Precision Skin Renewal. Powerful Results.
At Arvé Aesthetics, we use the Tetra Pro CO₂ laser—one of the most advanced fractional CO₂ systems available—to dramatically improve skin texture, tone, and firmness while maintaining precision, safety, and customization.
This is resurfacing for patients who want real change, not subtle tweaks.
What Is Tetra Pro CO₂?
Tetra Pro CO₂ is a fractional carbon dioxide laser designed to resurface the skin by delivering controlled thermal energy deep into the dermis. This process stimulates collagen remodeling, accelerates cellular turnover, and replaces damaged skin with healthier, smoother tissue.
Unlike older CO₂ lasers, Tetra Pro allows fully customizable treatment depths and patterns, meaning we can safely treat everything from fine lines to deeper wrinkles and scars—while tailoring downtime to your goals.
Why We Chose Tetra Pro at Arvé
Not all CO₂ lasers are created equal. Tetra Pro stands out because it offers:
- True fractional precision with customizable depth and density
- Advanced cooling and energy control for improved comfort and safety
- Shorter recovery options when appropriate
- Powerful collagen stimulation with long-lasting results
Most importantly, it allows us—as physicians—to design a treatment that matches your anatomy, skin type, and lifestyle, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

What to Expect During Treatment
Your Tetra Pro CO₂ experience begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin, goals, and recovery preferences.
- Treatment time: ~30–90 minutes (depending on area and intensity)
- Topical numbing and/or nerve blocks are used for comfort
- You may feel warmth or pressure during treatment
This is a medical-grade procedure performed with intention, precision, and care.
Recovery & Downtime
Downtime varies based on treatment intensity:
- Light resurfacing: redness and flaking for several days
- Moderate to deep resurfacing: swelling, redness, and peeling for 7–14 days
Most patients notice continued improvement for months as collagen remodels and skin quality strengthens.
We provide detailed post-care guidance and physician oversight throughout healing.
