CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing
The gold standard of laser resurfacing is the UltraPulse Encore CO2 laser. Laser resurfacing replaces damaged wrinkled skin with new, fresh, smoother skin; removes skin lesions and improves scars. UltraPulse Encore CO2 laser treatments include ActiveFXTM, DeepFX TM or TotalFX TM. In general, ActiveFXTM targets more superficial skin issues-discolouration from sundamage, fine lines, moles or other superficial skin lesions. DeepFX TM targets deeper skin issues-deeper wrinkles and scars. TotalFX TM is a combination of both ActiveFXTM and DeepFX TM in the same treatment giving a maximized treatment for discolouration, wrinkles, scars and skin laxity. The Ultrapulse Encore laser can treat:
The UltraPulseEncore delivers thousands of tiny laser pulses in a fine grid pattern creating zones of heat deep in the tissue that immediately tightens skin, removes sun damage and stimulates collagen production. Depending on the needs of your skin and your lifestyle, ActiveFXTM, DeepFX TM or TotalFX TM may be recommended.
Fine lines and wrinkles of the face and neck
Loose eyelid skin
Brown spots and uneven skin tone
Scars, especially acne or chicken pox scars, surgical or traumatic scars
Loose skin on the face and neck
Stretch marks
Moles or superficial skin lesions
ActiveFXTM, DeepFX TM or TotalFX TM can produce dramatic results in a single treatment with much less down time than traditional resurfacing. Fractional lasers only treat a fraction of the skin’s surface in a grid-like pattern leaving small “bridges” of untouched skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster, lowers risk and enables you to get back to normal activities sooner. ActiveFXTM, DeepFX TM or TotalFX TM is ideal for those who want noticeable results with minimal downtime (one to three weeks instead of six to twelve weeks as with traditional resurfacing or dermabrasion).
Improvements from UltraPulse Encore CO2 treatments continue for three to six months or more. Pigment, tone and wrinkle issues may dramatically improve after a single treatment. Acne, chicken pox, traumatic or surgical scarring, mole or other lesion removal and deep wrinkles may require more than one treatment one to six months or more later for added improvement.
