Overview
DEKA CO₂ Laser Resurfacing at Lunè
Helix DEKA CO₂ Laser Treatment is the next level in skin rejuvenation. Our advanced Cartessa Helix CO₂ laser is a powerful resurfacing treatment designed for dramatic, long‑lasting results in a single session. The Helix delivers a deeper, more intensive fractional CO₂ treatment compared to lighter options like CoolPeel® or Fusion, making it ideal for patients seeking significant improvement without committing to a multi‑session series.
The Helix CO₂ laser targets fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, texture irregularities, acne scarring, and overall skin laxity with exceptional precision. Because of its strength and efficiency, most patients achieve their desired outcome with just one treatment, rather than returning for multiple visits.
For enhanced customization, the Helix can also be paired with a lighter, non‑ablative treatment to target more delicate or stubborn areas—such as around the eyes or the mouth, including intense smoker’s lines—allowing for focused refinement where patients need it most. Beyond the face, this technology can be used on the body to address surgical scars, injury‑related scarring, and deeper acne scarring, offering a versatile solution for comprehensive skin resurfacing.
If you’re looking for a transformative resurfacing option that delivers smoother, tighter, more radiant skin with long‑term benefits, the Helix CO₂ laser stands in a class of its own.
What CO₂ Laser treats
DEKA CO₂ laser treatments target advanced skin resurfacing and collagen stimulation to improve deeper signs of aging and skin damage. This treatment works by removing damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating new collagen production, helping to improve overall skin texture, tone, and firmness.
DEKA CO₂ is commonly used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. It is also effective for improving deeper wrinkles, rough skin texture, enlarged pores, and moderate skin laxity. As the skin heals and new collagen forms, patients typically notice smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
In addition to the face, DEKA CO₂ laser treatments can also target areas such as the neck, chest, and around the eyes or mouth, where more advanced resurfacing may be needed. This treatment is ideal for patients looking for more dramatic skin rejuvenation and longer-lasting results compared to lighter laser treatments.

What to expect
Your visit, step by step.
The appointment
A DEKA CO₂ laser treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the intensity of the treatment. Smaller areas, such as around the eyes or mouth, may take closer to 30 minutes, while full-face treatments or more advanced resurfacing may take up to an hour. The appointment may also include time for numbing, preparation, and post-treatment instructions.
Downtime

How often
DEKA CO₂ laser treatments are typically performed once every 12–24 months, as they are more advanced resurfacing treatments that produce longer-lasting results.
