Will One Active FX Treatment Reduce the Risk of Future Skin Cancer on my Face? I had a basel cell skin cancer removed from my back last summer and my dermatologist told me that Active FX would reduce the possibility of getting a similar skincancer on my face. In all the literature I've read about Active FX, I haven't seen this benefit mentioned. I'm 50 and fair-skinned.

A: Active fx can reduce your recurrence rate for skin cancer

Active fx may reduce your recurrence rate for skin cancer. However, you should know that active fx is a fractionated approach and will get a percentage of your affected cells. Most of the studies on reducing the recurrence of skin cancer are based on complete resurfacing through either chemical peels or laser resurfacing. So, if you really want to reduce your risk of skin cancer I would suggest more complete chemical peels or laser resurfacing. For Active fx, the term would be max fx and this would be more traditional resurfacing and riskier in some sense but safe in qualified hands and a person with experience. We have a tremendous amount of information on our website on these subjects with a photo diary of someone who underwent this procedure.

Recently, after extensive exposure, my face started to show horrible discoloration and spotting. I went to multiple doctors and clinics throughout Seattle, as well as in California.

	“Very, Very Happy with Active FX” It has been 4 weeks since my Active FX treatment and I'm very happy with the results. The reduction in scarring on my cheeks is very good and that's what most people notice. The lines around the corners of my eyes are diminished and my face feels great. I still have keloidal scarring around my neck but even that is not as noticeable as it was. I had no expectations that the Active FX... more
