DEKA CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
DEKA CO2 Laser for
Sun Damage & Pigmentation
Decades of sunshine, tanning and outdoor activity can leave the skin with stubborn brown spots, age spots, sun spots and a mottled complexion that makeup struggles to conceal. When this damage is widespread or has built up over many years, a deeper approach often produces the most dramatic improvement. DEKA laser skin resurfacing uses the full power of the Tetra PRO CO2 laser to remove sun-damaged skin and reveal a fresh, evenly toned surface.
During treatment, the DEKA setting vaporizes the pigmented outer layers and reaches into the dermis below, so discoloration and the rough texture that often accompanies sun damage are treated together. As the skin heals over the following week, it sheds the darkened cells and is replaced by new skin that looks clearer, brighter and more uniform. Many patients achieve significant correction of their sun damage in a single DEKA treatment.
Because deeper resurfacing affects pigment-producing cells, skin type and pigment history are carefully reviewed before treatment, and melasma is typically managed with other approaches. Strict sun avoidance during healing and diligent sunscreen use afterward protect the new skin and help results last. The skin resurfacing experts at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids provide detailed pretreatment and aftercare guidance so that every patient heals smoothly and safely.
DEKA CO2 Laser for
Deep Lines & Wrinkles
Some lines respond well to light treatments, while others have become etched into the skin and need more powerful correction. Deep crow’s feet, vertical lines around the lips, forehead creases and crepey skin beneath the eyes are among the concerns that benefit most from DEKA laser skin resurfacing. This treatment addresses both the visible surface of the wrinkle and the weakened collagen beneath it.
The DEKA setting delivers a pulse that combines high-peak energy to remove damaged surface tissue with a longer thermal phase that heats the deeper dermis. That gentle, controlled heat triggers an intense wound-healing response, prompting the skin to produce abundant new collagen and elastin. As this collagen remodels over the next six months or longer, deeper lines soften, fine wrinkles fade and the skin takes on a firmer, smoother appearance.
Because the treatment reaches deeper than light resurfacing, a single session often delivers results comparable to several lighter treatments. Patients should plan for about five to seven days of downtime while the skin heals, followed by pinkness that gradually fades over several weeks. For patients seeking the most noticeable reduction in wrinkles, the antiaging experts at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids often recommend DEKA laser skin resurfacing as a powerful nonsurgical option.
DEKA CO2 Laser for
Skin Texture & Acne Scars
Uneven texture, enlarged pores, and acne scars can be some of the most frustrating and difficult skin concerns to improve, because they involve structural changes beneath the surface. Rolling acne scars, pitted texture, rough patches and pores that appear stretched or prominent often persist despite good skincare. DEKA CO2 laser skin resurfacing reaches deep enough to remodel these irregularities rather than simply polishing the surface.
The fractional DEKA beam creates microscopic treatment columns that extend into the dermis while leaving bridges of healthy skin in between. This pattern allows the skin to heal quickly while generating new collagen that fills in depressed scars and tightens the tissue surrounding each pore. As healing progresses, the skin develops a smoother, more refined surface with visibly smaller-looking pores and a more even, polished texture.
Improvements continue for months after treatment as collagen matures, and patients with deeper scarring may benefit from a second session for maximum correction. During healing, the skin may feel tight and appear red, and patients can return to their normal routines and makeup once the skin has fully resurfaced, usually within about a week. With careful planning, the skin resurfacing experts at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids help each patient achieve the clearest, smoothest skin possible.
DEKA CO2 Laser for
Crepiness & Sagging
Loose, crepey skin develops as collagen and elastin break down with age, sun exposure and genetics. The jawline softens, the skin beneath the eyes becomes thin and wrinkled, and the neck and cheeks lose their tautness. For patients with moderate laxity who want more tightening than a light treatment can provide, DEKA laser skin resurfacing offers one of the strongest nonsurgical options available.
The deep thermal energy of the DEKA setting causes existing collagen fibers to contract, creating an initial tightening effect, while also stimulating the production of new collagen. Over the following months, this new support structure continues to firm the skin from within, with improvements in tightness and texture building steadily for six months or more. Many patients notice that their skin looks firmer, smoother and more youthful in a way that light resurfacing alone cannot achieve, particularly on the lower face and beneath the eyes.
DEKA laser skin resurfacing can produce visible tightening, but it does not lift tissue the way surgery does, so patients with significant sagging may benefit from a surgical consultation instead or in addition. For moderate laxity, however, the laser treatment experts at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids can design a DEKA treatment that restores firmness while preserving a natural appearance.
