ResurFX Laser

How Does ResurFX Work?

• Fractional Technology: The laser creates microscopic columns of heat that penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, promoting smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
• Non-Ablative: Unlike ablative lasers that remove the outer layers of skin, ResurFX works below the surface to stimulate the skin’s regeneration without harming the epidermis. This makes it a gentler, more comfortable option for patients who want minimal downtime.

Benefits of ResurFX Laser Treatment

1. Improves Skin Texture:
   • ResurFX is effective for treating rough or uneven skin texture, smoothing out bumps and imperfections. It’s particularly useful for post-acne scars, enlarged pores, and general skin surface irregularities.
2. Treats Wrinkles and Fine Lines:
   • By stimulating collagen production, ResurFX helps to tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
3. Reduces Sun Damage:
   • Sun exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sunspots. ResurFX can effectively treat these pigmentation issues by targeting the deeper layers of the skin and promoting the turnover of new skin cells, helping to fade spots and even out skin tone.
4. Helps with Acne Scarring:
   • ResurFX is often used to treat acne scars, particularly those that are depressed or indented. By promoting collagen production, it helps to fill in and smooth out pitted scars, giving the skin a more even appearance.
5. Improves Skin Tightening:
   • ResurFX helps to firm and tighten skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This makes it a great option for addressing mild to moderate skin laxity, particularly around the face, neck, and décolletage.
6. Minimal Downtime:
   • One of the most significant advantages of ResurFX over traditional ablative lasers is its minimal downtime. While some redness, mild swelling, or a sensation of warmth may occur immediately after treatment, most people can resume their daily activities within a day or two. There’s no need for extended recovery time like with more invasive procedures.
7. Suitable for Most Skin Types:
   • ResurFX is safe for a variety of skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for many patients. It can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and other areas that are prone to aging, sun damage, and scarring.
8. Long-Term Results:
   • The collagen-building effects of ResurFX continue to improve the skin for several months after treatment. While the results are gradual, they are long-lasting, and many patients see sustained improvement in skin quality for 6-12 months.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

• During Treatment: The procedure is relatively quick, typically taking around 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Patients may experience mild discomfort or a warming sensation during the treatment, but most find it tolerable. A topical numbing cream is often applied to minimize any pain.
• After Treatment: The treated area may appear slightly red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn, for a few hours. Some patients experience mild swelling or dryness, but these side effects typically resolve within a day or two. It’s important to keep the skin moisturized and use sunscreen daily to protect the newly treated skin.
• Results Timeline: You may start to notice improvements in skin texture and tone within a few weeks, with optimal results appearing after 2-3 months, as collagen production continues. Multiple sessions (usually 3-5) may be recommended to achieve the best results, depending on the condition being treated.
