Frequently Asked Questions

How it Works

The gold standard of laser resurfacing systems, the UltraPulse® CO2 laser delivers thousands of tiny laser pulses in a pattern over the skin. Each pulse heats a column of tissue eliminating pigment discolorations at the surface and creating a zone of heating deep in the tissue. Unique to the UltraPulse Encore, these zones of heating shrink collagen immediately*. The CO2 laser also offers the benefits of heating deeper layers of skin tissue, thereby stimulating collagen remodeling the skin further. Patients can select from a range of treatments depending on the needs of your skin and lifestyle.

What is ActiveFX “fractional” laser resurfacing?

ActiveFX 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. 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 is DeepeFX?

DeepFX is a revolutionary fractional laser technology for aged, sun-damaged or scarred skin. The low-downtime procedure uses fractional CO2 laser microbeams to precisely target the deep dermal layers of the skin. This stimulates a cascade of healing responses that leads to tissue regeneration and new collagen formation throughout the entire treatment area. And because only a fraction of the skin is actually touched by the laser, healing time can be limited to just a few days.
 

What you can expect from ActiveFX or DeepFX

Most treatmentsare  performed in clinics with application of  topical anesthetic cream 30-40 minutes before the ActiveFX or DeepFX procedure begins.Cool air is applied to the area throughtout the procedure to aid comfort. There is little to no discomfort associated with the procedure – most clients experience heat for a few hours after treatment. You can drive yourself home after the procedure.

ActiveFX and DeepFX benefits:

• Reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and softens deeper  lines
• Noticeably improves skin tone,pores and texture
• Stimulates new collagen formation and plumps the skin
• Removes Pigmentation,keratosis,melasma.
• Reduces acne scarring
• Reduces stretch marks
• Skin tightening

Active DeepFX is a revolutionary fractional laser technology for aged, sun-damaged or scarred skin. The procedure involves fractional CO2 laser microbeams to precisely target the deep dermal layers of the skin. This stimulates a cascade of healing responses that leads to tissue regeneration and new collagen formation throughout the entire treatment area. And because only a fraction of the skin is actually touched by the laser, healing time can be limited to just a few days.

The results of ActiveFX of DeepFX laser treatment are long-term and, with proper skin aftercare can persist for many years. Most effects of treatment become visible within 1 week, whereas others – such as new collagen formation – build up gradually and become more evident over time. Therefore, most people look even better 3-5 months after the procedure.
