Rejuvenate your skin with ablative and non-ablative lasers
Helix CO2 skin resurfacing is an innovative laser treatment that rejuvenates the skin by combining nano-fractional CO2 technology with a 1570nm wavelength for enhanced tightening and faster healing. This dual-energy approach allows for both ablative and non-ablative results, making it ideal for improving wrinkles, scars, pores, laxity, and pigmentation. The treatment provides dramatic resurfacing with reduced discomfort and downtime, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

How Helix CO2 skin resurfacing works
Helix CO2 skin resurfacing uses a dual-wavelength laser system to deliver powerful yet precise skin rejuvenation. By combining nano-fractional CO2 energy with a 1570nm wavelength, this advanced platform targets multiple layers of the skin to promote collagen remodeling, skin tightening, and accelerated healing with less downtime than traditional resurfacing lasers.
Nano-fractional CO2
The nano-fractional CO2 laser creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, triggering a controlled wound-healing response. This fractional approach delivers energy only to targeted zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact, which promotes faster recovery and natural skin regeneration. The CO2 energy vaporizes damaged skin cells and stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and texture irregularities.
1570nm wavelength
The 1570nm wavelength is a non-ablative component that penetrates deeper into the dermis without damaging the outer skin layer. It heats the tissue to stimulate collagen remodeling and skin tightening from within. When used in combination with nano-fractional CO2, the 1570nm wavelength enhances the overall results by accelerating healing, minimizing downtime, and supporting long-term improvements in firmness and elasticity.
Advantages of Helix CO2 skin resurfacing:
- Combines ablative and non-ablative technologies for comprehensive results
- Stimulates collagen and elastin for long-term skin rejuvenation
- Improves fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and texture in one treatment
- Reduces downtime compared to traditional CO2 lasers
- Minimizes discomfort with precision-targeted energy delivery
- Safe and effective for a wide range of skin concerns
- Customizable treatment levels for different skin types and goals
The recovery process
After your Helix CO2 skin resurfacing treatment, you can expect some redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation for the first few days. Most patients experience 3 to 7 days of social downtime, depending on the intensity of the treatment. You’ll need to keep your skin clean, moisturized, and protected from the sun. Dr. Snider will provide personalized aftercare instructions to support healing and help you achieve the best possible results.
