Looking for dramatic skin renewal without surgery? The DEKA Helix laser offers a cutting-edge solution for smoother, firmer, more youthful skin—with minimal downtime. At Youthful Obsession, we’re proud to bring this advanced CO₂ laser technology to our clients in Edgewater, MD.
If you're dealing with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or sun damage, the DEKA Helix might just be your new skincare secret weapon. And yes—you can schedule treatments during the summer with the right precautions.
What is the DEKA Helix Laser?
The DEKA Helix is an advanced CO₂ fractional resurfacing laser that combines ablative power with Tetra Pulse technology for safe, targeted skin renewal. It treats the skin in micro-columns, stimulating new collagen and elastin production while preserving surrounding tissue for quicker healing.
This next-generation laser allows for customized treatment intensity, from light to deep resurfacing, making it suitable for both early signs of aging and more advanced texture concerns.
Conditions Treated by the DEKA Helix Laser
Whether you want subtle rejuvenation or significant correction, the DEKA Helix effectively treats:
- Fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Uneven skin texture and large pores
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Stretch marks
- Skin laxity
- Dull, aging skin tone
It’s particularly effective for areas like the face, neck, décolletage, and even hands.
Is It Safe to Do DEKA Helix Treatments in the Summer?
Yes—with the right care.
While traditional resurfacing lasers are often discouraged in summer due to sun sensitivity, the DEKA Helix can still be performed with proper planning:
Summer Treatment Guidelines:
- Pre-treatment sunscreen use is essential (we recommend a broad-spectrum mineral SPF like Alastin HydraTint or Skinbetter Sheer).
- Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks before and after treatment.
- Schedule your laser during a period where you'll have downtime—such as vacation or lighter workweeks.
- Use medical-grade skin recovery products post-treatment to support healing.
At Youthful Obsession, we tailor your treatment depth and timing to fit the season and your lifestyle. You don’t need to wait until winter to start your skin transformation.
