CO2 Laser

Advanced Skin Resurfacing with Tetra PRO and CoolPeel™

Reclaim your skin’s youthful glow with one of the most advanced laser resurfacing platforms available: the DEKA Tetra PRO CO2 laser. At Dr. Chow’s Rejuvenation Practice, we offer both Deka Pulse Co2 treatments and CoolPeel™, two powerful options that work to smooth wrinkles, fade sun damage, and refresh uneven skin. Whether you want dramatic results or a quick, low-downtime refresh, we’ll tailor the approach to fit your goals.

What Is CO2 Laser Treatment?

CO2 laser treatment is a fractional skin resurfacing procedure that uses targeted light energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulate collagen, and reveal a smoother, firmer, more even complexion. FDA-cleared and backed by clinical research, the DEKA Tetra PRO CO2 system—including its CoolPeel™ mode—offers customizable options for both dramatic rejuvenation and gentle refreshers.

What Does Tetra PRO CO2 Laser Treat?

Both Deka Pulse Co2 and CoolPeel™ are designed to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Uneven skin tone and rough texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Acne scars and other textural irregularities
  • Mild skin laxity and crepey skin
  • Hyperpigmentation and discoloration

CoolPeel™: The No-Downtime Glow-Up

While Deka Pulse Co2 resurfacing targets deeper wrinkles and advanced texture issues, CoolPeel™ treats the skin’s surface—where early signs of aging, dullness, and fine lines begin. Using ultra-short, high-peak pulses with minimal heat, it delivers visible rejuvenation with little to no downtime.

What sets CoolPeel™ apart?

Named NewBeauty’s Best CO2 Laser Treatment three years in a row, CoolPeel™ is known for powerful results—without the recovery.

  • Full-face sessions take under 10 minutes
  • Now 30% faster with Moveo™ delivery and scan size
  • Smooths texture, refines pores, and brightens tone—no peeling or redness

Whether you’re new to lasers or maintaining results between treatments, CoolPeel™ offers a fast, effective way to refresh your skin—without pressing pause on life.

One Laser, Two Modes: How Tetra PRO Works

Tetra PRO CO2 Laser creates precise microchannels in the skin, stimulating collagen and accelerating cell turnover. The energy settings can be adjusted based on the depth and intensity of your skin concerns.

  • Deka Pulse Co2 uses higher energy for deep skin remodeling—ideal for advanced signs of aging, acne scarring, and sun damage.
  • CoolPeel™ delivers ultra-short CO2 pulses to improve texture and tone with less heat, making it a great option for early aging, dullness, and ongoing maintenance.

Both modes use the same clinically trusted technology, just with different goals and recovery timelines.

The Power of a Combined Approach

While CoolPeel™ and Deka Pulse Co2 treat different layers of the skin, some patients may benefit from a personalized plan that incorporates both—through alternating sessions or targeted treatment zones. This approach can address surface-level concerns like dullness and fine lines, while also targeting deeper wrinkles, scars, and texture issues.

Key Benefits of CO2 Laser & CoolPeel™

  • Noticeably Smoother Skin
    Both Deka Pulse Co2 and CoolPeel™ remove damaged skin and stimulate cell turnover to reveal a softer, more even complexion.
  • Boosted Collagen for Firmer Skin
    By activating collagen production, these treatments help gradually lift, tighten, and improve skin elasticity over time.
  • Tailored Treatment Every Time
    With PSD™ and CoolPeel™ technology, each treatment is fully customized for your skin type, goals, and comfort level.
  • Treats Multiple Concerns at Once
    From fine lines to laxity, Tetra PRO and CoolPeel™ address tone, texture, and firmness in one efficient plan.
  • Clinically Proven and Safe
    FDA-cleared and trusted by professionals, DEKA’s advanced CO2 laser system is backed by decades of clinical success.

Before and After CO2 Laser

What To Expect During Treatment

Before

It all begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Chow or one of our trained providers will assess your skin, review your medical history, and develop a customized treatment plan. We’ll also advise you on how to prep your skin—which may include discontinuing certain topicals, avoiding sun exposure, and staying well-hydrated.

During

Depending on your plan (CoolPeel™ or Deka Pulse Co2), sessions typically last between 30 to 90 minutes. Topical numbing is used for comfort. CoolPeel™ is often described as a light tingling sensation, while deeper CO2 modes may feel warmer—but are highly tolerable with cooling technology.

After

CoolPeel™ patients typically experience minor redness—similar to a mild sunburn—that fades within a day or two. For Deka Pulse Co2, you can expect more noticeable redness and potential peeling over the next 5–7 days. In both cases, we’ll send you home with aftercare guidance to support healing and enhance results.

CO2 & CoolPeel™ Results Timeline

With CoolPeel™, visible improvements often appear within a week, with full glow and collagen stimulation building over the next several weeks. Deka Pulse Co2 treatments may take longer to recover from, but deliver deeper, more dramatic changes that continue to improve over 3–6 months. 

For best results: We may recommend a series of sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart—especially for more advanced concerns. Results can last years with proper skincare and sun protection.

Is CO2 or CoolPeel™ Right for You?

Both options are excellent for men and women looking to refresh their appearance without surgery.

CoolPeel™ is a great fit if you:

  • Want to boost glow with no downtime
  • Are starting to notice early signs of aging
  • Are looking for a gentle way to refresh your skin

Deka Pulse Co2 may be better if you:

  • Have deeper wrinkles or acne scars
  • Are struggling with significant sun damage or texture
  • Want a long-lasting, comprehensive transformation

For some, the best results come from a personalized plan that includes both. During your consultation, we’ll help you decide which approach is right for your skin.
