HELIX Laser Skin Resurfacing

Refresh your complexion with HELIX laser skin resurfacing at Flawless Med Spa. This platform combines fractional CO2 and non-ablative laser technology to provide customizable treatments for different skin concerns and levels of downtime.

Customizable Skin Resurfacing with HELIX

HELIX is an advanced skin resurfacing platform that combines two complementary wavelengths: a 10,600 nm fractional ablative CO2 laser and a 1570 nm fractional non-ablative laser. These can be used individually or together, allowing your provider to customize the depth and intensity of treatment based on your skin, concerns, and desired downtime.

HELIX offers several resurfacing options, ranging from gentle treatments with minimal downtime to intensive CO2 resurfacing. CoolPeel provides superficial fractional CO2 resurfacing, Sultra delivers non-ablative thermal energy, and FUSION combines both wavelengths.

HELIX Laser Resurfacing Treats:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage
Uneven skin tone
Rough or uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores
Signs of skin aging
Dull, lackluster skin
Certain types of scars

HELIX Laser Treatment Options

CoolPeel

CoolPeel uses HELIX's fractional CO2 technology to provide precise, superficial skin resurfacing while limiting unnecessary thermal damage to surrounding tissue. The treatment removes small areas of damaged surface skin and stimulates the natural healing response and collagen production. CoolPeel can improve fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, uneven tone, and rough texture with less downtime than more intensive CO2 resurfacing.

Sultra

Sultra uses HELIX's 1570 nm fractional non-ablative laser to deliver controlled thermal energy beneath the skin's surface without ablating the epidermis. This creates microscopic treatment zones that initiate the body's natural repair response and stimulate collagen remodeling. Sultra provides a gentler approach to laser skin resurfacing and can improve skin quality, texture, and visible signs of aging with limited downtime.

FUSION

FUSION combines HELIX's fractional CO2 and 1570 nm non-ablative wavelengths within the same treatment. The CO2 laser provides controlled ablative resurfacing, while the 1570 nm wavelength delivers non-ablative thermal energy into the tissue. Using these complementary technologies together allows your provider to address various concerns at different depths and customize the balance between treatment intensity, results, and recovery.

DEKA

DEKA CoolPeel uses fractional CO2 laser technology to deliver controlled, superficial skin resurfacing while minimizing thermal impact on the surrounding tissue. The treatment creates microscopic channels in the skin that remove damaged surface cells and stimulate the body’s natural healing response and collagen production. CoolPeel can improve fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, uneven pigmentation, and rough texture while offering less downtime than more aggressive CO2 resurfacing treatments.

What Should I Expect During the Procedure?

Your provider begins by cleansing your skin and preparing the treatment area. Based on your skin, concerns, and treatment goals, your provider will select the appropriate HELIX treatment and settings. During the procedure, the handpiece delivers controlled fractional laser energy across targeted areas, creating microscopic zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact.

Your experience can vary depending on whether you receive CoolPeel, Sultra, FUSION, or more intensive DEKA CO2 laser resurfacing. You may notice warmth, prickling, or a similar sensation as the device passes over your skin. The treatment time varies depending on the areas addressed and the selected treatment.

How Long is the Recovery Time?

Recovery after HELIX depends on the type and intensity of your treatment. You may experience redness, warmth, mild swelling, dryness, or a rough texture as your skin renews itself. CoolPeel and Sultra provide resurfacing with relatively limited downtime, while recovery after FUSION varies depending on the combination of settings used.

More intensive DEKA CO2 resurfacing generally requires greater downtime. Your provider will recommend an appropriate treatment based in part on the amount of recovery you are comfortable with and provide detailed instructions to support the healing process.

How Long Will It Take to See Results?

After HELIX resurfacing, you may begin to notice smoother, brighter-looking skin as the treated area heals and renews. The timing and extent of improvement depend on whether you receive CoolPeel, Sultra, FUSION, or more intensive DEKA CO2 resurfacing, as well as the settings used and your individual skin response.

Improvements in fine lines, enlarged pores, sun damage, tone, and texture may become more noticeable over the following weeks as collagen remodeling occurs. Your results may continue developing for several months and can be long-lasting, although your skin will continue to age naturally. Periodic treatments may help maintain your refreshed appearance over time.
