What Is Helix Fusion?

Helix Fusion is a dual laser treatment that combines the resurfacing power of CO2 with the tissue-tightening impact of a 1570nm laser, all in one treatment.  Helix Fusion is designed to resurface the skin, boost collagen, and dramatically improve texture, tone, and firmness. It combines deep ablative technology with customizable settings, making it ideal for treating more advanced signs of aging, acne scarring, and sun damage. Think of it as a powerful reset for your skin—refining pores, smoothing lines, and tightening all in one treatment.

What Is CoolPeel?

CoolPeel is a gentler, lighter version of CO₂ laser resurfacing that delivers similar benefits with less heat—and therefore, less downtime. It targets the superficial layer of skin to improve fine lines, texture, and dullness while still triggering collagen production. You’ll get the glow without the extended recovery, making it perfect for a subtle refresh or as part of a long-term skin maintenance plan.

Which One Is Right for Me?

  • Choose Helix Fusion if…
    You’re looking for more dramatic results and are ready to treat deeper wrinkles, texture issues, scarring, or skin laxity. You’re comfortable with a bit more downtime (usually 5–10 days) and want long-term skin remodeling.

  • Choose CoolPeel if…
    You want a refresh with minimal downtime, have mild signs of aging or sun damage, or are looking for a series of treatments to maintain healthy, glowing skin over time. It's great for first-time laser clients or for in-between more intensive treatments.

Helix Fusion + CoolPeel FAQs

  • For Helix Fusion, many clients see significant results after just one treatment, especially for deeper concerns like scarring or wrinkles.


    For CoolPeel, we typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart for best results. Maintenance treatments can be done as needed.

  • Both treatments are very tolerable with topical numbing applied beforehand.


    CoolPeel feels like a warm, prickly sensation and is often described as a "spicy facial."


    Helix Fusion goes deeper and may feel more intense, especially in sensitive areas, but numbing keeps you comfortable throughout.

  • CoolPeel has minimal downtime—expect redness, light peeling, or a sandpaper-like texture for 2–5 days.


    Helix Fusion has more recovery time, typically 5–10 days of redness, dryness, and flaking. It’s more intensive, but also delivers more dramatic results.

  • CoolPeel is safe for most skin types and tones.


    Helix Fusion is best suited for fair to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III). Your provider will evaluate your skin to ensure safety and customize your treatment accordingly.

  • Most people notice a brighter, smoother complexion within the first week.


    For both treatments, collagen production continues over the next several weeks, so your skin will keep improving for up to 3 months after each session.
