What Is the DEKA Tetra Pro CO₂ Laser?
The DEKA Tetra Pro is a state-of-the-art CO₂ fractional ablative laser system designed to treat a wide range of skin concerns with precision and minimal downtime. Manufactured in Italy, it stands out as one of the most advanced platforms for laser resurfacing, offering exceptional customization for each patient’s skin type, concern, and comfort level.
Unlike standard CO₂ lasers, Tetra Pro provides full control over pulse duration, energy, and depth of ablation, making it suitable for everything from deep wrinkle treatment and face and neck tissue lifting.
How Does the DEKA Laser Treatment Work?
DEKA Tetra Pro uses fractional ablative technology to deliver controlled micro-injuries into the skin. These micro-columns of thermal damage stimulate collagen production and skin remodeling from within while leaving surrounding tissue intact to promote faster healing.
Its unique technology allows practitioners to adjust each treatment’s depth, intensity, and pattern. This provides unparalleled safety and effectiveness, even on delicate or hard-to-treat areas.
Benefits of DEKA Tetra Pro treatments
- Smoother skin texture
- Reduction in fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Skin tightening and lifting
- Improvement of acne scars and surgical scars
- Treatment of sun damage and pigmentation
- Pore size refinement
- Stretch mark reduction
DEKA Tetra vs. CoolPeel: What’s the Difference?
While both treatments use the same Tetra laser device, their goals and intensity levels differ:
- CoolPeel delivers a lighter, non-ablative resurfacing that focuses on skin texture and tone with little downtime.
- DEKA Tetra Pro Resurfacing penetrates deeper into the dermis to address advanced signs of aging, scars, and photodamage, requiring more recovery but offering more drastic results.
CoolPeel is often recommended as a preventative treatment or as a complement to deeper resurfacing sessions.
What Skin Concerns Can Be Treated?
Acne Scars
Tetra Pro stimulates new collagen growth in areas affected by pitted or hypertrophic scarring.

Laser energy breaks down pigmented lesions and sunspots, improving skin clarity.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
By targeting the dermis, DEKA Tetra enhances skin elasticity and reduces static wrinkles.
Uneven Texture and Enlarged Pores

You may be a candidate for DEKA Tetra Pro if you:
- Have visible signs of aging or sun damage
