At Phases, we are thrilled to introduce the HELIX laser, the pinnacle of skin rejuvenation technology. Utilizing the most advanced fractional ablative CO2 technology and non-ablative resurfacing, HELIX offers unparalleled versatility and superior results with minimal downtime. Here’s everything you need to know about this revolutionary treatment and how it can transform your skin.
Versatile and Customizable Treatments
HELIX stands out for its ability to provide three exclusive branded treatments, each tailored to address specific skin concerns:
- CoolPeel: This award-winning, no-downtime fractional ablative treatment gently resurfaces the skin, effectively targeting hyperpigmentation and scarring without damaging surrounding tissue.
- Sultra: A gentle, fractional non-ablative treatment, Sultra stimulates collagen production by breaking down tissue, resulting in plumper, more youthful skin.
- FUSION: Combining both ablative and non-ablative techniques, FUSION offers faster healing and enhanced results, making it safe and effective for all skin types.
How HELIX Works
HELIX laser technology combines non-ablative fractional and ablative modalities to combat various skin issues such as acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and textural irregularities. By delivering precise, fractionated laser energy, HELIX creates micro-coagulation zones that the body repairs, replacing damaged cells with fresh, healthy skin.

- Customizable Treatments: Each session is tailored to your unique skin type and concerns, ensuring optimal results.
- Minimal Downtime: With advanced technology, HELIX minimizes recovery time, allowing you to quickly return to your daily activities.
- Improved Skin Health: By stimulating collagen production, HELIX enhances skin elasticity and hydration, promoting long-term skin health.
- Versatility: Whether you need a gentle refresh or a more intensive resurfacing, HELIX’s customizable settings can address a wide range of skin concerns effectively.
The HELIX Laser Resurfacing Process
Consultation
Your journey with HELIX begins with a comprehensive consultation at our office. During this session, your aesthetician will discuss your skin concerns, examine the targeted areas, and create a personalized treatment plan. This ensures that each treatment is tailored to your specific needs, whether it’s fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, acne scarring, or uneven skin tone and texture.
Preparation
Before your HELIX treatment, it’s essential to avoid retinoid application and peeling solutions for one to two weeks. If you’re undergoing treatments near the mouth or have a history of cold sores, your specialist may recommend an oral antiviral medication. Additionally, a topical numbing agent may be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
The Procedure
Each HELIX session varies in length, typically lasting between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and the specific modalities used. During the procedure, your specialist will pass the HELIX handpiece over your skin, alternating between ablative and non-ablative technologies as determined by your treatment plan. You might experience a slight snapping sensation from the ablative technology and a gentle warming sensation from the non-ablative component.
Post-Treatment Care
After your treatment, your skin may appear red, and you might notice small micro dots, called mendz, where the laser was applied. These mendz will darken and feel rough before sloughing off within days 3-5, revealing renewed skin beneath. The post-care regimen is simple: use a moisturizing physical sunscreen and avoid sun exposure. Makeup can be worn 24 hours after treatment.
Achieving Optimal Results
For the best outcomes, we recommend a series of three or more treatments. While results can vary based on individual healing processes and lifestyle factors, HELIX stimulates collagen production, which means full results can take several weeks to months to become visible. Once optimal results are achieved, maintenance treatments once per year are suggested to preserve your skin’s rejuvenated appearance.
