Why combine ActiveFX and DeepFX?

ActiveFX is a procedure that combines the gold standard laser for resurfacing with fractional coverage which can tighten and smooth the fine wrinkling under the eyes.

Fractional coverage means that only a fraction of the surface of your skin is actually treated by the laser. By leaving small “bridges” of untouched skin, you will heal much quicker and can get back to your busy lifestyle sooner.

 
What can ActiveFX combined with DeepFX do?

Immediate Tightening – Studies show the procedure may produce an immediate 30% shrinkage in damaged tissues. This means that skin laxity (looseness) is noticeably improved.

Textural Improvement – Improve pore size, fine lines, modest scars, and other textural inconsistencies.

Improved Tone – Studies prove the system is not only effective on dyschromia (discoloration from sun damage and aging) but also effective on actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous cells that may be invisible to the naked eye).

New Collagen Formation – Because the system puts heat in the dermis (the lower layer skin), your body’s natural response is to increase collagen production. This gradual process of new collagen formation provides a nice secondary effect – tightening from the lower dermis upward. Most people look even better 3-5 months after the procedure – even without another treatment.

The results from a laser resurfacing procedure can appear to take years off the aging process.

 
Is there downtime?
Most patients experience some swelling and peeling the first 5 days followed by a week of the skin appearing pink which can easily be covered with make up.
