 The latest advancement
in minimal downtime,
fractional CO2 laser
resurfacing for aging skin.
Our skin changes over time, losing its youthful
look and giving way to brown spots, wrinkles and
laxity. In recent years there has been a growing
number of aesthetic procedures available to
treat the skin. ActiveFX - the result of the latest
advances in laser technology - is a new procedure
that yields remarkable, long lasting results with just
one treatment. A fast, office-based procedure
with minimal patient downtime, ActiveFX is your
single-treatment solution for beautiful
younger-looking skin.
What is ActiveFX?
During an ActiveFX fractional resurfacing
procedure, a high-energy beam of laser light
interacts with the skin’s surface, causing the upper
layer to peel off and regenerate a layer of new,
healthy skin.
With ActiveFX, only a fraction of the skin’s surface
is treated. The laser beam is applied in a fractional
pattern, leaving small “bridges” of untouched skin.
This technique makes the healing process much
faster and enables you to get back to
normal activities sooner.
ActiveFX Benefits
ActiveFX produces a dramatic effect on the skin:
- Causes immediate skin tightening
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and softens deeper frown lines
- Noticeably improves skin tone and texture
- Stimulates new collagen formation and plumps the skin
ActiveFX results are long-term and, with proper sun
protection, can last for many years. Most effects
of treatment become visible right away, whereas
others - such as new collagen formation - build up
gradually and results in continued smoothing over
time. Therefore, most people continue to show
improvement up to 6 months after the procedure.
Is ActiveFX right for you?
ActiveFX is an ideal treatment option if you:
- have a busy lifestyle or cannot be away from
work for a long time
- want noticeable results with minimal downtime
- want to treat dyschromia, fine lines, wrinkles and skin laxity
What can you expect
from ActiveFX?
Most physicians perform the procedure in the
office with a topical anesthetic cream that is
applied 30-40 minutes before the ActiveFX
procedure begins. There is little to no pain
associated with the procedure - most patients
say they feel warmth similar to sunburn. You can
drive yourself home after the procedure. With a
gentle washing and moisturizing regimen, your
photodamaged skin will begin to flake off within
2 days. After about 4-7 days, your doctor will
probably let you wear make-up. Pinkness
should be gone in about a week.
