Active FX significantly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage while stimulating collagen growth which promotes immediate and progressive tightening of sagging skin.
This laser outperforms the Fraxel laser getting even better results with less downtime in just a single treatment. Using the UltraPulse Encore Laser which is a CO2 Aesthetic Laser system, superficial facial lines, scars and wrinkles can be reversed to reveal new and vibrant skin. Laser resurfacing provides significant advantages over conventional techniques in that patients see immediate visible results. It is a bloodless procedure so there is less chance of scarring or textural change and recovery is less painful. The results of skin resurfacing are usually very long lasting with proper skincare.

The treatment is highly targeted form of
laser skin resurfacing recommended for
patients under the age of 40 with slight to moderate sun damage and signs of aging.
This laser treats the face, upper eye lids,
arms, neck and chest. This procedure produces the greatest results at the best price since only
a single treatment is required. Laser resurfacing has two impacts. It provides for the precise removal of the top layer of skin, removing the extra fold causing the wrinkle or line, and
leaving behind a normal skin surface. It also promotes collagen formation resulting in immediate and progressive "tightening" of the skin to provide a smooth, uniform appearance. The collagen stimulation continues to deliver results for four to six months after the
treatment.
Each pulse of laser energy feels like the quick snap of a rubber band or burst from a fine
pointed air gun against your skin. The area around the forehead and upper lip are
sometimes extra sensitive. The laser, which is also used for hair removal, will sometimes
singe and remove facial hair during the treatment. A chiller device is used to simultaneously cool the skin as the laser is applied.
The treatment area is fractionalized to target portions of the skin while leaving some areas untouched. This technique promotes faster healing and enables deep penetration of the
skin and maximum heating which delivers the desired results. After the treatment there is redness which lasts for several days, followed
by some flaking as the skin heals. Patients
must avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
Most patients want to stay at home for three
to five days.
There is some redness and discomfort after
the procedure that can be relieved by a mild analgesic. Patients are also required to apply
ice packs to the affected areas and apply prescribed ointments until healing is complete. Healing usually occurs within five days.
