HELIX Laser Skin Resurfacing
Advanced Skin Rejuvenation With Customized CO2 & Fractional Laser Technology

Restore smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin with HELIX laser resurfacing at Jacobson Plastic Surgery.
HELIX represents the next generation of skin rejuvenation by combining powerful CO2 laser resurfacing with advanced non-ablative collagen stimulation in a single customizable platform. This innovative technology allows us to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and skin laxity while tailoring treatment intensity and downtime to your goals.
What Is HELIX?
HELIX is an advanced laser resurfacing platform that combines two powerful technologies:
- Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing

Unlike traditional laser systems that rely on only one technology, HELIX allows providers to use either treatment independently or combine them for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. This creates highly customizable treatments capable of addressing both superficial skin concerns and deeper collagen remodeling.
