tetra CO2 targets the superficial layer of the skin, removing older, damaged skin and revealing glowing, fresh skin underneath.
The Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser can improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and age spots
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scarring
- Uneven tone and texture
- Crepey and lax skin
And, of course, the most popular benefit is the laser’s limited recovery period. Fractional lasers have been around for a while, offering similar results by removing the top layer of skin. The Tetra provides all these benefits without causing the patient extensive discomfort or inconvenience.
How Long Is Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser Treatment Recovery?
Immediately following treatment, your skin may be red, warm, and rough to the touch. You will be sent home with a topical antibiotic or moisturizer to protect your skin for the first few hours after treatment.
Perhaps the most significant benefit of the Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser is that it offers transformational results with minimal downtime. Following the procedure, your skin will shed, with some roughness, slight scabbing, and peeling. You may also experience some redness that looks like a sunburn, but most patients only go through this recovery period for two days.
How Much Do Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser Treatments Cost?
The Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser cost in San Diego, CA, will depend on the number of treatments, the size of the treatment area, and the amount of necessary revision. At Capitis Medical & Aesthetics, no two treatment plans are the same, so for an accurate cost estimate, we must first provide a consultation and create a custom plan for you.
When Will I See the Results of My Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser Treatment?
Most patients will see results after recovery, so around two days post-treatment. After the dead, damaged layer of skin peels, you can see your final results: smooth, more even, and glowing skin.
Some patients may require multiple sessions, depending on the severity of their conditions.
Am I a Candidate for the Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser?
Candidates for the Tetra CO2 laser want to improve their skin’s texture, tone, and condition through a comprehensive skin resurfacing treatment. Candidates should also be generally in good health and not have any active skin lesions or cold sores.
The Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® may not be suitable for all skin tones, however, as the heat from the treatment may cause patients with darker skin tones to experience post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

How Are Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Laser Treatments Performed?
Tetra CO2 CoolPeel® Treatments are performed in the office and usually take 45 minutes to an hour. Your provider will prepare your treatment area by applying a topical anesthetic to ensure maximum comfort. You may be asked to arrive at your appointment early to allow the anesthetic to numb the area, which can take 30 to 45 minutes. Once the area is sufficiently numbed, your provider will begin treatment.
Depending on your predetermined treatment plan, your laser technician will pass the device across your skin to address your concerns. The laser will use heat to cause micro-injuries across the skin, leaving parts unharmed in a grid-like pattern. This technique allows less trauma to the surrounding tissue, resulting in a quicker recovery. Once your treatment is over, your technician may apply a soothing moisturizer, antibiotic cream, or sunscreen to your treatment area.
