ActiveFX™: Powerful Laser Skin Resurfacing
ActiveFX™ laser skin treatment is designed to improve fine wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, sun spots, acne scarring, and a host of other skin conditions. At our Amarillo, Texas plastic surgery office, Dr. Proffer performs laser skin resurfacing with the ActiveFX™ laser system from Lumenis® for patients who want to look younger without surgery. Laser skin resurfacing is also the perfect compliment to face lift, brow lift, and other facial plastic surgery, helping patients achieve tighter, firmer skin with better tone and texture.
How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works
Laser skin resurfacing actually removes old skin cells, uncovering healthier skin while stimulating the growth of new skin cells. The energy of the laser beam dissolves molecular bonds holding damaged skin cells together. Ultimately, this removes or reduces fine wrinkles and other problems, leaving a more refreshed, clearer complexion. The ActiveFX™ laser skin resurfacing treatment is designed to selectively treat small problem areas of skin, avoiding healthy surrounding skin for a simultaneously more powerful and less invasive treatment.
ActiveFX™ Treatment
Before ActiveFX™ laser skin resurfacing treatment, we apply topical anesthetic to ensure that the procedure is painless. Using a handheld CO2 laser programmed to meet your individual needs, Dr. Proffer treats problem areas in the skin one by one. Laser energy penetrates deep into the skin in selected areas, stimulating re-growth to quickly improve the tone and texture of the skin.
After treatment, many patients experience mild redness and tenderness. These symptoms generally fade within five days to reveal the refreshed skin beneath. Because ActiveFX™ laser skin resurfacing is such a mild treatment compared to alternative laser-based procedures, it is safe for most patients. Nonetheless, Dr. Proffer will evaluate you in detail to establish the safety of laser skin resurfacing before proceeding with your treatment.
