Thank you

ResurFX uses a non-ablative fractional technology for skin resurfacing. It treats scarring from acne, eliminates the appearance of pores, stretch marks, fine lines, and photo-damage. It also treats pigmentation such as brown spots and melasma. It has minimal downtime but, requires a series of sessions. It is the perfect procedure for patients that want to improve their skin without having to heal for a long downtime.

The ResurFX fractional laser is a non-ablative, skin resurfacing technology. This laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastic fibers in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating new collagen production is the key to a more radiant, youthful looking skin. This technology enables your physician to achieve excellent clinical results over a sequence of treatments while keeping your comfort maximal and downtime minimal.The Lumenis ResurFX treatment works with your skin to stimulate deep collagen regeneration over a sequence of treatments. Typically, about 3 sessions are needed to have visible improvement in the skin texture and fine lines. But, already after the first treatment, you will notice changes in pores dimensions. Optimal results are achieved after 3-5 sessions in 4-5 weeks intervals. However, you will continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.Best of Luck!

Resurfx is the newest introduction by Lumenis to target skin and do skin resurfacing by what is known as non-ablative fractional resurfacing. It essentially drills very targeted and controlled holes in a computer generated pattern in the deeper layer of the skin called the dermis. It spares the surface of the skin and does not cause sloughing or peeling etc.The concept is a great one and the results are also very good. It is not a system where you will see instantaneous results. The injury created in the deep layers of the skin has to heal and that takes time.  But over time, the skin does improve and tighten and soften and pores and scars and also stretch marks improve.I generally perform a series of 3 treatment every 8 weeks or so to get patients corrected as much as possible. After that, i do treatment a couple of times a year.So, it is effective.  I also often combine other laser modalities with it to target all the different problems of the skin at the same time. So now, I use a multimodal laser treatment in one session along with fillers at the same time to do a comprehensive facial rejuvenation non surgically.
