CO2 Laser in Bozeman
Fractional CO2 Ablative Laser Resurfacing
Advanced Skin Resurfacing designed to deliver dramatic skin renewal while vaporizing wrinkles that will last our clients YEARS.
Experience the most advanced skin rejuvenation in Bozeman, Montana.
For clients ready for dramatic, transformative results, Juniper Face + Figure proudly offers Fractional CO₂ Ablative Laser Resurfacing with the Tetra Pro® — one of the most powerful laser treatments available for aging and damaged skin.
This advanced fractional CO₂ laser treatment in Bozeman targets deep wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven texture, and significant skin laxity by resurfacing the skin at a deeper level while stimulating intense collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin with long-lasting improvement in tone and texture.
Unlike lighter resurfacing treatments, fractional ablative CO₂ laser technology delivers controlled energy into microscopic columns of the skin, allowing for significant renewal while supporting safer healing and predictable results. This approach makes the Tetra Pro an ideal option for clients seeking noticeable skin transformation of the face, neck, or chest with medical-grade precision.
At Juniper Face + Figure in Bozeman, MT, every CO₂ laser treatment is fully customized to your skin, goals, and lifestyle. Our experienced medical providers prioritize safety, comfort, and results, carefully selecting treatment depth and intensity to maximize outcomes while minimizing unnecessary downtime.
When will you see results?
Initial improvements are often visible once the skin has healed, typically within 7–14 days following treatment. As healing continues, your skin enters a powerful regeneration phase — rebuilding collagen, refining texture, and revealing firmer, more youthful skin that continues to improve for three to six months after treatment.
How long do results last?
Results from fractional CO₂ ablative laser resurfacing are long-lasting. Many patients enjoy visible improvement for several years after a single treatment, especially when combined with consistent medical-grade skincare, diligent sun protection, and healthy lifestyle habits. While the aging process continues naturally, the clock is essentially set back — and the improvements achieved do not suddenly disappear.
Pricing and treatment options are available through our online booking platform.

Before & After
Treatment Details
Consultation Required?
Yes — mandatory for safety and candidacy
Is there downtime?
Moderate/Significant — depending on the intensity of your treatment, expect 7–14 days of active healing, with redness, swelling, flaking & potential blistering.
How many treatments are recommended?
Most clients only need one fully ablative CO₂ session, thanks to how powerful and effective this technology is, however, one may be done once every 6 months, depending on the clients’ needs.
When will I see results?
Initial improvement appears once the skin heals at 1-2 weeks. Since fractional CO₂ laser stimulates deep collagen and elastin production, results continue to improve for an additional 3–6 months following treatment, and the results themselves can last for several years.

How our “Crown Jewel” Tetra Pro Fractional Ablative CO2 Works
The Tetra Pro CO₂ Fractional Ablative Laser is a 10,600 nm carbon dioxide laser that delivers precise ablation and controlled thermal energy deep into the dermis. In its fractional mode, it treats microscopic columns of skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact to promote faster healing. For clients needing more dramatic results, the fully ablative setting removes almost 100% of the top skin layer in the treated area while simultaneously heating deeper structures, stimulating powerful collagen and elastin remodeling. This advanced technology improves wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and skin laxity on the face, neck, or chest, with results that continue to enhance over several months for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What to Expect
The Tetra Pro CO2 Process
1
Consultation
A detailed consultation is required to determine if fully ablative CO₂ is right for your skin type, goals, and healing capacity. We will review your medical history, discuss expectations, assess your Fitzpatrick skin type, and determine whether you are a candidate (note: this treatment is approved only for Fitzpatrick 1–3). We will set honest expectations on how much downtime you will need to expect (most men and women need 7-10 days). You will also be guided through pretreatment skincare, medication protocols (if needed), and the healing timeline. Before + afters will be reviewed so you know exactly what to expect.
2
Treatment
On treatment day, you will apply numbing ointment an hour before your treatment to keep you as comfortable as possible. Your skin will then be cleansed thoroughly.
If treating the eyelids up to the lash line, numbing eye drops and internal ocular shields will be placed to protect the eyes.
Your provider will perform your CO₂ resurfacing using controlled depth and precision, customizing the settings based on your goals, skin type, and skin needs. Once the treatment is finished, we will then put on a calming mask to promote healing and soothe the skin. Aftercare will then be discussed and we will go over the take home products that we give you, our ZO SKIN HEALTH accelerated firming serum, Hydrating Creme, and Soothing Mist, along with a gentle cleanser, vaseline, vinegar soaks—are all included in your package.
Expect the skin to feel hot and warm, tight, swelling, and a “sunburned” sensation immediately following treatment. The day after treatment, it is very normal to experience tiny red dots, which are called microthermal treatment zones (MTZs). They correspond to the tiny columns of skin that the fractional CO₂ laser treated.
Each dot represents an area where the laser ablated damaged skin and stimulated collagen production.

Results
Day 0: Skin is red, warm, and slightly swollen; tiny red dots (microthermal zones) are visible but may appear the day after treatment. Skin may feel tight or sensitive; mild oozing or crusting can occur in the first few days. Apply recommended ointment and avoid sun and sweating. Keep skin exceptionally clean for the first few days!
Days 1–3: You will be the most swollen when you wake up. Redness could intensify; small scabs or peeling appear. Skin feels tender. Continue gentle cleansing and moisturizing.
Days 4–7: Scabs begin flaking off; redness softens. Microdots fade, and subtle smoothness may appear.
Week 2: Most healing is complete. Skin tone evens; firmness and texture improvements are noticeable.
Weeks 3–6: Collagen remodeling continues; skin becomes smoother, firmer, and brighter.
Months 2–6: Full results develop as deep tissue remodeling progresses. Wrinkles, scars, and sun damage improve, leaving long-lasting rejuvenation.
Tips: Avoid picking, follow post-care instructions, use sunscreen, and stay hydrated for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Difference between Ablative vs. Non-Ablative Lasers?
-
- Ablative Lasers
Function: Remove the top layer of skin (epidermis) and heat the underlying dermis.
Purpose: Stimulates collagen production and resurfaces the skin.
Results: More dramatic improvements in wrinkles, scars, texture, and laxity.
Downtime: Longer healing time, usually 7–14 days or more depending on depth.
Example: Fractional CO₂ laser (like the Tetra Pro)- Non-Ablative Lasers
Function: Heat the underlying dermis without removing the top layer of skin.
Purpose: Stimulates collagen and tightens skin more gently.
Results: Gradual improvement in fine lines, mild texture issues, and skin tone.
Downtime: Minimal to none; patients can usually return to normal activities immediately.
Example: Fraxel Dual (non-ablative mode), Nd:YAG, or IPL devices - Why can only Fitzpatrick 1–3 receive fully ablative CO₂?
-
The risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring is significantly higher in deeper skin tones due to melanin-producing cells reacting strongly to heat. Ablative CO₂ removes the entire surface layer of the skin, making it unsuitable for Fitzpatrick 4–6.
- Is the treatment painful?
-
Most our of clients say it is mildly painful. However, with our comfort measures such as topical numbing ointment reapplied twice before your treatment and our post treatment cooling masks, make the procedure very manageable. Sensations may include heat, pressure, or “snapping.”
- What can I expect for downtime, honestly?
-
Phenomenal results are worth waiting for! Our Tetra Pro ablative CO2 laser has the most downtime out of any of our device options at Juniper. Clients need to expect 7–14 days of active healing. You can be significantly swollen for the first 1-4 days after treatment, with everyday improving, as your body heals itself. Redness can persist longer.
- How long do results last?
-
Results can last several years, especially with good skincare, sun protection, and maintenance treatments like LaseMD Ultra, RF Microneedling or CoolPeel that we all have here at Juniper!
- Can I combine this with other treatments?
-
Yes, but only once the skin is fully healed. Your provider will guide safe timelines.
- I struggle with moderate to severe anxiety. Would this be a proper treatment for me to receive?
-
Although most people feel anxious before getting a Tetra Pro CO2 Ablative laser, those who struggle with moderate to severe anxiety are often times not the best candidates given the prolonged swelling and healing that occurs after receiving treatment. We advise clients who are anxious to research and discuss all questions with our medical staff prior to considering this treatment.
- If I can’t commit to 7-10 days of downtime, do you have any other options that might suit me better?
-
Yes! The TetraPro CO2 Laser has a setting called the “CoolPeel.” The CoolPeel still maintains phenomenal results, but more sessions are required to earn yourself dramatic effects to slow natural aging. Downtime for the CoolPeel is usually between 1-3 days and you will not get significantly swollen like you would with the more powerful and intense settings.
- I’m not interested in an ablative laser treatment at this time. Do you offer a non-ablative option at Juniper?
-
Yes! Juniper is proud to offer its clients the LaseMD Ultra non-ablative laser! This laser not only resurfaces the top layer of the skin giving clients a polished and filtered-looking feel, but it outperforms the Halo and Moxie, all day long. It targets pigment, sun damage, acne pitting and scaring, treats active acne, rejuvenates the scalp for hair restoration, safe for melasma and calming hormonal-related pigment, and also treats bruising (a complimentary treatment for Brett’s injectable clients).
