A customizable CO₂ laser treatment designed to address deeper wrinkles, sun damage, uneven texture and acne scarring while stimulating collagen for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Tetra PRO CO₂ laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve more significant signs of aging, sun damage, scarring, and uneven skin texture. At La Pelle Studio in Denver, we use the Tetra PRO CO₂ laser to precisely resurface damaged skin while stimulating collagen remodeling for smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin.
Unlike lighter laser treatments that primarily target the skin’s surface, Tetra PRO can be customized to provide deeper correction for concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and other scarring, sun damage, uneven tone and texture, and loose or crepey skin. As the skin heals and renews itself, continued collagen production can lead to progressive improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.
One of the advantages of Tetra PRO CO₂ resurfacing is the ability to customize the intensity of each treatment. From moderate resurfacing to more aggressive correction, your La Pelle Studio provider will tailor your treatment based on your skin, concerns, desired results, and preferred recovery time—providing a personalized approach to CO₂ laser resurfacing in Denver.
Tetra PRO uses advanced CO₂ laser technology to precisely remove damaged skin while creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing response. Treatment depth and intensity can be customized to your skin and goals, allowing your provider to target areas of concern with a highly personalized approach.
The benefits of Tetra PRO extend beyond resurfacing the skin you can see. The controlled thermal effect of the CO₂ laser stimulates new collagen formation and remodeling beneath the surface, helping improve firmness, texture, and overall skin quality as the skin heals.
Not every patient needs the same level of resurfacing. Tetra PRO allows treatments to range from more moderate correction to deeper, more aggressive CO₂ resurfacing, depending on your concerns, desired results, skin type, and acceptable downtime. Your La Pelle Studio provider will determine the appropriate treatment approach for you.
Once the initial healing process is complete, patients typically begin noticing improvements in skin tone and texture. Because collagen remodeling continues for months after treatment, results can continue developing well beyond the initial recovery period.

Tetra PRO is an advanced CO₂ laser treatment that addresses deeper skin concerns, including wrinkles, sun damage, uneven texture, and scarring. By precisely resurfacing damaged layers of skin and stimulating collagen remodeling, it helps reveal smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
While CoolPeel provides a gentler, more superficial CO₂ resurfacing treatment with minimal downtime, Tetra PRO can treat the skin more deeply for more intensive correction. This makes it ideal for addressing more advanced signs of aging, skin damage, and texture concerns, with more dramatic results often achievable in fewer treatments.
Tetra PRO can be used to improve a variety of skin concerns, including:
You may feel warmth and a mild stinging sensation during treatment. A topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to help keep you comfortable, and additional comfort measures may be used when appropriate.
Downtime typically ranges from 5–10 days or longer, depending on the intensity of your treatment and your individual healing response. During recovery, you may experience redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and flaking or peeling as the skin heals and renews itself.
You can typically begin to see improvements in skin tone and texture once the initial healing process is complete, usually within 1–2 weeks. As collagen production and remodeling continue over the following months, your skin can continue to improve over time.
Many patients see significant improvement after just one treatment. Depending on your skin concerns, starting condition, and desired results, your provider may recommend a series of treatments to achieve the best outcome.
For 1–2 weeks before your treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure, retinoids, and certain skincare products that could irritate or sensitize your skin. Your provider will give you detailed pre-treatment instructions based on your skin and treatment plan.
Immediately after your Tetra PRO treatment, you can expect redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and a sensation similar to a sunburn. Following your provider’s post-treatment instructions carefully is important to support proper healing and achieve the best possible results.
Moderate to aggressive Tetra PRO CO₂ treatments are generally best suited for lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I–III). Your provider will carefully evaluate your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals to determine the safest and most effective approach for you.
You’ll need to avoid makeup until your skin has fully healed, which is typically around 7–10 days. Healing time can vary depending on the intensity of your treatment and your individual response, so your provider will let you know when it’s safe to resume wearing makeup.
