Helix CoolPeel
CoolPeel is a fractional CO2 laser treatment that resurfaces the outer layer of skin with far less downtime than traditional laser resurfacing. The Helix device delivers short, high-powered pulses of laser energy to clear away damaged surface cells and trigger new collagen production underneath, all while keeping heat from spreading into the surrounding tissue. The result is smoother, more even skin with a recovery window that fits into real life. CoolPeel is a great fit for fine lines, uneven texture, sun damage and acne scarring, and it can also help soften the look of brown spots.

Recovery typically takes 3 to 7 days. Skin may look and feel similar to a mild sunburn as it heals, and some light flaking is normal as the outer layer resurfaces. Sun protection is especially important during this time.
Skin often looks brighter within the first week, and improvement continues over the following months as new collagen forms beneath the surface.
