What Is the Helix CO2 Laser?

The Helix CO2 laser platform from Cartessa combines the ablative CoolPeel and non-ablative Sultra laser for treatments customized to every patient.

Helix treatments require planning, as patients often require a week of downtime while their skin heals. We recommend contacting one of our skin specialists, who can help determine when this treatment fits into your schedule.

Sultra

Sultra is a non-ablative laser that uses thermal energy to rejuvenate the skin without removing the skin’s uppermost layers.

It addresses deeper skin concerns, such as:

• Deep lines and wrinkles
• Surgical scars
• Laxity, or looseness

During a process called controlled thermal coagulation, the Sultra laser penetrates the skin’s middle layers, targeting damaged skin cells. Once it enters the skin, the laser’s light energy converts into heat, creating controlled damage.

This prompts the body’s natural healing response, stimulating production of collagen and elastin (proteins responsible for skin strength, structure, and elasticity).

As a result, treatment yields a smoother, more youthful complexion.

CoolPeel

CoolPeel is an ablative CO2 laser in Philadelphia that removes the uppermost layer of the skin, revealing the fresh, healthy skin underneath.

It addresses cosmetic concerns, such as:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Large pores
• Acne scars
• Sun damage or hyperpigmentation

CoolPeel removes dead and damaged skin cells from the surface and creates superficial microscopic injuries using H-pulse: high-power, short-pulse carbon dioxide beams.

These controlled injuries stimulate the creation of new skin cells and prompt collagen and elastin production. After CoolPeel, these proteins improve the appearance of fine lines by up to 90%, resulting in a refreshed complexion.

The CoolPeel CO2 laser in Philadelphia refines the traditional CO2 laser experience by reducing unnecessary heat damage to the skin cells surrounding the treatment areas, minimizing redness and downtime.

Fusion

Fusion combines the Sultra and CoolPeel lasers into a single session to customize your Helix treatment, optimizing results and ensuring safe and effective treatment for every patient.

In many cases, patients who require Sultra also need CoolPeel, as deeper skin concerns cause surface-level indicators. You may notice these superficial concerns first, but they often result from damage deep in the skin’s dermis.
