How is it different than the other IPL treatments?
Answer: ResurFX vs other IPL treatments ResurFX and Intense Pulsed Light are quite different treatments. Both rejuvenate the skin, but in rather different ways. Intense Pulse Light uses a non-ablative laser that is considered to be more superficial. It mostly treats brown spots, hyper-pigmentation, any discoloration and blood vessels. ResurFX uses a non-ablative laser (less invasive) for skin resurfacing in order to treat scarring from acne, eliminate the appearance of pores, stretch marks, fine lines, and photo-damage. They are very effective skin treatments.

Answer: ResurFX isn't an IPL, but is synergistic with IPL ResurFX is really quite different than IPL. IPL uses focused light on targets such as discoloration or acne to improve complexions and rejuvenate the skin. ResurFX aims deeper in the skin, heating water and collagen with less interaction to the upper visible layers of skin. ResurFX rejuvenates by stimulating collagen and tightening. Patients see an improvement in fine lines, acne scars, pores and stretch marks over several treatments. The improvements are not as significant as those achieved with ablative CO2 fractionated resurfacing, but ablative treatment require significant downtime which may not be possible in people with an active lifestyle.

Answer: ResurFx vs IPL ResurFx is a non-ablative fractionated laser (NAFL). ResurFx is a module on a device that ALSO includes an intense pulsed light (IPL) module, called the M22 IPL.ResurFx and other NAFL created fine channels of heat which lead to increased collagen production. This translates to a decrease in the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, pores, and stretch marks. Other benefits of this device is it allows excess pigmentation in the top of the skin to be transported across the skin surface through these small channels. Through this mechanism, patients can see an improvement in the appearance of melasma and sun spots on the skin. IPL devices can simultaneously improve the appearance of brown spots, redness, broken blood vessels, and pore size. Expert laser physicians may choose to combine a NAFL with an IPL on the same day as these treatments can work synergistically together. Warm Regards,Dr. Peterson
