Unlocking the Power of Tetra CO2 Laser Treatments for Summer Skin Prep

Blog Home

Excited for summer but less than happy about the way your skin looks? At Ballert Medical Aesthetics, we offer the Tetra CO2 laser system that can completely rejuvenate your skin and give you the flawless complexion you’ve been dreaming of. But what exactly is it, and how does it work? Let’s take a look at this innovative laser treatment.

What is a Tetra CO2 Laser Treatment?

The Tetra CO2 laser treatment uses a one-of-a-kind fractional ablative Co2 laser system that can completely rejuvenate your skin. It works by precisely heating the skin to kickstart the body’s natural healing process and stimulating collagen and elastin production. And while it’s an ablative laser, it comes with much less downtime than other similar treatments. 

Some of the skin concerns the Tetra CO2 laser can treat include:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Enlarged pores
  • Acne scars
  • Sagging skin

Who is a Candidate for the Tetra CO2 Laser?

Most patients who come through our doors in Paducah, KY are good candidates for Tetra CO2 laser treatment, but there are some criteria we look for that can make some people better candidates than others. Ideal candidates should meet the following specifications: 

  • In generally good health
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Not pregnant
  • Struggling with visible signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles and/or sagging skin
  • Have hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or age spots
  • Struggling with acne scars
  • Have dull, uneven skin you’re looking to rejuvenate

Demystifying Tetra CO2 Laser Treatment

As with many cosmetic treatments, there are quite a few myths about the Tetra CO2 laser treatment and laser treatments in general. Let’s debunk a few of these myths so you know the truth about this innovative laser system.

Myth: Laser treatment is extremely painful and dangerous

Contrary to popular belief, Tetra CO2 Laser treatment is a relatively comfortable process. Most patients tolerate it very well, but a topical numbing agent is available if needed. Because the Tetra CO2 specifically works to limit downtime, it causes much less discomfort than other laser treatment options.  

Myth: One session is enough

While you’ll notice a significant difference after your first treatment, multiple sessions are recommended to see optimal results. Dr. Ballert provides a tailored plan that best suits your skin’s needs and the results you’re looking to achieve.

Myth: Laser treatments require a long recovery period

While some laser treatments require a significant downtime, that’s not the case with the Tetra CO2 laser system. It was specifically designed to ensure you can get back to your normal routine quicker and have fewer side effects. At most, it takes about a week before the skin is healed, and most of the redness goes away.
