Cartessa Helix CO2 Advanced Fractional Laser Resurfacing System
Cartessa Helix CO2 is an advanced fractional laser technology designed to deliver precise skin resurfacing, rejuvenation, and scar revision treatments. By combining CO2 laser power with intelligent scanning and customizable treatment modes, Helix CO2 provides effective clinical results while maintaining patient comfort and safety.
What Is Cartessa Helix CO2
Cartessa Helix CO2 is a medical-grade fractional carbon dioxide laser system developed for aesthetic and dermatological applications. It is designed to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation irregularities, and overall skin texture. The system allows practitioners to perform both superficial and deeper resurfacing procedures with controlled precision.
Fractional CO2 Laser Technology Explained
Helix CO2 works by delivering micro-columns of laser energy into the skin, creating controlled thermal zones that stimulate collagen remodeling and skin renewal. The fractional approach preserves surrounding tissue, supporting faster healing while enhancing treatment effectiveness.
Key Benefits of Cartessa Helix CO2
Cartessa Helix CO2 offers significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness. The system provides long-lasting rejuvenation results by promoting natural collagen production. Treatments can be tailored to individual skin types and conditions, making it suitable for a broad patient demographic.
Precision and Customization
The Helix CO2 platform allows precise control over energy settings, pulse duration, and treatment depth. This flexibility enables practitioners to customize procedures for fine lines, deep wrinkles, scars, and skin resurfacing with consistent and predictable outcomes.
Common Treatment Applications
Cartessa Helix CO2 is widely used for facial resurfacing, scar revision, stretch mark treatment, and skin tightening. It is also effective for treating sun damage and uneven skin texture on various areas of the body.
Facial and Body Resurfacing
The system is suitable for delicate facial areas as well as larger body zones. Advanced scanning technology ensures uniform energy distribution for smooth and natural-looking results.
Patient Comfort and Safety
Cartessa Helix CO2 is designed with patient safety and comfort in mind. The system’s controlled energy delivery minimizes thermal damage while supporting effective results. Integrated safety features help practitioners perform treatments with confidence.
Optimized Healing and Recovery
Thanks to its fractional technology, Helix CO2 supports faster recovery compared to traditional fully ablative lasers. Patients typically experience reduced downtime while achieving visible skin improvements.
Why Choose Cartessa Helix CO2 for Your Practice
Adding Cartessa Helix CO2 to an aesthetic or dermatology practice expands treatment capabilities and attracts patients seeking advanced laser resurfacing solutions. Its versatility, reliability, and clinical performance contribute to high patient satisfaction and strong practice growth potential.
A Future-Ready CO2 Laser Solution
Cartessa Helix CO2 represents a modern approach to skin resurfacing by combining proven CO2 laser efficacy with advanced control and customization, making it a valuable investment for forward-thinking clinics.
Cartessa Helix CO2 Fractional Laser System
Laser Technology and Power
Cartessa Helix CO2 combines advanced fractional ablative CO₂ laser (10,600 nm) with a 1570 nm fiber laser in a single platform allowing both ablative and non-ablative treatments. The system is powered by a 70 watt energy output, enabling deep tissue renewal and controlled resurfacing across varying skin concerns.
Dual Wavelength System
Helix integrates two key wavelengths in one unit: the CO₂ wavelength (10,600 nm) for ablative laser energy and the 1570 nm wavelength for non-ablative thermal stimulation. These can be applied separately or together in mixed modes for customized clinical results.
Pulse Shape and Control
The system features DEKA’s proprietary Pulse Shape Design (PSD™), which includes multiple pulse modalities such as H-Pulse and DEKA-Pulse, giving clinicians full control over CO₂ duration, pulse intensity, and tissue interaction. H-Pulse enables high-peak power pulses that allow superficial, low-downtime resurfacing treatments.
Treatment Modes
Helix supports a variety of clinical modes: fractional ablative, non-ablative, and combined settings. It offers at least seven mixed sequential and alternate energy modes, allowing tailored resurfacing depths and thermal effects based on patient needs and skin type.
Scanner and Delivery System
The technology includes advanced scanning patterns and customizable scan geometries up to 20 mm x 20 mm, including grid, spiral, and other shapes for precise energy delivery. An innovative “spray mode” maximizes scanning efficiency by minimizing pattern overlap and enhancing treatment speed.
Branded Protocols
Helix offers three signature treatment protocols:
CoolPeel, delivering superficial fractional ablation with minimal downtime using H-Pulse energy.
Sultra, a gentle 1570 nm non-ablative thermal mode to stimulate collagen without ablating tissue.
Fusion, which mixes both ablative and non-ablative energies in a single pass for optimized results and faster healing.
Energy Output and Power Settings
The system output is specified at 70 watts, supporting deeper dermal penetration for rejuvenation, scar revision, wrinkle reduction, and texture improvement. Clinicians can adjust the energy level and pulse duration to match treatment objectives.
Clinical Indications
Cartessa Helix CO2 is designed to treat: wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, photodamage, pigmentation irregularities, skin laxity, texture issues, and uneven tone by stimulating collagen remodeling and controlled ablation where needed.
Safety and Customization Features
Helix delivers controlled ablation with reduced collateral thermal damage by preserving untreated tissue between fractional columns. This assists in faster healing and greater safety across a wider range of skin types compared to full ablative CO₂ lasers.
Handpiece and User Interface
The laser handpiece is ergonomically designed for precise control, and the system uses an intuitive graphical interface that allows rapid parameter adjustments during treatment sessions.
Consumables and Maintenance
Helix operates without disposable consumables, reducing per-treatment cost and simplifying clinical logistics.
