It is a non-ablative laser, which means it stimulates the skin to develop collagen without harming or ablating any skin. As collagen increases, the skin looks tighter, more even, and more youthful. 

ResurFX is also a fractional laser, which means the laser is delivered to the skin in tiny dots and to only a fraction of the skin.  The ResurFX requires only one pass over the skin to produce effective results, reducing treatment time.  Finally, since it is a non-ablative, fractional laser, the recovery time after the procedure is minimized.

During a ResurFX laser skin rejuvenation treatment, we typically use a topical anesthetic. Due to the non-ablative nature of the ResurFX laser, most patients find treatments extremely comfortable. 

Additionally, we use a cooling air device that blows refreshing, cold air on the treated areas for comfort. Treatments can take 20 minutes or more, depending on the size of the targeted area.

After ResurFX laser skin resurfacing, patients can return to their normal activities the following day after the procedure. Redness, swelling, and minor irritation similar to a mild sunburn may develop, but these effects typically subside in just a few days. 

Sun exposure before and after treatment should be avoided and sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher should be worn daily in the days following the procedure. 

ResurFX is completed as a series of treatments. Because it is a limited downtime procedure, it usually requires multiple treatments for significant and meaningful results. 

Typically, at least 3-4 treatments about one month apart are necessary to obtain optimum results, although this varies by the individual and their goal.
