ResurFx

How does ResurFX work?

ResurFX uses cutting-edge fractional laser technology to deliver controlled heat into the deeper layers of your skin. This stimulates collagen production - the protein responsible for keeping your skin firm and elastic.

Unlike some resurfacing lasers, ResurFX is non-ablative, meaning it doesn’t remove the top layer of skin, which allows for effective results with less downtime. Treatments are fully customizable to target specific skin concerns while maintaining comfort and safety.

What can I expect during my ResurFX treatment?

During your session, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied to enhance comfort. The ResurFX laser is then applied to the targeted areas in a controlled, precise manner.

Most treatments take 30-45 minutes, depending on the area. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation during treatment, but discomfort is generally manageable and controlled with topical numbing cream.

Am I a candidate for ResurFX?

ResurFX is a great option for patients seeking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin with minimal downtime. It’s safe for all skin types, though your provider may start you on topical medication if you have darker skin (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). Treatment should be avoided if you have active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area and are on skin-sensitive medications like Accutane.

What should I expect after my ResurFX treatment?

After your ResurFX treatment, you can expect some mild and temporary side effects as your skin begins the healing process. These may include:

• Redness and Swelling: Mild redness and swelling are common and usually last 1-3 days - similar to a light-moderate sunburn.

• Warmth or Tingling: Your skin may feel slightly warm or sensitive for a day or two.

• Dryness or Flaking: Some patients experience mild dryness or skin flaking as the treated area heals and renews itself.

Most patients can return to regular daily activities within 1 to 2 days, but it’s important to follow proper aftercare to maximize your results and avoid complications.

How should I care for my skin after ResurFX?

• Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers

• Avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily (SPF 30+).

• Avoid exfoliation for a few days

When will I see results from ResurFX?

Improvements often begin to appear gradually within a few weeks after your first session, as your skin starts producing new collagen.

For optimal results, most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Results continue to improve over the following months as collagen remodeling progresses, leaving skin smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

How long do ResurFX results last?

Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with good skincare and sun protection. Most patients enjoy smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin for 6 to 12 months or longer after completing their treatment series. Most patients schedule maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months to preserve their results and keep their skin looking its best.
