What is the Helix CO2 Laser?
The Helix CO2 laser is a cutting-edge skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve upon the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. Only Helix CO2 laser offers the benefits of advanced CO2 ablative technology combined with non-ablative resurfacing for superior outcomes. The Helix has the ability to perform a range of treatments, including the CoolPeel, Sultra, and Fusion.
CoolPeel
The CoolPeel is an ablative CO2 laser treatment. It employs a high-powered beam of laser light that heats and vaporizes the outermost layer of damaged skin. In addition to minimizing pigmented lesions, this treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production while also tightening the skin. CoolPeel is an excellent option for individuals looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin tone and texture.
Sultra
Sultra is a non-ablative skin resurfacing treatment that uses laser light to gently heat deep below the skin without injuring the skin’s surface. This laser light stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, helping it to appear healthier over time. This option is effective for gradually improving fine lines and uneven skin tone and texture.
Fusion
The Fusion treatment blends ablative and non-ablative skin resurfacing to target different skin depths. This treatment vaporizes dead and damaged skin and delivers energy deep beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production. This treatment is a fantastic option for addressing multiple skin concerns in one treatment session.

Individuals looking to improve visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone or texture, can often benefit from the Helix CO2 laser. A consultation at Balance Medical SKIN is the best way to determine if this treatment is right for you.
The Helix CO2 Laser Treatment
The Helix CO2 laser treatment process may vary slightly depending on the exact laser treatment used. However, in general, treatment will begin with cleansing the treatment area and application of a topical numbing cream. During treatment, you may feel a warm or tingling sensation as the laser pulses on the skin. Treatment will take about 30 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Recovery and Results
Downtime following Helix CO2 laser treatments depends on the type of treatment performed. Following a CoolPeel, mild redness, swelling, and flaking may occur for up to 24 hours. Following the Sultra treatment, temporary redness may occur, but there is no downtime. Following a Fusion treatment, redness and swelling may occur for a few days. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure beautiful, natural-looking results.
