Technology that Delivers Results
HELIX Cool Peel
The Cool Peel is a superficial, low-downtime fractional CO₂ treatment that delivers high energy in very short pulses to avoid excess heat buildup. The results are a Skin refresh / “polish”, improved texture, tone, mild sun damage repair and reduction of fine lines.
The downtime is minimal (1–3 days redness, sandpaper feel). There is no significant peeling or oozing.
We use topical numbing cream prior to the procedure and use a chiller during so the pain level is mild.
This treatment is best for patients who want no downtime, want something they can do consistently for maintenance and to address and prevent early sings of aging.
HELIX CO2 Fusion
CO2 Fusion is deeper, more aggressive fractional CO₂ treatment that combines ablation + thermal coagulation for stronger collagen remodeling. It treats wrinkles, acne scars and deeper lines. It helps tighten skin and helps resurface it for a smoother, softer appearance.
This treatment requires about
- 5–10+ days (erythema, peeling, possible oozing/crusting)
Pain:
- Moderate (topical + sometimes nerve blocks)
Best for:
- Patients needing correction, not just refresh
- Aging skin with moderate to severe damage
Key advantage:
- More dramatic results in fewer sessions

CoolPeel®
Ablative CO2 (carbon dioxide) lasers use a highpowered light beam that heats and vaporizes the top layer of skin. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production while the heat causes skin tightening.
Helix’s ablative treatments range from more intense, advanced CO2 laser resurfacing that targets deep wrinkles and laxity to the awardwinning and exclusive CoolPeel®.
CoolPeel is superficial resurfacing that reduces fine lines, wrinkles and sun-damage while improving skin tone and texture all with low to no-downtime.
Fusion (Enhanced Dual-Modality)
Helix’s innovative Fusion treatment combines ablative and non-ablative energy in a single session, delivering faster healing and enhanced results. By blending proprietary CO2 and 1570nm wavelengths, Fusion uniquely targets multiple skin depths and concerns—while remaining safe for both light and dark skin types.
This dual-action approach improves skin tone, elasticity, and texture by simultaneously removing superficial damaged tissue and stimulating deeper collagen remodeling beneath the surface.

After Your Treatment
Experience lasting results with proper post-care. Following your HELIX CO₂ Laser session, your skin begins a powerful process of renewal—stimulating collagen, refining texture, and revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion over time. Redness or mild flaking is normal as your skin naturally heals. Keep the area hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure, and follow your provider’s after-care recommendations to ensure optimal recovery and long-term glow.
Most clients see visible results after just one session. For deeper wrinkles, scars, or texture issues, a series of 2–3 treatments may be recommended for best results.
Downtime varies by treatment depth — typically 2–5 days for full resurfacing and minimal downtime with lighter settings like CoolPeel. Mild redness or flaking is normal as skin renews.
Yes. With customized settings and professional evaluation, the HELIX CO₂ Laser is safe and effective for a wide range of skin tones and concerns.
Skin looks smoother and more radiant within a week, with continued improvement over 3–6 months as collagen production increases. Results can last up to a year or more.
