What Is Helix – CoolPeel, Sultra, and Fusion?

In the realm of aesthetic medicine, the pursuit of youthful, radiant skin has led to continuous advancements in laser technologies. One such innovation is the Helix system, which offers three distinct treatment modalities: CoolPeel, Sultra, and Fusion. Each of these treatments caters to specific skin concerns, providing patients with tailored solutions for their aesthetic goals.

Understanding the Helix System

The Helix system is a cutting-edge platform that combines fractional ablative CO₂ laser technology with non-ablative 1570nm laser treatments. This combination allows for comprehensive skin resurfacing, targeting both superficial and deeper skin layers to address various concerns. The versatility of the Helix system lies in its ability to customize treatments based on individual patient needs, making it a valuable tool in modern dermatology and aesthetic practices.

CoolPeel: Advanced CO₂ Resurfacing

CoolPeel is an innovative CO₂ laser treatment designed to resurface the skin with minimal downtime. Unlike traditional CO₂ lasers that often require extended recovery periods, CoolPeel delivers controlled energy to the superficial skin layers, effectively reducing fine lines, sun damage, and pore size without significant thermal damage to surrounding tissues. This precision minimizes downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities promptly.

How CoolPeel Works

CoolPeel utilizes short, high-peak-power pulses of CO₂ laser energy to ablate the outermost skin layers. This controlled ablation stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, promoting collagen production and the regeneration of healthy skin cells. The result is a smoother, more even complexion with a reduced appearance of fine lines and improved skin texture. 

Benefits of CoolPeel

• Minimal Downtime 

Patients can typically resume normal activities shortly after treatment, with only mild redness resembling a sunburn.

• Precision Treatment

The targeted approach reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation and other side effects associated with traditional CO₂ lasers.

• Versatility 

CoolPeel is effective for various skin types and can address multiple concerns, including fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture.

Sultra: Non-Ablative Collagen Stimulation

Sultra is a gentle, non-ablative laser treatment that employs a 1570nm wavelength to penetrate the deeper dermal layers without damaging the skin’s surface. This approach stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness over time. Sultra is particularly suitable for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation with minimal to no downtime.

How Sultra Works

By delivering thermal energy to the dermis, Sultra induces controlled heating, which triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response. This response leads to increased collagen and elastin production, essential components for maintaining youthful, resilient skin. Since the epidermis remains intact, patients experience minimal discomfort and can quickly return to their routines. 

Benefits of Sultra

• No Downtime

Patients can immediately resume daily activities, making it an excellent option for those with busy lifestyles.

• Suitable for All Skin Types

The non-ablative nature of Sultra makes it safe and effective across various skin tones and types.

• Gradual, Natural-Looking Results 

Improvements in skin texture and firmness develop progressively, offering subtle yet noticeable enhancements.

Fusion: Comprehensive Skin Rejuvenation

Fusion represents the pinnacle of the Helix system’s capabilities, combining the benefits of both CoolPeel and Sultra treatments. This hybrid approach allows practitioners to address multiple skin concerns in a single session, offering patients a comprehensive rejuvenation experience.

How Fusion Works

By integrating fractional ablative CO₂ resurfacing with non-ablative 1570nm laser therapy, Fusion targets both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin. The CO₂ component addresses surface imperfections such as fine lines and uneven texture, while the 1570nm laser stimulates collagen production in the dermis. This dual-action approach results in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion.

Benefits of Fusion

• Enhanced Results

Combining two modalities maximizes treatment outcomes, providing more significant improvements in skin appearance.

• Customized Treatment

Practitioners can tailor the intensity and focus of each component to meet individual patient needs.

• Efficient Sessions

Addressing multiple concerns simultaneously reduces the need for separate treatments, saving time for both patients and providers.

Considerations and Expectations

Before undergoing any Helix system treatment, it’s essential to consult with a qualified aesthetic professional at Laser Skin & Wellness to determine the most appropriate modality based on individual skin concerns and goals. While CoolPeel, Sultra, and Fusion offer minimal downtime compared to traditional laser therapies, patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity post-treatment. Adhering to post-procedure care instructions is crucial to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects.

Patients can expect to see gradual improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness over several weeks to months as collagen remodeling occurs. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain and enhance results over time.

The Helix system offers versatile and effective solutions for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation with minimal disruption to their daily lives. By harnessing advanced laser technologies through treatments like CoolPeel, Sultra, and Fusion, it provides tailored approaches to address a wide range of skin concerns, from superficial imperfections to deeper structural issues.
