A deeper approach.
A personal decision.
Our DEKA Tetra PRO platform gives us the ability to tailor more intensive CO₂ resurfacing for patients seeking improvement in wrinkles, sun damage, and selected scars. This page focuses on deeper treatment, with a more involved recovery than CoolPeel.
Sun damage
Explore treatment for suitable sun-related spots and uneven tone after a skin assessment.
Selected scars
Ask whether resurfacing may soften the appearance of acne scars or other appropriate scars.
Our new Tetra PRO platform
The flexibility to go deeper.
Tetra PRO is made by DEKA. Its DEKA Pulse mode allows the provider to adjust energy delivery for deeper, customized resurfacing. Treatment intensity and the areas treated are selected during your assessment; a stronger setting is not automatically the right choice for every patient.
Available at Papillion Plastic Surgery in Brentwood, serving Nashville and surrounding communities.
Before treatmentA conversation.
A conversation.
Then a plan.
Your consultation includes your skin tone, healing history, previous treatments, medications, and any history of cold sores. We will discuss the expected benefit, alternatives, comfort or anesthesia needs, and the practical details of recovery before you decide.
Talk with our teamRecovery & care
Make space for healing.
Deeper resurfacing requires dedicated skin care and time to heal. Redness, swelling, peeling, and crusting can occur. Recovery varies with treatment depth and area, and redness can last beyond initial surface healing. Your team will explain the expected timeline for your specific plan.
Follow your personal instructions for cleansing, prescribed products, sun protection, and follow-up. Ask when you can restart makeup, exercise, and your usual skin care. Do not use the shorter CoolPeel recovery expectations to plan a deeper treatment.
An informed choiceThe right treatment
The right treatment
starts with your skin.
CO₂ resurfacing is not suitable for everyone. Skin tone, recent sun exposure, and healing history matter. Risks include burns, infection, scarring, and changes in skin color; a cold sore history may require special planning.
We will discuss your individual risks and whether another approach would be more appropriate. Results vary.
Another option on our platform
Considering a lighter treatment?
CoolPeel is also performed with our Tetra PRO. It focuses on superficial resurfacing with generally less recovery. Explore that option if surface texture, fine lines, and a shorter interruption to your routine are your priorities.
Explore CoolPeelCommon questions
Let’s talk through it.
Is this a different machine from CoolPeel?
No. Both use our DEKA Tetra PRO. DEKA is the manufacturer, and DEKA Pulse is one of the platform’s treatment modes. The treatment approach and intensity create the difference.
Does being listed under Face mean this is a facelift?
No. Laser resurfacing treats the skin. A facelift addresses deeper facial tissues and laxity. Your consultation helps clarify which approach, or combination, is appropriate.
How aggressive will my treatment be?
Your goals, examination, skin type, and recovery plans guide that decision. We will explain the proposed treatment before proceeding.
How much does treatment cost?
Your quote depends on the areas, intensity, and care involved. Contact our team for a consultation and an individual estimate.
