What is the Tetra CO2 Laser?
The Tetra CO2 Laser by Cartessa™ is the most advanced fractional CO2 laser platform available, manufactured by DEKA — Europe's leading aesthetic laser company. It delivers fully customizable skin resurfacing treatments that address wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, uneven texture, and skin laxity for dramatically smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin.
What sets the Tetra CO2 apart is its exclusive Pulse Shape Design (PSD™) technology, which provides complete control over CO2 pulse duration, energy, and shape. This allows your provider to tailor treatments precisely to your skin concerns and lifestyle — from the award-winning CoolPeel® with minimal downtime to deeper ablative resurfacing for more dramatic correction.
CO2 lasers are the gold standard for treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes, as well as tightening skin and balancing tone. The Tetra CO2 takes this proven technology to a new level with unmatched versatility, precision, and patient comfort.
The Process
How the Tetra CO2 Laser Works
The Tetra CO2 emits ultra-fast pulses of fractional laser energy into precise microchannels in the skin, vaporizing damaged tissue while delivering controlled thermal energy to the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling and skin renewal.

Laser Delivery

Collagen Remodeling
Your body's natural healing response produces new collagen and elastin, revealing smoother, firmer skin over weeks
Exclusive Technology
CoolPeel® — No-Downtime CO2 Resurfacing
CoolPeel® is an award-winning treatment available exclusively on the Tetra CO2 platform. Named NewBeauty's Best CO2 Laser Treatment for four consecutive years (2023–2026), CoolPeel leverages the exclusive H-Pulse mode to deliver a fully ablative treatment without causing thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
Without thermal damage, downtime is drastically minimized — most patients return to normal activities the same day. At the same time, CoolPeel delivers impressive superficial skin-resurfacing results, improving fine lines, sun damage, pore size, and overall skin tone and texture.
CoolPeel is ideal for busy patients who want the benefits of CO2 laser rejuvenation without the extended recovery associated with traditional ablative treatments. Full-face treatments take less than 10 minutes.

Your provider will recommend the optimal approach based on your skin concerns and lifestyle. Results from collagen remodeling continue to improve for 3-6 months, and many patients achieve their goals in just one session.
