Sharing this post wasn’t easy, but it’s a big milestone for me. I’ve struggled with acne and acne scars since grade school and tried numerous lasers and treatments, but nothing has worked as well as the CO2 Helix by
#Cartessa. This treatment truly is the gold standard in skin resurfacing — and in my opinion, the ultimate laser! I finally took the plunge with the Helix, which combines a CO2 laser and Sultra laser to resurface, refine, and restore my skin. Unlike traditional CO2 treatments, the Helix reduces recovery time and is safe for a broader range of skin types, which was a major concern for me based on my ethnicity and skin tone. After just 5 days, I was back to work! One of the best parts? The Helix allows us to customize the treatment for faster healing with less downtime (just 2-3 days with multiple sessions) or more intensive results with slightly longer downtime (7-10 days with a single treatment). To prep my skin, I did 3 Rejuran facials (aka DNA from salmon sperm) to address pigmentation and skin laxity, followed by a Rejuran skin booster post-laser to speed up healing and minimize downtime. I also had Radiofrequency Microneedling before the CO2 treatment. The difference is clear — the before photo is from about a year ago, and the after was taken just 12 days after my CO2 Helix treatment. My skin will continue to improve over the next few months! If you’ve been thinking about resurfacing your skin or tackling acne scars, I highly recommend giving the Helix a try! Swipe to see my daily progress.
