Skip to content Are you looking for a powerful solution to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, large pores, uneven skin tone, and stubborn hyperpigmentation? The HELIX laser offers a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime, combining the best of both ablative and non-ablative laser technology.
At Renew Wellness and Aesthetics in London, OH, we use the HELIX laser’s customizable settings to target your specific skin concerns and help you achieve smoother, healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
The HELIX laser is a revolutionary non-surgical skin resurfacing system that combines the ablative power of a CO2 laser with the non-ablative power of the 1570nm laser. This dual-action technology improves multiple skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, large pores, uneven skin tone, and stubborn hyperpigmentation like brown spots or age spots. If you’re seeking a powerful approach to skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime, this is your treatment.
The HELIX laser offers three distinct treatment modes, each designed to address different skin concerns:
This gentle, fractional treatment uses the 1570nm laser to target water in the skin. The process enhances collagen production, promoting improved skin elasticity, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and an overall smoother and more youthful complexion without damaging the surface. It's suitable for all skin types and provides excellent thermal collagen stimulation.
This award-winning, minimal-downtime fractional ablative laser treatment uses the CO2 laser's high-peak power to gently remove the epidermis, resurfacing irregularities and stimulating collagen production in the dermis for smoother, healthier skin. CoolPeel effectively addresses fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and age spots, large pores, and textural concerns with a fraction of the downtime associated with traditional CO2 lasers.
This mode combines both CoolPeel's fractional ablative and Sultra's non-ablative energies in various sequences or alternating modes within a single session to vaporize and coagulate tissues quickly. This versatility allows for customized treatment plans targeting deeper concerns while promoting surface-level improvements.
The HELIX device offers three different settings to address various skin concerns:
The HELIX laser can treat multiple areas of the body, including:
These treatments address concerns like sun damage, uneven skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and more.
Our team will help you with every step of the process on the day of your consultation. A topical anesthetic will be given to numb the area. The procedure itself can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the settings used.
The downtime for HELIX laser treatment depends on the specific treatment option used:
Minimal downtime compared to traditional CO2 lasers. You might experience some redness, swelling, and possibly some mild flaking for up to 24 hours. Most patients can resume their normal routines the next day with minimal social downtime.
Since it doesn’t remove the top layer of skin, Sultra has practically no downtime. You might experience some temporary flushing or redness that fades. There may be some swelling associated with the procedure.
Downtime will depend on the specific combination and settings used. Downtime can range from minimal redness for a day (similar to Sultra) to up to a week of redness and swelling (similar to CoolPeel), depending on the intensity settings used.
You will see results within a few weeks, with continued improvements up to 3 months as your skin continues to rebuild collagen and elastin.
For best results, you should receive a minimum of 2-3 treatments spaced at varying intervals based on the specific treatment option used:
Treatments are generally 4-6 weeks apart in a series of 3-5 treatments. The interval between treatments will increase for more aggressive treatments.
Treatments are recommended annually, but may require 2-3 sessions initially spaced 6-8 weeks apart to achieve desired results.
Treatments are recommended annually, but may require 2-3 sessions initially spaced 6-8 weeks apart to achieve desired results.
Results vary, but with proper skincare and sun protection, the results can be long-lasting. You will continue to see results after your treatment as you continue to rebuild collagen and elastin. It takes about 2 years for your collagen to naturally break down, but longevity varies based on each individual’s health, lifestyle, and use of a proper skincare regimen.
