What is HELIX™ Skin Resurfacing?
HELIX Skin Resurfacing offers a groundbreaking, customizable approach to skin rejuvenation, combining advanced CO2 and non-ablative laser technologies. With HELIX, patients benefit from both fractional ablative and non-ablative resurfacing, allowing for precise, powerful results that address everything from fine lines and wrinkles to deeper skin concerns. By targeting both the superficial and deeper layers of skin, HELIX delivers a smoother, more youthful complexion with adaptable recovery times.
What Makes HELIX Different?
HELIX’s unique combination of fractional ablative CO2 and 1570nm non-ablative lasers sets it apart from traditional resurfacing systems. Powered by 70 watts of energy, HELIX utilizes DEKA’s exclusive Pulse Shape Design (PSD™), which gives practitioners full control over CO2 pulse duration, energy, and pattern, for truly tailored treatments. This versatile system also enables the integration of non-ablative treatments, minimizing downtime while maximizing efficacy. Patients can achieve noticeable results with lower risk of hyperpigmentation and other common side effects.
HELIX’s Exclusive Branded Treatments
HELIX introduces three distinct treatment options for precise customization based on skin needs and desired outcomes:
- CoolPeel: An award-winning, no-downtime fractional ablative treatment that rejuvenates skin by removing damaged layers, leaving skin smoother and healthier.
- Sultra: A gentle, fractional non-ablative treatment that stimulates collagen production for firmer, youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime.
- Fusion: A combined ablative and non-ablative treatment, enhancing results while accelerating healing time and accommodating a broader range of skin types.
How Does HELIX Work?
Only HELIX offers the precision and flexibility to adjust CO2 and non-ablative laser settings to suit each patient’s unique skin concerns. With DEKA’s PSD™ technology, HELIX provides up to four pulse modes, including the high-peak-power H-Pulse and the classic Deka-Pulse, enabling controlled, targeted treatments. The device’s advanced “spray” mode and ergonomic handpiece allow for efficient, accurate delivery of energy, reducing downtime and improving comfort.
Who is a Candidate for HELIX Skin Resurfacing?
HELIX Skin Resurfacing is ideal for individuals seeking improvements in fine lines, sun damage, pores, texture, and skin laxity. With its flexibility to tailor energy, depth, and patterns, HELIX is safe for a wide range of skin types and concerns. Talk to your provider to determine the most suitable HELIX treatment for your goals.
How Long Does a HELIX Treatment Take?
Depending on the area being treated, a HELIX session can range from 10-30 minutes. For a full-face CoolPeel, treatment typically takes between 5-15 minutes.
Is Anesthesia or Numbing Required?
Most HELIX treatments do not require anesthesia. However, a numbing cream may be applied to ensure patient comfort, particularly for more intensive procedures.
What is My Recovery Time?
HELIX is designed to minimize downtime while delivering effective results. For treatments like CoolPeel, patients may experience redness for one to two days, similar to a mild sunburn. Fusion treatments involving deeper resurfacing may have longer recovery times, and post-treatment skin hydration is essential.
When Can I Resume My Skincare Routine?
After a HELIX treatment, it’s important to maintain hydration and avoid certain skincare products. Your provider will recommend a personalized post-care routine and let you know when it’s safe to resume your regular regimen.
