Brighter, smoother, more youthful eyes.
The eyes are often the first place to show age. Our Helix laser tightens and smooths the delicate skin of the eyelids and under-eye area, without surgery, injections, or extended recovery.
Non-surgical eye rejuvenation with minimal downtime, in Eagan, MN.
Next-generation eye rejuvenation
Fine lines, crow’s feet, puffiness, sagging eyelids, and crepey under-eye skin can make you look tired or older than you feel. Our Helix laser is designed specifically for the delicate skin around the eyes.
This treatment tightens and smooths fragile eyelid and under-eye skin, stimulating your own collagen for natural, lasting results, all without surgery or extended recovery time.
Two wavelengths, gentler on delicate skin
Unlike traditional CO2 lasers, the Helix combines two precise wavelengths to safely rejuvenate the thin skin around the eyes. The pairing delivers enhanced skin tightening and deeper collagen remodeling compared to CO2 alone, while helping minimize redness, swelling, and recovery time.
CO2, ablative
Resurfaces the skin’s surface and triggers the body’s natural renewal response, smoothing texture and fine lines.
Fractional, non-ablative
Reaches deeper into the dermis to broaden the treatment’s thermal effect, enhancing tightening and collagen remodeling where laxity begins.
What it can do for your eyes
Tightens crepey skin
Firms and lifts crepey upper and lower eyelid skin for a more refreshed, awake appearance.
Smooths lines
Softens fine lines and crow’s feet around the delicate eye area.
Brightens under eyes
Helps brighten dark, tired-looking under eyes for a more rested look.
Reduces bag appearance
Firms the surrounding skin to reduce the look of under-eye bags.
Improves tone and texture
Refines overall skin tone, texture, and elasticity around the eyes.
Builds lasting collagen
Stimulates long-term collagen renewal for natural results that continue to improve.
Why it works better than Moxi, Halo, or microneedling
Traditional CO2 lasers can be too harsh for the eye area, often requiring more downtime and carrying a higher risk of pigment changes. The Helix lets our providers tailor depth and energy to each patient, reaching deeper into the dermis to rebuild collagen where laxity and wrinkles begin.
