Active FX Laser Re-SurfacingTM
Active FX™ with the Lumenis Ultra PULSE Encore is the latest treatment utilizing fractional CO2 laser resurfacing with minimal downtime.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing decreases the “down time” associated with conventional CO2 laser treatment by at least 50%, to 4 – 7 days.
With a “fractional” CO2 laser, a select portion of the skin is treated leaving small areas of untouched skin. These bridges of healthy skin cells promote faster healing.
The high energy laser beam is used to resurface damaged skin and promote collagen growth, improving fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. It can also improve acne scarring and uneven skin.
After treatment, there may be swelling and crusting of the treated areas. Patients are asked to use compresses and ointments to facilitate healing which usually occurs in 4-7 days.
"I have been a patient of Dr. Allan Wirtzer for over 10 years, and he never ceases to amaze me with his ability to slow down the aging process in a non-invasive way. Upon Dr. Wirtzers recommendation, I recently had the Active FX procedure done and I am pleased to say that the results were amazing. My skin is glowing and has a brand new texture to it. I get compliments on how fresh and glowing I look. A big plus was that the discomfort and down time were minimal. I spent about five days in the house, and by day seven I was able to go out with make up on and I looked perfectly normal. I would highly recommend the Active FX procedure. I loved it so much I am going to have it done on my chest and arms."
