What is Active FX™?

Active FX™ is a fractional laser procedure performed in a single treatment with minimal patient downtime. During the procedure, a high-energy beam of laser light is used to smooth out lines, wrinkles and scars, remove brown spots and other irregularities, and tighten the skin. It also stimulates formation of new underlying collagen to continue improvement over time. With fractional laser treatment, only a fraction of the skin’s surface is treated by the laser, leaving small “bridges” of untouched skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster and enables you to get back to normal activities sooner.

What are the benefits of Active FX™?

Active FX™ produces a dramatic effect on the skin:

• Causes some 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

Results of treatment 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.

What can you expect from Active FX™?

The procedure is performed in office with a topical anesthetic cream that is applied before the Active FX™ procedure begins. There is little to no pain associated with the procedure-most patients say they feel warmth similar to sunburn. 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.

The newest addition to Active FX™?

We recently became the first medical office in the southwest to received the Deep FX™ treatment head. This new treatment head allows us to achieve total facial rejuvenation. Doing a treatment with the Deep FX™ followed by the tried and trusted Active FX™ results in significant wrinkle reduction, decreased pore size, reduced superficial and deep pigment and gives the face total rejuvenation. Other popular fractionated erbium devices require 3-5 treatment sessions, however just one Total FX™ (fractionated CO2) will give you all the benefit of 5 fractionated erbium treatments and more!
