Fractionated Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing

Smooth and Tighten Your Skin’s Texture

Fractionated ablative laser resurfacing stimulates collagen production to reveal refreshed, younger-looking skin.

What Equipment is Used?

DEKA SmartXide CoolPeel

CoolPeel is an ideal way to deliver the benefits of a traditional CO2 resurfacing treatment safely and comfortably. By targeting the superficial layer of the skin, younger and healthier-looking skin can be revealed. 

  • A CoolPeel laser treatment is done with the Tetra CO2 laser, which has the precision and control to deliver energy at the right depth and speed for superficial skin resurfacing results without the deeper heat.
  • CoolPeel provides a gentler alternative with significantly less downtime than traditional CO2 lasers.

DEKA SmartXide Tetra

Tetra is a CO2 laser that offers fully-customizable skin resurfacing to eliminate aging signs like wrinkles, uneven texture and acne scars for dramatically smoother, brighter, younger-looking skin. 

  • Tetra features more operating settings so providers can better customize the intensity, depth and coverage of the laser energy.
  • Tetra treatments can be performed in more mild settings which we refer to as “Weekend Tetra” or with stronger settings which we refer to as “Full Strength” Tetra depending on the amount of downtime a patient is able to undergo. 
  • Compared to CoolPeel, Tetra treatments utilize a heat component that is necessary for deeper skin concerns such as laxity or more significant textural concerns including deeper wrinkles and moderate to severe acne scarring. 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Will I Be Like Afterwards? 

Downtime is dependent on the type of treatment performed. It can range from a couple days of mild redness, minimal swelling, and dryness to 10 days of more intense redness, swelling, peeling, and scabbing. Your provider will instruct you on what skin care to use following the treatment until the skin is healed. Avoid sun exposure for six weeks following the treatment and apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 and zinc oxide as an active ingredient. 

  • What Results Can I Expect? 

One can expect improved skin texture and firmness and a decreased appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. These results will develop in the 3-12 months following a series of treatments.  

  • How Long will Results Last? 

The effects of laser resurfacing are not permanent, but they can last for several years. To maintain the results of laser resurfacing, it is important to protect your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
