How Does TotalFX Laser Resurfacing Work?

Your skin has multiple layers, starting with the epidermis and working down. While it’s easy to see the effects of complexion concerns such as skin hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, stretch marks, scars, and more on the surface, these imperfections run deeper. That means your treatment must penetrate farther than the surface alone.

TotalFX utilizes a fractional carbon dioxide laser to work not just on the surface, but in the deeper skin layers. This laser treatment takes advantage of two separate modalities:

  • ActiveFX: This works on the upper layers of skin to mitigate issues such as hyperpigmentation, textural imperfections, and sun damage.
  • DeepFX: This penetrates deeper into the layers of skin to help correct acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. As it does, it stimulates collagen, and works to further assist with pigmentation concerns.

These combined modes work together to treat both the surface skin as well as the unseen skin beneath it. As a fractional laser, it treats a “fraction” of the skin. This leaves healthy skin to assist with healing the treated portion, which speeds recovery.

What Concerns Can TotalFX Address?

This high-tech treatment can help mitigate many stubborn skin concerns. These include:

  • Repairing sun-damaged skin
  • Tightening skin laxity
  • Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
  • Minimizing the appearance of stretch marks, scars, and pigment issues
  • Improving skin texture and tone in treated areas
