Benefits
ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional laser system developed by Lumenis, used to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and address a variety of other skin concerns including sun damage, skin laxity, and stretch marks.
ResurFX uses laser energy to create thousands of tiny microthermal zones in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation. This helps improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and minimize the appearance of scars and pigmentation.
ResurFX is effective in treating a range of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, sun damage, and stretch marks.
During the treatment, you may experience a warm, tingling sensation on your skin, but it is generally well-tolerated. Your dermatologist can use a topical numbing cream to enhance comfort during the procedure.
The duration of a ResurFX session varies depending on the size and area being treated but generally takes around 30 minutes to an hour.
There is typically minimal downtime with ResurFX. You may experience redness and mild swelling immediately after the procedure, which usually subsides within a few days. You can typically resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
The number of sessions required depends on the specific skin concerns and their severity. Typically, a series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, is recommended for the best results.
Improvement in skin texture and tone is often noticeable within a few weeks after the first session. The full benefits of ResurFX usually become apparent after completing the recommended series of treatments.
ResurFX is generally safe for various skin types and colors, but it's essential to consult with your dermatologist to determine if it's the right treatment for your specific skin concerns.
Yes, ResurFX can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as Botox or dermal fillers, to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your dermatologist can create a customized treatment plan based on your needs.
