High-Tech, Skin-Deep Care

What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing is an advanced skin treatment that uses focused beams of laser energy to remove the top layers of damaged skin cells, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. It creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, prompting the formation of new collagen and healthy skin. It’s especially effective for improving skin texture, reducing acne scars, softening fine lines, and evening out tone caused by sun damage or aging.

Unlike topical treatments that only affect the skin’s surface, CO2 laser skin resurfacing works deeper, renewing the skin from within while preserving surrounding tissues for faster healing. It’s one of the most effective options for patients looking to restore smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin with long-lasting results.

Meet HELIX

At Hydrology Wellness, we use the HELIX laser system, one of the most advanced CO2 + 1570nm platforms available today. What sets HELIX apart is its dual-wavelength technology: it delivers both ablative CO2 energy and non-ablative 1570nm energy in a single device. HELIX offers several treatment modes, including:

CoolPeel® for light resurfacing with little to no downtime
Sultra® for deeper collagen stimulation and more intensive results
Fusion™, which blends both wavelengths in one pass for faster recovery and comprehensive skin remodeling

HELIX is safe for all skin types and is particularly effective for targeting specific skin concerns like acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and sun-damaged skin. HELIX helps patients achieve healthier, more youthful skin with less discomfort and downtime.

A Gentler Option

CoolPeel™ Laser Treatment

For people looking to improve skin tone and texture without the downtime typically associated with CO2 lasers, CoolPeel™ offers an ideal solution. Powered by the same HELIX platform used for deeper resurfacing, CoolPeel delivers precise laser energy to the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen without causing significant heat damage to surrounding tissues. This means you get many of the benefits of traditional CO2 laser resurfacing, like refined pores, smoother texture, and brighter skin, but with less redness, less peeling, and a significantly shorter recovery time. CoolPeel is ideal for:

Mild to moderate fine lines
Dull or uneven skin tone
Enlarged pores
Light sun damage
Overall skin refresh with minimal downtime

Most CoolPeel sessions take under 30 minutes and require only a few hours to a couple of days of social downtime. It’s a smart, modern approach to skin renewal, especially for those who want visible results without having to put life on pause.

Total Refresh

CO2 Laser Resurfacing Benefits

This outpatient procedure resurfaces your skin’s texture, tone, and overall quality by rebuilding from within. CO2 laser resurfacing can help:

Smooth wrinkles and fine lines for a more youthful-looking skin.
Treat surgical scars by tissue remodeling
Fade acne scars by breaking down old tissue and stimulating new collagen.
Improve uneven pigmentation and sun damage caused by years of sun exposure.
Tighten loose skin and refine large pores by supporting deeper collagen remodeling.
Even out skin tone and texture for a natural glow that lasts.

Most patients notice an improvement in their skin’s surface just a few days post-treatment, with full results continuing to reveal themselves over several weeks. Compared to other skin treatments, CO2 laser resurfacing offers a noticeable boost in skin quality with less downtime than you might expect.

Face, Neck, and Beyond
