What are Active and Total FX Laser Treatments?
The Ultimate in Skin Rejuvenation without going under the Knife
Total FX Laser Skin Rejuvenation
The Total FX laser treatment is a combination of Deep FX and Active FX™. When used together they are capable of offering the full range of fractional resurfacing. Deep FX offers a deeper micro-ablative treatment to target deeper wrinkles and scarring, while Active FX offers a large superficial spot treatment targeting sun damage as well as, tone and texture. With Total FX we are able to achieve maximum results in collagen production and skin resurfacing in one single treatment. With the Total FX CO2 laser, we can treat the three “T’s” of the skin which are Texture, Tightening, and Tone, making it the ultimate in skin rejuvenation without going under the knife.
Active FX Laser Treatment
Active FX is a high energy fractional laser that interacts with the skin’s surface causing the upper layer to peel off and regenerate a layer of new, healthy skin. The laser beam uses a fractional pattern technique making the healing process much faster, enabling you to get back to normal activities sooner. This laser targets fine lines, sun damage and improves tone and texture.
Deep FX Laser Treatment
Deep FX uses fractional CO2 laser microbeams to precisely target the deep dermal layers of the skin. The deep laser pulses lead to tissue regeneration and new collagen formation throughout the entire treatment area, ultimately resulting in long-term collagen remodeling. Deep FX targets deeper wrinkles and scarring and provides remarkable results with minimal downtime.
How Total FX Works
At our Medical Aesthetics practice serving Scottsdale and Phoenix, we use the Active FX laser skin resurfacing system to stimulate collagen production in the inner layers of the skin, promoting smoothing and tightening throughout the affected area. The Active FX carbon dioxide laser also removes unhealthy patches of skin, causing production of fresh, new skin, and, because it is more powerful than the Fraxel® laser, the skin requires only a single treatment session of about 30 minutes to achieve optimal results.
What Total FX Treats
Patients can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, sun spots, uneven pigmentation, loose skin, and other symptoms of aging and sun damage when utilizing the Active FX laser skin resurfacing system. Patients will be able to recapture the youthful beauty of smooth, healthy, taut skin.
What to Expect from a Laser Treatment
Active FX patients can expect excellent, long-lasting results that begin to appear during the first week following treatment. The treatment process is brief and patients should expect approximately one week of “down-time”, after which they should be able to return to normal daily activities. Most patients will endure minor side effects such as redness, swelling and peeling, typically lasting a week. Smooth, youthful skin and other benefits that result from Active FX laser skin resurfacing can last for several years after recovery.
