What Is DEKA Fusion?

DEKA Fusion is a next-generation laser treatment by Cartessa designed to improve skin tone, texture, and firmness. It combines fractional CO₂ laser energy with non-ablative 1570nm laser energy, giving your provider the ability to customize treatments to your unique skin concerns.

This dual-action “fusion” approach:

  • Smooths fine lines and wrinkles

  • Reduces sun damage and pigmentation

  • Improves skin texture and tightness

  • Minimizes scarring from acne or other skin injuries

Unlike traditional lasers, DEKA Fusion allows for precise targeting of the skin while minimizing downtime and discomfort. Each session is tailored to your needs, making it safe for a variety of skin types and goals.

How DEKA Fusion Works

The DEKA Fusion laser works through a combination of controlled tissue resurfacing and deep skin remodeling:

  1. Fractional Ablative CO₂ Laser

    • The laser delivers precise, microscopic beams of energy that remove damaged outer layers of skin.

    • This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging new, healthy skin cells to replace the old, damaged ones.

  2. Non-Ablative 1570nm Laser

    • Penetrates deeper into the dermis without removing the surface layer.

    • Stimulates collagen and elastin production, which firms the skin, reduces fine lines, and improves elasticity.

  3. Combination Effect (Fusion)

    • By combining ablative and non-ablative energies in a single session, DEKA Fusion targets both surface imperfections (like pigmentation, texture, and scars) and deeper structural issues (like laxity and deep wrinkles).

    • This dual action maximizes results in just 1–2 sessions, while the body continues to remodel the treated tissue over the following weeks.

  4. Healing & Renewal

    • As the skin heals, old damaged tissue is replaced with new, smoother, firmer skin.

    • Redness and swelling gradually subside, and you see improved tone, texture, and elasticity.

who’s the ideal candidate?

DEKA Fusion is suitable for individuals seeking to improve:

  • Skin texture and tone

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Sun damage and pigmentation

  • Acne scars and other skin imperfections

    • Consultation: Your skincare professional will assess your skin type and concerns to tailor a personalized treatment plan.

    • Cleansing & Optional Numbing: Skin prepped and numbed if needed.

    • Treatment: During the session, the DEKA Fusion laser delivers controlled energy to the skin, addressing both superficial and deeper skin layers.

    • Recovery: Post-treatment, you may experience redness and swelling, which typically subsides within 5 to 10 days, depending on the treatment intensity.

    • Results: Improvements in skin tone, texture, and elasticity will become more apparent over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

frequently asked questions

  • Helix Deka Fusion is an advanced CO₂ laser technology that combines resurfacing and deep dermal stimulation in one treatment. It helps improve fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and overall tone with powerful results in fewer sessions than traditional lasers.

  • Most clients choose full-face treatments, but the Helix Deka Fusion can also target the eyes, neck, chest, or other focused areas of concern.

  • Most patients see significant results after just 1–2 sessions. Depending on your skin goals and level of correction needed, your provider may recommend additional treatments for optimal results.

  • You’ll feel heat and a prickling sensation as the laser works on the skin. We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to keep you comfortable.

  • Expect redness, swelling, and a “sunburned” sensation for several days. Most clients notice peeling and flaking for up to 7–10 days as the skin renews itself. Social downtime varies, but typically you’ll want 5–7 days of recovery before a big event.

  • Improvements can often be seen once the skin has healed within 1–2 weeks, with continued collagen remodeling and tightening over the following 3–6 months.

  • Results are long-lasting, especially with good skincare and sun protection. Many clients enjoy results for years and may choose maintenance treatments every 1–2 years.

  • Yes—when performed by a trained provider. The Helix Deka Fusion is designed to maximize results while minimizing risks compared to older CO₂ lasers.

  • The full-face Helix Deka Fusion includes the eye area as part of the treatment. The Mini Eye Rejuvenation option is ideal for those who only want to focus on the delicate eye area without treating the rest of the face.

  • Both treatments use advanced CO₂ laser technology, but they work at different intensities:

    • CoolPeel is a lighter, more superficial CO₂ treatment. It focuses on improving texture, fine lines, and brightness with minimal downtime. Because it’s gentler, it typically takes a series of 3 treatments to achieve results comparable to 1 Deka Fusion session.

    • Deka Fusion is more aggressive and comprehensive. It resurfaces the skin while also stimulating deeper collagen remodeling in a single session. This means fewer treatments are needed for dramatic results, though downtime is longer compared to CoolPeel.

    In short:

    • Choose CoolPeel if you prefer a gradual, no-downtime approach.

    • Choose Deka Fusion if you want faster, more dramatic results in fewer treatments and don’t mind a longer recovery.
