Tetra CO2 Laser in Raleigh, NC

DEKA is an ablative CO2 laser treatment that targets deep wrinkles, severe laxity and collagen loss, and excessive sun damage. DEKA can be performed as a full face treatment or can be used to spot treat problem areas. Topical numbing is provided for all DEKA treatments, and downtime for each will depend on the depth and area of treatment!

The Tetra CO2 laser, which is commonly known as the “CoolPeel^® laser”, is the only technology that can perform a CoolPeel. The CoolPeel leverages the exclusive H-Pulse: a high-peak-power short pulse that delivers a fully-ablative treatment without causing thermal damage to surrounding tissue. Without thermal damage, downtime is drastically minimized. At the same time, the system delivers impressive superficial, skin-resurfacing results.

The Cartessa CoolPeel^® improves:

• The appearance of fine lines
• Sun damage
• Pore size
• Skin texture

One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel, is that there is minimal downtime. You should expect to be a little red, as if you have a sunburn, for a day, or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities. Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals so it is important to keep the skin hydrated. 

When determining which treatment is right for you, keep in mind that Cool Peel is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, while the DEKA laser treatments are for Fitzpatrick types I-III. For questions regarding your Fitzpatrick type, please refer to our glossary of terminology found here.

You are a good candidate for a CoolPeel laser treatment if you are looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and sun damage, minimize pores and improve skin texture. DEKA will address deeper issues such as severe sun damage, loss of laxity and collagen depletion.
