The high energy beam targets wrinkles, pigmentation issues, texture problems, and acne scars. It also stimulates the growth of collagen resulting in skin that continues to improve over the next 4 to 6 months.
The procedure involves treating only a fraction of the skin's surface, leaving bridges of untouched skin to aid in the regeneration process.
Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing utilizes UltraPulse technology, the gold standard of CO2 lasers, to deliver a low downtime but highly effective treatment that can be customized to each client.
Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing allows the doctor to choose the volume of skin left untreated, therefore tailoring the treatment to each client's needs. Fractional CO2Laser Skin Resurfacing delivers thousands of tiny laser pulses in a pattern over the skin, during the procedure a high-energy beam of light not only smooths out skin and removes brown spots but it also heats the targeted zones, shrinking collagen and tightening the skin immediately. The treatment also heats deeper layers of skin tissue resulting in the stimulation of new collagen. The DeepFX component of the treatment is done first. It is used to stimulate long-term remodeling of the dermis which results in skin tightening, wrinkle reductions and improvement of scars. The ActiveFX component is done immediately after. It is used to resurface the epidermis which results in fine wrinkle reduction, smoothing out the texture of the skin, pore size reduction and pigment correction. The outcome of the TotalFX treatment is a fresher, more youthful appearance with a downtime of 5-8 days.
