CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing in Denver & Greenwood Village, CO
The CO₂ Laser Procedure
What Is the CO₂ Tetra Dot Laser?
The CO₂ Tetra Dot Laser is a fractional ablative laser system that delivers targeted energy to the skin, promoting collagen production, improving texture, and reducing signs of aging. The laser creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This process helps to tighten and rejuvenate your skin, revealing a smoother, younger-looking complexion.
Enhancement Option: PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix)
PRFM is derived from your blood and contains high concentrations of platelets and growth factors. PRFM enhances recovery and improves final results by accelerating healing and boosting collagen remodeling when applied after the laser treatment. CO₂ laser and PRFM combination maximize skin regeneration, enhancing long-lasting results.
