The Future of Skin Resurfacing

Helix CO2 Laser in Rye, NY

Q: How does the Helix CO2 Laser work?

The Helix uses fractional laser technology, delivering laser energy in micro-columns to stimulate collagen production and promote skin regeneration. This allows for precision treatment with minimal downtime.

Q: Is the Helix CO2 Laser painful?

Patients typically feel only mild discomfort during the procedure, thanks to the numbing cream applied beforehand. There may be slight tingling or warmth, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.

Q: What is the recovery time after a Helix CO2 Laser treatment?

The recovery time varies depending on the intensity of the treatment. For CoolPeel, there is minimal downtime, with redness and mild flaking lasting a few days. For more intense treatments, healing time may extend to one to two weeks.

Experience the Helix CO2 Laser, a cutting-edge, dual-technology treatment in Rye, NY. This innovative system combines ablative and non-ablative laser energy to stimulate collagen production, resurface damaged skin, and improve tone and texture, all within a single customizable device.

With flexible treatment intensities and reduced downtime, this pioneering technology is a powerful way to achieve smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin. The Formula Medspa is proud to offer this advanced treatment to clients across Westchester County, helping them achieve visible, lasting results.

What is the Helix CO2 Laser?

The Helix CO2 Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing solution that utilizes fractional laser technology powered by 70 watts of energy. Fractional lasers, such as the Helix, deliver laser energy in small, precise columns, allowing the skin to heal naturally and stimulate collagen production without significant damage to the surrounding tissue.

This makes the treatment faster, safer, and more effective than traditional CO2 lasers, which often leave patients with longer recovery times.

One of the most innovative features of the Helix CO2 Laser is its ability to combine ablative and non-ablative treatments in a single device. This flexibility allows for precise customization based on your specific skin concerns, type, and healing preferences. The Helix CO2 system offers three specialized treatments:

CoolPeel

A no-downtime fractional ablative treatment ideal for surface-level concerns.

Sultra

A gentle, fractional non-ablative treatment that stimulates collagen production with minimal downtime.

Fusion

A combination of ablative and non-ablative treatments for enhanced results and faster healing.

Science Behind the Helix CO2 Laser

The Helix CO2 Laser combines 1570nm fiber laser with 10,600nm CO2 technology, creating a treatment that’s both highly effective and safe for all skin types. The integration of DEKA’s Pulse Shape Design (PSD™) ensures precise control over energy, duration, and pulse shapes, including the unique H-Pulse and Deka-Pulse modes. This allows for deep skin resurfacing without compromising safety or comfort.

Ablative Technology (CO2 Laser)

Ablative lasers, like the CO2 component of the Helix, work by removing thin layers of damaged skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity.

Non-Ablative Technology (Sultra)

Combination Treatments (Fusion)

HELIX CO2 LASER BENEFITS

A Smarter Way to Resurface Your Skin

Skin damage occurs at different depths, which is why single-technology lasers often fall short. Helix works at multiple layers simultaneously, combining ablative and non-ablative energy to resurface and rebuild, so results are both immediate and long-lasting.

Stimulates Collagen Production for Long-Term Benefits

The Helix CO2 Laser works by stimulating the deeper layers of the skin, which promotes collagen production. Over time, this leads to firmer, tighter skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other imperfections.
Unmatched Power and Versatility

With 70 watts of energy and the ability to use ablative and non-ablative treatments together, the Helix CO2 Laser is the most powerful and versatile skin resurfacing device available today. This advanced combination allows for tailored treatments based on your skin's unique needs, ensuring the best possible results.
Customizable Treatments for Every Skin Type

Helix can be customized to treat a wide range of skin concerns. You can choose from three exclusive treatments (CoolPeel, Sultra, and Fusion), or have them combined for superior results. This means that Helix can be tailored to light to dark skin types and target areas beyond the face, such as the neck, chest, and hands.
Reduced Downtime with Effective Results

The Helix CO2 Laser delivers powerful results for treating issues like acne scars, fine lines, or sun damage while ensuring minimal recovery time. This is achieved through advanced fractional technology, which accelerates the healing process compared to conventional treatments.

Treatment Process with the Helix CO2 Laser

Step 1

Consultation and Skin Assessment

During your initial consultation, we will evaluate your skin type, discuss your goals, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan using the Helix CO2 Laser. We will explain each step of the procedure and answer any questions you have.

Step 2

Preparation

Before the treatment begins, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, we may use additional anesthesia for more sensitive areas.

Step 3

Laser Treatment

The Helix CO2 Laser is applied to the treatment area, delivering fractional energy to the skin. The treatment may take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the area being treated.

Step 4

Post-Treatment Care

After the procedure, you may experience mild redness and swelling. These effects are temporary and should subside within a few days. You will be provided with detailed aftercare instructions, including advice on moisturizing, avoiding direct sun exposure, and using sunscreen.

Results of Helix CO2 Laser Treatment

Patients typically see improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness after a single treatment. However, more severe conditions, such as deep wrinkles or scarring, may require additional sessions.

Results continue to improve over time as collagen production increases, leaving you with smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
