Helix Laser Skin Resurfacing

This treatment is highly effective in improving a range of skin conditions, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles – The laser stimulates collagen production, smoothing out fine lines and reducing the appearance of deeper wrinkles.
• Acne scars and surgical scars – By resurfacing the skin, Helix Laser helps to soften the appearance of scars, promoting a smoother skin texture.
• Uneven skin tone and pigmentation – Sunspots, age spots, melasma, and other pigmentation irregularities can be significantly reduced with laser resurfacing.
• Sun damage – The laser removes damaged skin cells, restoring a more even, healthier complexion.
• Large pores – The treatment tightens skin and reduces the size of enlarged pores.
• Skin laxity – By stimulating collagen and elastin, the laser helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity.
• Dull complexion – Patients looking for an overall skin refresh will notice improved radiance and a youthful glow after treatment.

This treatment is ideal for individuals looking for overall skin rejuvenation or those targeting specific concerns such as signs of aging, discoloration, and scarring.

The number of treatments varies depending on the severity of skin concerns and individual goals.

• Many patients achieve noticeable results after just one session.
• For deeper wrinkles, significant acne scarring, or severe pigmentation, two to three sessions may be recommended, spaced four to six weeks apart.
• Dr. Zeena will assess each patient’s skin and provide a tailored treatment plan for the best possible results.

Helix Laser Skin Resurfacing offers long-lasting benefits, with improvements continuing for months after treatment as collagen production increases.

After a Helix Laser treatment, patients may experience redness, swelling, and a mild burning sensation, similar to a sunburn. The skin will gradually heal over the course of one to two weeks, depending on the depth of the treatment.

Immediate post-treatment effects

• Redness and swelling – These are common reactions and usually subside within a few days.
• Peeling and flaking – The skin will naturally exfoliate as new, healthier skin emerges.
• Tightness and sensitivity – The treated skin may feel tight and slightly sensitive for the first few days.

Post-treatment care guidelines

To ensure proper healing and maximize results, Dr. Zeena recommends the following aftercare:

• Keep the skin moisturized – Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to soothe the skin and aid recovery.
• Avoid sun exposure – Direct sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation and slow healing. Always wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
• Use gentle skincare products – Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and other irritating ingredients for at least one to two weeks post-treatment.
• Stay hydrated – Drinking plenty of water helps with skin regeneration.
• Avoid picking or peeling – Let the skin naturally shed old layers to prevent scarring and uneven healing.

Patients will begin to see initial improvements within a week or two, with continued enhancement over the following three to six months as new collagen forms.

Helix Laser Skin Resurfacing is suitable for individuals looking to improve skin tone, texture, and signs of aging with minimal downtime. It is effective for a wide range of skin types, but certain conditions may require consultation with Dr. Zeena before treatment.
