Active FX and Deep FX are both very safe devices if used by experienced practitioners. There are a few ways a provider can get a poor outcome: 1. Using energies that are too high 2. Using densities that do not leave enough healthy tissue intact (anything over 40% with the Deep FX) 3. Poor history taking such as missing that a patient has Vitiligo or any type of collagen vascular disease 4. Poor operative technique like missing certain areas or unintentional passing over the same area multiple times As you can see these are all very predicatable and avoidable. Overall, the most common mistake I see from other practitioners is under treatment and the procedure needs to be done again. Make sure that you see some before and afters from your provider and ask very specifically about their complication rate.
