Most laser resurfacing forces a choice. Ablative lasers remove microscopic columns of skin for dramatic change and real downtime, while non-ablative lasers heat deeper layers gently with faster recovery and subtler results. Fusion, also known as CoolPeel Fusion, is a resurfacing protocol on the Helix laser platform by Cartessa, was built to blur that line…. Read More »
