What Is CO2 Skin Resurfacing?
CO2 skin resurfacing is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating deeper collagen production. At Amy Chow, MD, Medical Practice, we use the DEKA Tetra PRO CO2 laser, a next-generation fractional CO2 technology recognized for its award-winning innovation, precision, and ability to support faster recovery than traditional CO2 treatments. The ablative laser technique targets concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven tone with precision while encouraging healthier skin to regenerate in its place. The process not only reduces surface imperfections but also strengthens the underlying skin structure. As a result, patients often notice smoother texture, improved clarity, and a more youthful appearance after healing.
How Does CO2 Skin Resurfacing Work?
CO2 skin resurfacing works by delivering controlled laser energy that removes damaged outer layers of skin while heating the deeper layers to stimulate collagen renewal. Our DEKA Tetra PRO CO2 laser uses advanced fractional technology to create precise microchannels in the skin while preserving more surrounding tissue, helping stimulate powerful collagen remodeling with less downtime and faster recovery compared to many traditional CO2 lasers. Unlike older CO2 systems that treat larger areas of skin more aggressively, the DEKA Tetra PRO delivers more controlled energy for improved precision and healing. This collagen remodeling process activates your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the growth of fresh, healthy skin cells while improving firmness, texture, and tone over time. As new collagen continues to form beneath the surface, patients often experience long-term skin rejuvenation and smoother, healthier-looking skin.
