Acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles are common skin concerns that can affect confidence and self-esteem. Thankfully, advancements in skin rejuvenation technology, such as our laser ResurFX treatment, offer effective, minimally invasive solutions to achieve smoother, more radiant skin.
If you’ve been considering laser treatments to address acne scars or improve skin texture, here’s everything you need to know about ResurFX technology and how it works.
What is ResurFX?
ResurFX is a cutting-edge non-ablative fractional laser treatment that’s part of the Lumenis Stellar M22 platform, a highly versatile system designed for multiple skin rejuvenation treatments. Unlike traditional ablative lasers, ResurFX does not remove the top layer of the skin. Instead, it stimulates collagen production deep within the dermis while leaving the skin’s surface intact, ensuring faster healing and minimal downtime.
How Does ResurFX Work?
ResurFX uses a 1540 nm wavelength fractional erbium laser to deliver precise energy into the deeper layers of the skin. It creates controlled microthermal zones, targeting damaged tissue and stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This triggers the production of new collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for maintaining skin’s firmness, elasticity, and smoothness.
The key to ResurFX’s effectiveness lies in its state-of-the-art CoolScan™ scanner technology, which ensures optimal energy delivery with uniform coverage while preventing overheating of the skin. The treatment is highly customizable, allowing providers to adjust parameters such as spot size, density, and energy level to suit individual skin types and concerns.
Benefits of ResurFX for Acne Scarring
Acne scars are often caused by the loss of collagen during the healing process. ResurFX helps reduce the appearance of these scars by:
• Stimulating Collagen Remodeling: The laser stimulates collagen production to fill in depressed scars and smooth uneven skin texture.
• Minimizing Pigmentation: For patients with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, ResurFX helps reduce discoloration associated with acne scars.
• Improving Skin Tone and Texture: The laser enhances overall skin clarity and smoothness, leaving you with a more even complexion.
ResurFX for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
As we age, collagen and elastin production slow down, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. ResurFX addresses these concerns by:
• Promoting Skin Firmness: The treatment restores skin elasticity by boosting elastin and collagen production.
• Smoothing Fine Lines: Over time, the improved collagen network diminishes the appearance of fine lines, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
• Enhancing Skin Texture: The laser works to refine pores and create a softer, more youthful skin texture.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
ResurFX is a comfortable, quick procedure that typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A numbing cream may be applied before the session to enhance comfort.
After the treatment:
• Mild Redness and Swelling: These are normal and usually subside within a day or two.
• Minimal Downtime: Most patients can resume daily activities immediately, although it’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect your skin.
• Gradual Results: Improvements in skin texture and tone will become more noticeable over several weeks as collagen production increases. For optimal results, a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.
