At Icala Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Lilliam Díaz-Vélez and our talented aesthetics team offer Puerto Rico’s most advanced laser resurfacing technology—the HEMERA™ by DEKA CO₂ laser. This state-of-the-art system delivers powerful skin rejuvenation with precision, safety, and decreased downtime. Ideal for treating fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and scars, HEMERA uses fractional CO₂ energy to resurface the skin at a cellular level, encouraging natural collagen renewal and restoring a healthy, youthful glow.
How the HEMERA CO₂ Laser Works
The HEMERA system delivers controlled pulses of CO₂ energy into the skin, creating microscopic treatment zones that remove damaged cells and trigger natural healing. Unlike older laser technologies, HEMERA targets only a fraction of the skin’s surface at a time, creating a series of tiny microchannels into the deeper skin layers. This allowing surrounding tissue to accelerate recovery while still producing dramatic improvement in tone and texture.
This fractional method rejuvenates skin safely and effectively, tightening collagen fibers and stimulating new collagen growth for continued improvement over time. Patients see smoother, more refined skin that looks refreshed and revitalized without the extensive downtime associated with traditional resurfacing.
Conditions Treated With the HEMERA CO₂ Laser
The HEMERA CO₂ laser can address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Acne scars and uneven texture
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Skin laxity around the eyes and mouth
- Rough, dull, or aged skin
Because the CO₂ laser can be precisely adjusted, it’s suitable for both full-face treatments and delicate areas around the eyes—an area where Dr. Díaz-Vélez’s oculoplastic expertise ensures superior safety and results.
HEMERA CO₂ Laser Treatment and Recovery Process
Each session begins with a thorough consultation to determine the ideal laser settings for your skin type and goals. A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. The treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
After the procedure, mild redness and swelling may occur, similar to a sunburn. Most patients notice initial improvement within a week, with results continuing to develop as collagen rebuilds naturally. Recovery time varies by treatment intensity, but the peeling process generally lasts between 5 and 10 days.
Dr. Díaz-Vélez and our team provide personalized aftercare instructions and recommend medical-grade skincare to support healing and protect your results.
