This advanced, non-surgical treatment is designed to tackle fine lines, uneven texture, and other skin concerns with a unique blend of cutting-edge technologies.

Let’s take a closer look at how Helix Skin Resurfacing compares to traditional laser treatments and why it might be the right choice for you!

Cool Technology, Hot Results: Why Helix CO2 Leaves Traditional Lasers Behind

The HELIX CO2 laser is designed to minimize thermal damage compared to traditional ablative CO2 lasers due to several key features:
• Fractional Technology: Unlike older CO2 lasers that treated the entire skin surface, the HELIX CO2 laser utilizes fractional technology. This means it creates microscopic treatment zones (MTZs) while leaving surrounding skin untouched. This approach reduces the overall heat delivered to the skin and allows for faster healing, as the healthy skin in between the treated zones aids in the recovery process.
• High Peak Power, Short Pulses: The HELIX can deliver high energy in extremely short pulses. This minimizes the lingering heat that could traditionally damage the surrounding tissue.
• CoolPeel Technology: The CoolPeel treatment, utilizing the H-Pulse setting on the HELIX device, focuses on the superficial layers of the skin, removing damaged tissue without causing significant thermal damage to the surrounding skin. This technology allows for effective skin resurfacing with minimal redness and reduced downtime, says Cartessa Aesthetics.

In essence, the combination of fractional delivery, short pulse durations, and precise control over the laser energy allows the HELIX CO2 laser to achieve effective skin resurfacing with significantly less thermal damage and downtime compared to traditional ablative CO2 lasers.

HELIX treatments can help improve the following:

Skin Tone and Texture: Revitalize dull skin, smooth out rough patches, and refine pores.
Skin Laxity and Firmness: Non-ablative thermal stimulation promotes collagen production, tightening and firming the skin.
Scars and Imperfections: Minimize the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and trauma-related marks.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Address signs of aging by smoothing wrinkles and reducing fine lines.
Sun Damage and Pigmentation: Even out pigmentation issues and reverse sun damage for a radiant complexion.

Why Choose the HELIX CO2 Laser at Viva Med Aesthetics & Wellness:

Thank you for the kind words.

I've had 3 IPL treatments with Elizabeth Cox and I would recommend her to anyone. The treatments were very effective and she made me feel very comfortable.

The signature facial by Maria was amazing! I left with my skin feeling rejuvenated. Maria was very personable and informative of the process and the products she used. Viva Med is the place to go for medical grade skincare!

— M.M.

I am absolutely blown away by the results of my Radiesse treatment at Viva Med Aesthetics & Wellness! After a significant amount of weight loss, I struggled with feeling self-conscious about the volume loss in my face. But the moment I saw the results, I felt my confidence come rushing back. The difference is truly incredible.

— M.F.

I had the best experience at VivaMed! Marianna helped me pick the perfect service, and scheduling was a breeze! I had the most wonderful facial and dermaplaning by Maria! Just a great experience and I will be returning again for more services!

— C.C.

FANTASTIC facial!! Relaxing but also VERY effective- truly a medical aesthetic experience which is exactly what I was looking for. The facilities are clean and welcoming but I also had complete confidence that all aspects were medically sanitary.which was very important to me. I can’t wait to go back for my next appointment!

— J.A.

I have had the absolute best experience at Viva Med. I contacted them about doing laser hair removal but was very concerned due to the sensitivity of my skin. Cindy set me up to do a test to be sure there wasn’t any negative reaction and I was so excited to continue with the treatments once I realized I didn’t have a reaction. Maria is wonderful. She makes sure you’re doing ok throughout the process and the appointments feel like they fly by. There is minimal discomfort and I’m so pleased with the results even after 2 sessions. If you’ve ever considered getting laser hair removal, contact Cindy and Maria today!

— S.C.

I highly recommend Viva Med Aesthetics for the services they offer. Their consultation was free and Cindy listened to my skin concerns and developed a plan to address them. Bambi is patient, gentle and skilled with injections & I was very pleased with my results.

— K.H.

I just got Xeomin from Bambi...and let me tell you, I think I will need to book a flight here every three months (I live in Los Angeles), because I don't want anyone else touching my face from now on.

— Sonya P.

I love Viva Med Aesthetics and Wellness. The ladies are very knowledgeable and friendly. I was nervous my first visit, but Bambi’s knowledge and expertise was immediately noticed, and I trusted her to help me and she did fantastic. I’m now hooked and always look forward to my appointments.

— S.P.

Today was my first experience with Viva Med and from the moment I walked in it was an incredibly welcoming experience. The entire staff is professional and warm.

Bambi was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. She explained everything in detail and made sure I knew what to expect.

I'm looking forward to going back in 2 weeks for my follow-up!

— R.G.

I accompanied a friend today for a consultation. She discussed in depth her concerns to Bambi and Cindy. They are both so knowledgeable about fillers and Botox. All of our questions were answered. My friend decided to go forward with the plan, and I was amazed at how much time Bambi took with her. Her results were absolutely amazing. I plan to go myself next week and I’m very excited about my appointment. The staff are very professional and very friendly. This is a much needed aesthetic team for our community.

— A. G.

I first saw Viva Med on Social Media of a post shared from a friend. I was interested in their services and saw they were offering Free Consultations. I was expecting a 30 min max consultation, but I was mistaken, I was there for over an hour speaking with Cindy and learned so much from her on the options that would benefit me in what i was looking for.

— D. L.

Dr. La Croix is wonderful. He is very caring and conscientious with a comforting relaxed manner. All bases were covered and I felt well taken care of. The staff is great too, friendly and efficient. Thanks Viva!

— B.P.

I have had two treatments and I am ecstatic over my results. My results have been almost immediate. I bruise very easy but Bambi has such great techniques that my bruising is non existent. She took her time and was continually asking was I ok. I never felt as though my treatment was being rushed so another patient could be seen.
I truly felt like I was being given the VIP treatment.

— D. L.

Everyone I have met there from the front office, to each person involved with Aesthetics are like friends at this point.
If you are looking great skincare or any form of Aesthetics or Wellness I would recommend Viva Med 1000 times over.
You will NOT be disappointed in the positive vibes, warm feeling and the top notch services provided from beginning to end!
Thank you Bambi, Cindy, Marianna, Maria, Stacey, and Dr Lacroix! (wanted to call out the names of those I have had the pleasure of meeting!)

You all are WONDERFUL!!

— D. L.

Update: Let me begin by telling you that my experience started with a very informative consultation with Cindy that provided me a detailed education on my choices in injectables. I chose to go with a filler that also stimulates collagen and elastin. I was so thrilled to know that I had this option!
My RN Injectionist Bambi took her time with me, and also discussed my goals. Her years as an experienced injector showed in the manner in which she treated me, the different techniques that she used to inject, and of course the refreshed, and natural look that she achieved!

— A. G.

I have had been to a few injectors in the past but my experience and results at Viva Med Aesthetics & Wellness has been the best by far! It took years off my appearance and yet, I look so natural!
I can’t say enough good things about Viva Med – I highly recommend them and guarantee you won’t be disappointed! The one word that keeps coming to mind is … STELLAR!!!! Thank you Viva Med Aesthetics & Wellness – you all are a blessing to our community!
