During your consultation, Dr. Zinsser and his expert staff will determine which laser settings and treatment options are best for your skin and aesthetic goals.

What are CoolPeel & Tetra CO2?
Tetra is one of the newest and most advanced CO2 laser technologies. Using the device’s multiple settings, Dr. Zinsser and his expert team can better customize skin resurfacing treatments, diminishing the signs of aging for dramatically smoother, brighter, younger-looking skin.
If a deeper, more intensive treatment is desired, the Tetra CO2 platform/settings can be adjusted to remove the top layers of damaged skin tissue to address lines, age spots, scarring, or other textural issues. This also stimulates collagen and elastin production to regenerate tighter, healthier skin. The higher ablative treatment setting does incur slightly more downtime.
Tetra can also deliver a non-ablative, lighter skin refreshing treatment. The CoolPeel is a mild laser treatment that provides a full-fractionated laser treatment without thermal damage to the surrounding tissues, allowing quicker healing. It is designed to be done in a series of 3 treatments with gradually increasing depth settings to achieve maximum results.
While many improvements have been made to limit the side effects of CO2 laser facial treatments, CoolPeel is the only treatment that can produce impressive skin resurfacing results with minimal downtime, 1-2 days, and a decreased risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation, or infection.
Is CoolPeel CO2 Laser in Richmond Right for Me?
With Tetra CO2 laser technology, Dr. Zinsser and his master aesthetic staff will customize your laser skin treatment to meet your needs. Whether you are looking for an intensive treatment to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles or you are looking for a lighter laser peel to refresh your skin, the team at Zinsser Plastic Surgery can help you.
