Laser skin resurfacing is a highly effective cosmetic treatment that rejuvenates the skin by using concentrated beams of light to remove damaged outer layers and stimulate the body's natural collagen production. This process smooths the skin's surface, reduces signs of aging, and improves overall tone and texture - making it a go-to solution for wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. When it comes to results, CO2 laser technology remains the gold standard in the eyes of many plastic surgeons and dermatologists. Its ability to deeply resurface the skin with precision and stimulate robust collagen remodeling makes it the benchmark for true skin transformation. At Galena Aesthetics, we elevate this gold standard with the Helix laser, a next-generation CO2 device featuring the award-winning CoolPeel® technology. This allows us to offer the impressive benefits of traditional CO2 resurfacing - without the extended downtime.
At Galena Aesthetics, we are committed to offering only the most advanced, effective, and safe technologies to our clients. After extensive research and hands-on experience with a wide range of laser platforms, Maria Pancorbo, APRN and Roshani Patel, APRN made the decision to bring the Helix Laser Skin Resurfacing system to Galena Aesthetics - a decision rooted in their dedication to excellence and client care. Both Maria and Roshani have worked with numerous laser devices throughout their careers and understand the importance of selecting a system that delivers transformative results while maintaining the highest standards of safety and comfort. They sought a laser unlike any other - one that could offer remarkable skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime - and found exactly that in the Helix with CoolPeel® technology. CoolPeel® has been recognized as an industry leader, awarded Best CO2 Laser Treatment by NewBeauty for three consecutive years. As a trusted authority in aesthetics and beauty, NewBeauty is known for its rigorous evaluation process and its influence in guiding consumers toward the best innovations in the field. The repeated recognition of CoolPeel® solidified Roshani and Maria's confidence that this technology would provide an unparalleled experience for Galena's clients. The precision, safety profile, and impressive results of Helix Laser Skin Resurfacing make it a clear choice. It represents the perfect combination of science, innovation, and artistry - aligning with Galena Aesthetics' mission to deliver outstanding outcomes and personalized care for every individual. Choosing Helix means choosing the best for your skin. And at Galena Aesthetics, that's exactly what we believe you deserve.
At Galena Aesthetics, we proudly offer skin rejuvenation through the Helix Laser, a revolutionary device that combines the power of traditional CO2 resurfacing with the refinement of CoolPeel® technology - delivering incredible results with dramatically reduced downtime. The Helix Laser works by delivering short, high-energy pulses of CO2 laser light to the skin in a controlled, fractionated manner. These microbeams precisely target and vaporize damaged skin cells on the surface while simultaneously heating the deeper dermis. This dual action stimulates the body's natural healing response, triggering robust collagen and elastin production - the essential building blocks of youthful, firm skin. Thanks to its advanced technology, Helix offers two significant benefits: Precision Treatment: By creating microscopic zones of treated skin surrounded by untouched healthy tissue, the Helix system promotes faster healing while minimizing the risk of hyperpigmentation and other side effects common with older CO2 systems. Minimal Downtime with CoolPeel®: Traditional CO2 treatments often require extended recovery, but Helix's CoolPeel® technology enables high-level resurfacing without the heavy thermal damage - allowing you to enjoy smoother, clearer, more radiant skin with just a few days of mild redness and minimal discomfort.
The Helix Laser with CoolPeel® technology is designed to treat a wide range of skin concerns with exceptional precision and flexibility. It is an ideal option for individuals seeking noticeable skin rejuvenation without the prolonged downtime traditionally associated with CO2 resurfacing. Common Indications for Helix Laser Skin Resurfacing Include: Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smooth the appearance of fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, and soften deeper wrinkles caused by aging and sun exposure. Sun Damage and Pigmentation: Reverse signs of sun damage such as brown spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone, restoring a more even, youthful complexion. Acne Scarring and Other Scars: Improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and minor traumatic scars by promoting collagen remodeling and resurfacing damaged skin. Enlarged Pores: Refine the look of enlarged pores for a smoother, more polished skin texture. Skin Laxity: Stimulate collagen production to tighten and firm mildly loose or crepey skin, particularly around the eyes, jawline, and neck. Rough Skin Texture: Improve overall skin softness and smoothness by removing rough, damaged surface layers. Preventative Anti-Aging Treatments: Younger patients seeking to maintain youthful skin can benefit from the collagen-boosting effects of light resurfacing with minimal downtime. Because the Helix Laser can be precisely tailored to each patient's needs, it is appropriate for a wide range of ages and skin types when performed by experienced Providers.
The Helix Laser with CoolPeel® technology is highly versatile and can safely treat a variety of areas where signs of aging, sun damage, or textural irregularities appear. Because of its precision and customizable settings, treatments can be tailored to delicate or more resilient areas alike. Commonly Treated Areas Include: Face: Target fine lines, wrinkles, sunspots, rough texture, and acne scarring for an overall rejuvenated appearance. Neck: Improve skin laxity, texture, and tone in this delicate area that often shows early signs of aging. Décolletage (Chest): Address sun damage, pigmentation, and crepey skin to restore a more youthful, even skin tone. Hands: Minimize sunspots, age spots, and skin thinning that commonly affect the backs of the hands. Around the Eyes: Smooth fine lines (crow's feet) and firm delicate under-eye skin with precision and care. Around the Mouth: Soften smoker's lines and other deep wrinkles around the lips for a more refreshed look. Scars on the Body: Improve the appearance of surgical scars, acne scars, or other textural irregularities on areas like the arms, back, or legs. Because the Helix system allows us to finely control the depth and intensity of treatment, we can safely address both large and small areas - making it one of the most advanced tools for total skin rejuvenation.
The number of Helix Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments needed depends on your skin goals, the severity of your concerns, and the specific settings chosen for your treatment. Mild to Moderate Concerns: Many patients see noticeable improvement after just one session when treating mild wrinkles, sun damage, or uneven texture. More Advanced Skin Concerns: For deeper wrinkles, significant sun damage, or scarring, a series of 2–3 treatments spaced 1-3 months apart may be recommended for optimal results. Maintenance Treatments: To maintain your results and continue building collagen over time, annual or semi-annual maintenance sessions can be beneficial. Because the Helix system offers customizable treatment depths - from gentle CoolPeel® treatments to deeper ablative resurfacing - we design a personalized plan that matches your skin's needs and your lifestyle downtime preferences.

To achieve the best results from your Helix Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment at Galena Aesthetics, proper skincare preparation is key. Here's how you can get your skin ready for this rejuvenating procedure: Avoid Sun Exposure: For at least two weeks before your treatment, avoid prolonged sun exposure. If you need to be outdoors, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of side effects and compromise your results. Discontinue Retinol and Exfoliating Products: Stop using retinoids (like Retin-A), AHAs, BHAs, or any exfoliating products about 5–7 days before your treatment. These products can make your skin more sensitive, so giving your skin a break will help reduce the risk of irritation. Hydrate Your Skin: Keep your skin hydrated by using a gentle moisturizer in the weeks leading up to your treatment. Hydrated skin promotes a stronger skin barrier and enhances healing, allowing you to get the best possible results. Avoid Waxing or Chemical Peels: We recommend stopping waxing or undergoing chemical peels at least 1–2 weeks before your treatment. These procedures can increase your skin's sensitivity, so it's best to allow your skin time to recover before resurfacing. Consult with Our Experts: At Galena Aesthetics, Maria and Roshani will provide personalized skincare advice to ensure you're fully prepared for your Helix treatment. From recommending gentle cleansers to targeted serums, they will guide you on the best pre-treatment routine to enhance your results. No Active Skin Infections: Please avoid treatment if you have active skin conditions like cold sores, fungal infections, or open wounds. Inform Maria or Roshani ahead of time so we can reschedule if needed. The goal is to ensure a safe and effective treatment for you.
We know your time (and comfort) matters - that's why Helix with CoolPeel technology is one of the most advanced, patient-friendly resurfacing treatments available. During Treatment: - Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize any discomfort. - You may feel a warm, tingling sensation or a mild snapping as the laser works - most patients describe it as very tolerable. - Treatment time varies depending on the area, but most sessions are less than an hour. After Treatment: Minimal Downtime with CoolPeel: - If you're receiving a lighter CoolPeel treatment, expect some redness similar to a mild sunburn for 1–2 days. This is perfect for those who want results with little interruption to their schedule. More Intensive Treatments: - If deeper resurfacing is needed, you may experience redness, slight swelling, and mild peeling for 5–7 days.
