CO2 Fractional Laser

This revolutionary factional laser technology treats aged, sun-damaged or scarred skin.  The CO2 Laser microbeams to precisely target the deep dermal layers of the skin.  This stimulates a cascade of healing responses that lads 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.

Active FX and Deep FX Fractional Lasers

What are Active FX and Deep FX Fractional Lasers?

The Active FX and Deep FX Fractional Lasers are the latest laser procedures using the UltraPulse system that has been very effective in removing acne scars as well as wrinkles.  The UltraPulse platform is a type of fractional CO₂ laser that has been used widely to treat acne scars, problems with pigmentation, and wrinkles.  Active FX and Deep FX works by removing layers of the skin and using your body’s natural healing response, it encourages the growth of new and healthy skin.  After several treatments, patients can see the remarkable improvement in the decrease of their wrinkles and acne scars.

Active FX is for the superficial resurfacing of the skin and is recommended for use for fine lines and mild cases of acne scars and wrinkles.  If you want to treat deep scars and wrinkles, Deep FX is the best for you.  Deep FX penetrates the lower part of the skin layer and repairs deep lines and wrinkles, acne scars, as well as scars formed due to surgery or trauma.  Deep FX can also work in combination with an Active FX treatment and this is called the Total FX procedure.  This is for patients who want to enjoy the benefits of combining the superficial and deep laser resurfacing treatments.

What are the benefits of the Active FX and Deep FX Fractional Lasers?

Active FX and Deep FX are both very popular treatments at the Cosmetic Dermatology Lab because patients are becoming more and more aware of their numerous benefits over the other treatments available.  Both treatments can benefit those with lines and wrinkles, dark spots, acne scars, scars from injury or trauma, and any other irregularities in the face, the neck and the chest.  Both treatments can also help remove signs of sun damage through the formation of new skin and through triggering collagen formation.  Over time, patients will notice the improvement in their skin elasticity and they will have a more youthful, tighter, and firmer skin.

Although optimal results can be achieved with several treatments, patients at the Cosmetic Dermatology Lab can already see a difference after one session.  Using the Active FX and Deep FX procedures results to lesser downtime for patients and does not require as much post-treatment care.  The healing time is reduced to just one week, compared to other treatments that take as long as 3 weeks for healing to complete.
