Laser beams are much more than cool special effects in the movies! In the past decade or so, the cosmetic enhancement industry has gained some remarkable skin treatments from them, benefiting those who are prone to suffer from sun damaged skin and similar signs of aging, like Arizona residents.

What is the difference between Active FX and Total FX?
Active FX is a laser resurfacing treatment with a high-energy beam administered in a fractional pattern, similar to pixels in a photograph. It leaves “connections” of skin untouched. Total FX is the combination of Active FX and Deep FX, contributing a thorough range of fractional resurfacing. Deep FX provides a treatment for deeper scarring and wrinkles, while Active FX spot treats sun damaged skin, as well as texture and tone. When used together, maximum results are achieved in the production of collagen and resurfaced skin all in one single treatment. Total FX is the ultimate treatment in skin rejuvenation without undergoing surgery.
