HELIX

What Is Helix?

The HELIX system combines fractional ablative Co2 10,600nm and non-ablative 1570 nm wavelengths in one device, delivering powerful results by targeting both superficial and deeper layers of the skin. CO2 lasers are the gold standard for skin resurfacing. What sets the HELIX apart is the ability to customize the intensity, depth, and shape of the laser energy to maximize results while minimizing unnecessary downtime.  Improve tone, texture, fine lines, pore size, and sun damage with the award winning, no-downtime CoolPeel®; or use both lasers in combination for a more aggressive Fusion™ treatment to target deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, skin tightening, and surgical scars.

FAQs

  • Helix laser skin resurfacing works through two main techniques: ablative Co2 10,600nm and non-ablative 1570nm wavelengths. In ablative resurfacing, the laser vaporizes the outer layer of skin, prompting the body to heal and regenerate new skin cells. Non-ablative resurfacing uses fractional lasers to create microscopic treatment zones deep within the skin. These zones eliminate old, pigmented cells and deliver heat into the dermis, stimulating collagen remodeling and tightening the skin.

    • For patients that are prone to hyperpigmentation, consider pre-treating with a melanin suppressing agent like hydroquinone prior to treatment as directed by provider.
