What Are ActiveFX™ & DeepFX™ CO2 Laser Treatments?
ActiveFX™ and DeepFX™ are advanced CO2 laser technology treatments designed to improve skin quality through precise, controlled, thermal micro-injuries. These laser systems work by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones while preserving surrounding healthy tissue, allowing for accelerated healing and superior results. The fractional approach targets damaged skin layers while promoting the formation of new collagen cells beneath the surface. This dual-action process not only addresses existing skin imperfections but continues to enhance skin quality for months following treatment.

What Concerns Can Be Addressed With ActiveFX™ & DeepFX™?
ActiveFX™ is specifically designed to effectively address superficial skin concerns with precision. This laser excels at treating brown spots, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation by removing damaged surface layers while promoting uniform skin renewal. Fine lines, rough skin texture, and enlarged pores respond well to the targeted approach of ActiveFX™.
DeepFX™ delivers deep-penetrating treatment for more advanced skin concerns that require intensive intervention. This laser targets deep wrinkles and acne scars while delivering noticeable skin tightening results by stimulating collagen production and tissue regeneration. DeepFX™ is particularly effective for addressing skin laxity on the face, neck, and chest, where traditional topical treatments fall short.

What To Expect Before, During, and After ActiveFX™ & DeepFX™ Treatments
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we evaluate your skin concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals. We'll discuss your expectations, examine treatment areas, and choose which treatment will be best for your needs. Pre-treatment instructions will be provided, including skincare preparations and any necessary medication adjustments.
The ActiveFX™ and DeepFX™ treatments are performed under twilight sedation for your comfort, requiring arranged transportation home. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on treatment areas. This fractional approach maximizes results while minimizing healing time. During treatment, the laser removes damaged surface layers and stimulates deep collagen remodeling for skin rejuvenation.
ActiveFX™: Initial recovery involves managing mild swelling, skin discoloration, and a sunburn-like sensation that resolves within 24 hours. The treated skin will appear bronzed and begin peeling within 4-5 days, with characteristic redness and pinpoint scabs healing within 5-6 days of your treatment.
DeepFX™: This treatment creates more substantial thermal injuries to stimulate dramatic collagen formation. Therefore, recovery involves more intensive healing with initial bleeding, crusting, and swelling for 2-4 days, followed by bronzing and peeling over 4-5 days. Redness persists for up to 7 days, with the skin remaining pink for several weeks as deep collagen remodeling continues. Typical downtime for DeepFX™ is 5-6 days.
For many patients, ActiveFX™ and DeepFX™ often provide optimal results with only a single treatment. However, DeepFX™ may require up to 3 sessions for deeper acne scarring, etched wrinkles, or more advanced skin concerns.
Initial improvements are visible immediately following the peeling process, with skin appearing smoother and more radiant. However, the most dramatic results develop progressively over 3-6 months as new collagen formation continues. Patients typically see significant improvement in skin texture, tone, and wrinkle reduction.
