Erase the Impact of Skin Damage with Active FX Laser Resurfacing

Jan 5, 2015

As we age, our skin begins to show the damage we have accumulated over time caused by the sun, the environment and other elements. Active FX Laser skin resurfacing can help smooth out the lines and uneven pigmentation that begin to show on our face, neck and décolleté.
This laser treatment utilizes powerful ablation techniques to replace dead, damaged skin cells and limits the amount of heat absorbed by the skin to provide you with new, fresh skin and stimulate new collagen growth slowed by aging.

What can you expect following your Active FX treatment?
The Active FX laser treatment is performed in our office with a topical anesthetic cream that is applied 1-2 hours before the laser procedure begins. Most patients experience a warm feeling similar to sunburn. With our gentle post-laser skincare regimen, the photo-damaged skin begins to flake off within 2 days. Pinkness should be gone in about a week. With a limited down time of 4-7 days, patients begin to see immediate skin tightening and significant improvements in skin tone and texture.  Results from the Active FX treatments, such as collagen formation, build gradually and continue over a 6-month period. Most patients see the full impact of the Active FX laser resurfacing treatment after the first 6-months with just one treatment. With proper protection from the sun, Active FX results can last for many years.
