Let’s be honest—there are a lot of skin treatments out there. SkinPen, microneedling, chemical peels, Moxi, Halo, Morpheus8, BBL, IPL, and more. While they all promise smoother, brighter, younger-looking skin, most fall into one of two categories: they either deliver subtle, temporary improvements, or they require ongoing treatments just to maintain results.
If you’re tired of doing treatment after treatment without getting the results you want, it may be time to stop wasting your time and money.
Helix is different—and here’s why.
Helix represents a newer generation of resurfacing technology designed to deliver results that older treatments simply weren’t built to achieve.
What Makes Helix Different?
Helix is a next-generation fractional CO₂ laser designed to work on multiple levels of the skin simultaneously. It resurfaces the top layer to improve texture and dullness, stimulates deep collagen production for firmness and glow, and improves tone, pigmentation, pores, and fine lines—all in a single treatment.
Unlike older or single-focus treatments, Helix combines surface correction with deep regeneration in one session. The result is a more comprehensive approach, meaning you don’t need multiple different treatments to achieve visible change.
This matters because most people aren’t looking for another treatment—they’re looking for a result. And that’s where most options fall short.
The Cost Conversation No One Talks About
Most people don’t realize they’re not comparing treatments—they’re comparing treatment cycles.
Many treatments appear more affordable at first, but the total investment adds up quickly.
| Treatment | Cost Per Session | Typical # of Sessions | Total Investment | What You’re Really Getting |
| Microneedling / SkinPen | $300–$500 | 4–6+ | $1,200–$3,000+ | Mild, maintenance-level results |
| Chemical Peels | $300–$400 | Ongoing | Ongoing / adds up | Temporary, surface-level improvement |
| Moxi / BBL / IPL | $400–$800 | 3–6 + maintenance | $2,000–$4,000+ | Tone + color correction, not texture or tightening |
| Morpheus8 | $800–$1,200 | 3+ | $2,400–$4,000+ | Some tightening, limited resurfacing |
| Halo | $1,500–$2,500 | 2+ | $3,000–$5,000+ | Moderate improvement over multiple sessions |
Now compare this to Helix.
| Treatment | Cost Per Treatment | # of Treatments | Total Investment | What You’re Really Getting |
| Helix | Higher upfront | 1–2 | Comparable or less overall | Significant correction + long-term improvement |
Helix typically requires just one to two treatments for significant correction. This means you’re not stuck in an ongoing cycle of maintenance just to see results—you’re investing in a treatment that delivers meaningful change.
It’s not just about money—it’s also about time. Multiple treatments mean more appointments, more downtime cycles, and more disruption to your routine.
The real cost of skin treatments isn’t the price per session. It’s how many times you have to keep doing them to get and maintain results.
The Areas Most Treatments Can’t Truly Fix —Eyelids and Undereyes
For many patients, the eye area is the first place they notice aging and the one area most treatments struggle to treat effectively.
Crepey eyelids, under-eye wrinkles, and loose, sagging skin are some of the most difficult concerns to improve. Most treatments either avoid the eyelids entirely for safety reasons or fail to deliver meaningful results in such a delicate area.
Helix stands apart because its CO₂ technology allows for precise, controlled, and safe treatment of the eyelids and under-eyes when performed by trained providers. This makes it a powerful non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures like blepharoplasty, offering visible improvement in one of the most high-impact areas of the face with less risk and less downtime.
And when this area improves, the entire face looks more rested, refreshed, and youthful.
This is one of the key reasons patients choose Helix—because it can treat what most other treatments cannot.
Let’s Compare Helix Results vs Everything Else
| Treatment Category | What You Get | What You Don’t Get |
| Microneedling | Collagen stimulation | Real resurfacing or transformation |
| Chemical Peels | Surface glow | Long-term correction |
| Moxi / BBL / IPL | Maintenance + color correction | Texture, tightening, deep change |
| Morpheus8 | Tightening | Surface + pigment correction |
| Halo | Moderate improvement over multiple sessions | Maximum correction in fewer sessions |
| Helix | Surface + depth + tightening + tone | Nothing missing |
Why Patients Are Switching to Helix
Patients are switching to Helix for one simple reason: they want real results without the endless cycle of treatments. Many are frustrated with investing in multiple sessions that deliver minimal visible change, or treatments that only address one concern at a time. Instead of continuing to spend time and money on maintenance-based treatments, they are choosing a solution that delivers more noticeable, lasting results.
What Helix Actually Delivers
Most patients notice:
- Smoother, more refined skin texture
- Brighter, more even tone
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Tighter, firmer-looking skin
- Improvement in delicate areas like the eyes
- Results continue to improve over time as collagen rebuilds beneath the surface.
Why Your Provider Matters Just as Much as the Technology
Not all laser treatments—and not all results—are the same. The technology matters, but the experience and precision of the provider play an equally important role in the outcome.
At Renew MedSpa, Helix treatments are performed by advanced laser technicians who are highly trained in both the science and artistry of laser resurfacing. This level of expertise is what separates a good result from a truly exceptional one.
Julie is an advanced laser technician known for her meticulous approach, advanced technique, and highly customized treatment strategy for every patient. She carefully tailors each treatment based on skin type, concerns, and goals, ensuring the right depth, settings, and techniques are used. This level of precision is what allows for more consistent, natural-looking, and higher-quality results—especially when treating delicate areas like the eyelids and under-eyes, where both safety and skill are essential.
Laser resurfacing is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. The difference between average results and transformative results often comes down to who is performing the procedure. At Renew MedSpa, the focus isn’t just on performing treatments, it’s on delivering outcomes.
The Bottom Line
At some point, it stops being about trying more treatments and starts being about choosing the one that actually works. Helix is one of the most advanced and sophisticated resurfacing technologies available today, designed to deliver results that traditionally required multiple different treatments.
You can continue with monthly microneedling, seasonal peels or IPL, and ongoing maintenance treatments like Moxi or Halo—or you can choose a treatment that actually changes your skin. Helix isn’t just another option. It’s the shift from maintaining your skin to transforming it.
