ResurFX
Non-Ablative Fractional Laser
Resurface Skin, Stimulate Collagen
ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional laser that is used to resurface the skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall texture. Unlike CO2 fractional laser, ResurFX does not destroy the top layer of skin. Instead, it delivers pinpoint columns of heat into the tissue to induce soft tissue coagulation. By heating the underlying tissue, the laser triggers the body’s natural healing response that stimulates collagen and cell renewal. Leaving the epidermis enact shortens the healing time and allows the patient to return to their daily life much sooner than an ablative laser treatment.
Improve Skin Texture, Hyperpigmentation, and More
ResurFX has been shown to improve skin texture, hyperpigmentation, mild sun damage, early signs such as fine lines, and scars. The treatment can be done on all skin types, Fitzpatrick I - VI.
Note: With darker, more melanated skin it is recommended to pre-treat with a tyrosinase inhibitor, like hydroquinone, for 4 to 6 weeks prior to the treatment to reduce the chance of post inflammatory pigmentation.
Post treatment, the skin will be red, swollen and have a “sun burn” sensation. Depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment, these side effects typically last 1 to 3 days. As the skin heals it may develop a “bronzed” appearance. It will often feel rough or sandpapery to the touch. This occurs because the skin is naturally expelling the microscopic channels of old debris and pigment.
For optimal results, three to five treatment sessions are recommended spaced four to six weeks apart.
“ResurFX™ is a state-of-the-art, non-ablative fractional laser technology designed to address early signs of aging, uneven skin texture, and imperfections. It delivers precise laser microbeams to stimulate deep collagen regeneration in the deeper layers of the skin without breaking the skin’s surface. It effectively improves fine lines, skin texture, and overall skin appearance with minimal downtime. Often referred to as a “lunchtime” treatment, it is ideal for busy individuals looking for noticeable skin rejuvenation, as well as those seeking to treat specific concerns like scars or rough texture, allowing patients to quickly return to their daily routines. Best results are after a series of three treatments.”
