Active FX for Acne and Redness After Thermage and Fraxel? I have acne scars on my cheeks and redness. I have had Thermage and 1 Fraxel treatment on my face with minimal results. Would I be a canidate for the Active FX treatments?

A: Active FX

Perhaps! It is hard to give you an exact recommendation without an exam but DeepFX can help increase collagen synthesis to help with acne scars. Additionally, ActiveFX helps with some pigmentary changes in the skin.

	“Prolonged Healing from Active Fx -...” Overall, at this point (almost 5 weeks post active fx on face, neck, chest), my face looks horrible. It looked better two weeks after, but progressively got redder and darker red areas around eyes. Also have a small rash under each eye, not sure from what? Have been diligent about sunblock, staying out of sun, using moisturizer, hypoallergenic, etc. Makeup does not stay on my face. I went to... more
	“Very Risky Procedure - Caused Staph...” Please do not have this procedure done. it is very risky! i had active fx 4 weeks ago and still suffering. i am in my 40's and very healthy. i had reasonably nice skin before the procedure and had active fx because of a few brown spots and some minor lines. the laser was not unbearable. since then everything went downhill, i followed all the instructions very closely and carefully. one... more
	“Active FX & Deep FX for Sun Damage,...” I am now on day 6 after ACTIVE FX treatment on my face and DEEP FX under my eyes. I can't tell you how amazed I am with the results! My skin looks better than when I was 12 years old! No joke! I had a lot of sun damage and wrinkles under my eyes and it's all gone!! I almost can't believe my eyes. I was worried about doing it because I've read some bad reviews, but I am so happy I went... more
	“Active FX Painless with Numbing Cream” Just received the ACTIVE FX treatment.Painless with numbing cream. Prior to the procedure, I had numbing cream applied to my entire face. It was painless throughout the procedure. My face is swollen now but no discomfort.Do I start the hydroquinone cream right the way or should I wait 5 days for my skin to heal first? more
	“This is Not a Facial, Its a Serious...” I had procedure last December, when I was 56 on the outside, and 20 something in spirit. I read all available information, and went in with realistic expections (mostly). Not expecting (although wanting) to airbrush the lines, wrinkles, and brown spots away, plus hoping to "shrink wrap" all sagging and turkey neck. Or, to "just look better, and not so tired". I feel my... more
	“So Far, So Good” I have been going to {edited - provider information is located above the review for registered users}, who is a plastic surgeon, for the past 2 years for Botox, and he suggested that I try the Active FX. I'm on my 2nd day post-treatment. {edited} did the procedure under general anesthesia, and I'm so glad that I did it this way. I felt absolutely NOTHING during the procedure. (However, it... more
	“Happy So Far - 5 Weeks In” Why I Did It: I had brown spots, bags, and crows feet. I am 38 and look young until you see my brown spots, and the crows feet when I smile. Pros and Cons: I am 5 weeks in and there is serious improvement. Many brown spots went away, some lightened. The skin under my eyes is more moist and thick. Also, they say that the collagen-regeneration takes time, and I will see more fullness in my... more
	“Not Too Sure Yet About the Results” I had my procedure done a couple months ago and can't really seem to see a huge difference. I got mine done for acne scars on my cheeks. I paid $2000 and the downtime was about 4-5 days before I could put make-up on again. I'm not sure if I am suppose to get it done a few times, but my Dr. told me I would see the best results after 6 months post-procedure. My scars got a tiny bit better,... more
