ResurFX (Fractional Non-ablative)Laser
ResurFX (fractional non-ablative laser)
The ResurFX laser is a fractional non-ablative laser designed to improve acne scars by stimulating new collagen production deep within the skin. It works by creating tiny, controlled heat injuries called microthermal zones in the dermis, which triggers the body's natural healing process to break down scar tissue and produce new, healthier skin cells. This approach leaves the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) intact, resulting in minimal downtime, a fast recovery, and a reduced risk of side effects compared to ablative lasers. A series of treatments are typically needed for optimal results, with improvements becoming noticeable over several weeks and months as the collagen production increases.

Downtime:
Downtime is minimal; you can expect some redness, similar to a mild sunburn, that typically subsides within a few hours. Some swelling may also occur, lasting a few days.
Results:
Initial improvements may be seen within weeks, with continued progress occurring over several months due to ongoing collagen production.
Series of Treatments:
Multiple treatment sessions, usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart, are generally recommended to achieve significant and lasting results.
