What is Fractional Laser Resurfacing?
Fractional laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that works by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones within the skin.
These tiny areas of controlled injury stimulate the body's natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin while promoting cellular renewal. As the skin repairs itself, texture, tone and overall skin quality improve.
Unlike older laser resurfacing treatments that treated the entire skin surface, fractional technology leaves surrounding tissue untouched, allowing for faster healing and reduced downtime.
The result is healthier, firmer and more radiant skin.
What is SmartXide TETRA?
SmartXide TETRA is one of the most advanced fractional CO₂ laser systems available today and is widely regarded as the gold standard in laser skin resurfacing.
Designed to deliver highly customised treatments, SmartXide TETRA combines precision, versatility and safety to address a wide variety of skin concerns across different skin types and age groups.
The system allows practitioners to tailor treatment intensity and depth according to your individual needs, making it suitable for everything from gentle skin refreshing treatments to more intensive skin resurfacing procedures.
What Can Fractional Laser Resurfacing Treat?
SmartXide TETRA can effectively improve:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin texture
Sun-damaged skin
Pigmentation concerns
Enlarged pores
Acne scars
Surgical scars
Skin laxity
Dull or ageing skin
Overall skin tone and texture
Because collagen production naturally declines with age, many patients choose fractional laser resurfacing as part of their long-term skin rejuvenation plan.
Introducing CoolPeel™ Technology
One of the most exciting features of SmartXide TETRA is its innovative CoolPeel™ technology.
CoolPeel™ is a modern approach to CO₂ laser resurfacing that delivers the benefits of traditional resurfacing treatments while significantly reducing downtime.
By targeting only the superficial layers of the skin with carefully controlled laser energy, CoolPeel™ stimulates collagen production and skin renewal without generating excessive heat in surrounding tissues.
This allows patients to achieve impressive improvements in skin quality while enjoying a quicker recovery compared to traditional CO₂ laser treatments.
Benefits of CoolPeel™
Minimal Downtime
Most patients experience only mild redness and can quickly return to normal daily activities.
Improves Fine Lines and Wrinkles
CoolPeel™ effectively softens early signs of ageing and helps maintain a youthful appearance.
Refines Skin Texture
Creates smoother skin by reducing roughness and improving overall texture.
Reduces Pore Size
Many patients notice a visible improvement in enlarged pores following treatment.
Brightens Skin Tone
Encourages cellular turnover to reveal fresher, healthier-looking skin.
Suitable for Various Skin Types
The precision of CoolPeel™ allows many patients who may not have been suitable for traditional resurfacing treatments to benefit from laser rejuvenation.
How Does SmartXide TETRA Work?
SmartXide TETRA delivers highly controlled pulses of CO₂ laser energy into the skin.
These microscopic treatment zones trigger a natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production beneath the surface. As the skin repairs itself, damaged cells are replaced with new, healthier tissue.
The combination of high peak power, short pulse durations and precise energy delivery allows SmartXide TETRA to produce excellent results while minimising unnecessary trauma to the skin.
This balance of effectiveness and comfort has made SmartXide TETRA one of the most sought-after laser resurfacing technologies available today.
Who is Suitable for Fractional Laser Resurfacing?
Fractional laser resurfacing with SmartXide TETRA may be suitable for individuals who:
Want to improve skin texture and tone
Are concerned about fine lines and wrinkles
Have acne scars or other forms of scarring
Want to reduce sun damage or pigmentation
Are seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation
Want a treatment with less downtime than traditional laser resurfacing
A consultation at Skin ID will determine the most suitable treatment approach for your skin type, concerns and goals.
What Happens During Treatment?
Before treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared.
The SmartXide TETRA handpiece is then passed across the treatment area, delivering precise laser energy into the skin. Depending on your treatment plan, settings can be adjusted to achieve either a gentle refresh or a deeper resurfacing effect.
Treatment times vary according to the size of the area being treated and the level of resurfacing required.
Following treatment, your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support optimal healing and results.
Recovery and Results
Recovery varies depending on the intensity of treatment.
Patients undergoing CoolPeel™ treatments often experience mild redness similar to a light sunburn that resolves within a few days. More intensive resurfacing treatments may involve additional recovery time.
As collagen production increases and skin renewal takes place, patients typically notice:
Smoother skin texture
Improved skin tone
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Smaller pores
Improved skin firmness
Brighter, healthier-looking skin
Results continue to improve over the following weeks and months as new collagen develops beneath the skin.
