Active Fx Is A Wonderul Treatment For Wrinkles and Brown Spots
The world of lasers is divided in two: ablative and non-ablative.
The non-ablative lasers aim to leave the top layer of the skin undisturbed. They are useful for treating blood vessels, pigmentation, hair, etc. They usually require no time off for skin healing. Unfortunately, there is no good non-ablative laser for treating wrinkles, acne scars, or skin texture issues.
This brings us to the ablative laser category. These lasers intentionally damage the top layer of the skin. The goal...

ActiveFX indications
ActiveFX is a fractional CO2 resurfacing laser. It works well for improving all signs of sun damage and aging: fine lines and wrinkles, pigment spots, evening out skin tone and texture, superficial tightening, improving the appearance of scars.
It works best for fair skin, as most lasers do, since the risk of post-laser skin darkening is the least. It is an invasive treatment, but it is not nearly as invasive as the old-fashioned CO2 laser that took several months to recover from. As...

Active FX for rejuvination
The Active and Deep FX laser is a fractionated CO2 laser. The Active FX improves fine lines and wrinkles, as well as dark spots on the face. The Deep FX works well for acne scarring and deeper lines, especially those around the mouth. Fractionated means that the laser creates controlled zones of damage in the skin, while leaving normal skin in between. This allows for a faster healing time of the skin, with less risk of hyperpigmentation and scarring.

Active FX
Active FX treats sun damage : brown spots, wrinkles, crepy skin, as well as superfical acne scars. It is a fractionated C02 laser system that removes the very outer damaged layers of skin and causing collagen formation and tightening of the deeper layers.

Active Fx is a powerful rejuvenating laser.
Active Fx is the newer version of the old CO2 laser. The laser is now fractionated which means it treats the skin more gently than the original lasers but produces excellent results. Active Fx literally resurfaces the skin improving lines, wrinkles, photodamage, scars and brown spots. It also gives a nice tightening of the skin. Overall it is my favorite treatment for moderate to severe sundamage and can be done in a single treatment.

Active FX effective for rejuvenation, acne scarring, rejuvenation, and reversal of sun damage
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is the new gold standard for skin rejuvenation, acne scar revision, and reversal of sun damage. Active FX, Fraxel Repair and Mixto are among the leading fractional CO2 lasers available.
