guided by experience.
A sophisticated laser still requires a thoughtful approach.
Tetra CO₂ is an advanced carbon dioxide laser platform capable of delivering different levels of fractional skin resurfacing.
Its flexibility is one of its strengths. But technology alone does not determine how the skin should be treated.
At Modern Skin Clinic, Nina Crytser personally evaluates visible photoaging, skin quality, pigmentation history, previous procedures, sensitivity, treatment goals and expected recovery before determining the appropriate level of resurfacing.
The goal is not to simply choose a stronger setting. It is to choose the level of treatment that best serves the skin.
Real skin. Thoughtfully resurfaced.
Real treatment results provide a more meaningful look at what carefully selected fractional resurfacing can achieve.
Individual results vary.
More than two decades of understanding how skin responds.
Nina Crytser has worked in medical aesthetics since 2003, combining advanced skin treatments, clinical skin care and laser-based technologies with individualized treatment planning.
Her combined American and European experience has shaped an approach that values refinement, careful observation and respect for the skin's healing process.
Before determining the appropriate level of resurfacing, Nina considers skin thickness, visible photoaging, pigmentation history, previous procedures, sensitivity, lifestyle, healing capacity and the patient's tolerance for downtime.
With CO₂ resurfacing, more intensity is not automatically more effective. The treatment should reflect what the individual skin actually needs.
When skin care alone is no longer enough.
Fractional CO₂ resurfacing may be appropriate when visible texture, photoaging or scarring requires treatment beyond what topical skin care or lighter facial treatments can provide.
Sun damage
Years of UV exposure can leave skin looking uneven, rough, weathered and prematurely aged.
Wrinkles
Fractional resurfacing may improve fine and etched lines while supporting collagen remodeling.
Acne scars
Certain depressed acne scars may benefit from fractional CO₂ depending on scar type and depth.
Texture + visible pores
For skin that continues to look rough or irregular despite consistent skin care.
Crepey skin
Carefully selected resurfacing may improve thin, weathered-looking texture associated with photoaging and collagen loss.
Your result begins before the laser is turned on.
CO₂ resurfacing is best approached as a process, not simply as an appointment.
Successful resurfacing involves more than energy delivery. The condition of the skin before treatment, the parameters selected and the way the skin is supported during recovery all matter.
Different skin concerns call for different levels of resurfacing.
Tetra CO₂ allows treatment depth and intensity to be adjusted according to the condition of the skin, desired correction and expected recovery.
Lighter resurfacing
A lighter approach may be appropriate for patients focused on early visible aging, maintenance and a lower level of downtime.
Deeper fractional CO₂
More intensive resurfacing may be appropriate when greater correction and collagen remodeling are desired.
The eyes and mouth often reveal changes in skin quality first.
Around the eyes
In appropriately selected patients, fractional CO₂ may help improve fine lines and crepey texture around the eye area.
Around the mouth
Perioral lines and etched texture may benefit from carefully selected resurfacing based on the quality of the skin and treatment goals.
A thoughtful process from evaluation through remodeling.
Evaluate
Skin quality, damage, sensitivity and treatment history.
Design
Treatment depth and intensity selected for the individual skin.
Resurface
Controlled fractional CO₂ energy delivered to selected areas.
Recover
Skin moves through the expected post-resurfacing healing phase.
Remodel
Improvement may continue as collagen remodeling progresses.
Tetra CO₂ before & after
Individual results vary according to skin condition, treatment intensity, healing response and the concern being addressed.
The skin should guide the treatment.
A patient with early texture changes should not necessarily receive the same treatment as someone with more advanced photodamage, deeper wrinkles or acne scarring.
Even different areas of the same face may require different treatment decisions.
Nina's approach is centered on evaluating the skin carefully and choosing the level of resurfacing that feels appropriate, measured and purposeful.
questions
What is fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing?
Fractional CO₂ creates controlled microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding tissue available to support the healing response.
Is Tetra CO₂ good for wrinkles?
Tetra CO₂ may improve fine lines and wrinkles through controlled resurfacing and collagen remodeling.
Can CO₂ laser improve acne scars?
Certain depressed acne scars may respond to fractional CO₂. The appropriate approach depends on scar type, depth and the surrounding skin.
How much downtime should I expect?
Recovery varies substantially with treatment intensity. More corrective resurfacing requires a more significant healing period than lighter treatment.
Can CO₂ be used around the eyes?
In appropriately selected patients, fractional CO₂ may be used around the eyes to improve fine lines and crepey-looking texture.
When will I see results?
Initial improvement may become visible during healing, while additional changes may continue as collagen remodeling progresses.
