Description
Active FX™ and Deep FX™ is a fractional laser procedure performed in a single treatment with a minimal 4-8 day downtime, depending on the intensity of the procedure, which can be customized for each patient’s needs and available downtime. This procedure utilizes unique CO2 technology to treat the skin in a fractionated pattern, which results in immediate skin tightening, as well as removal of fine lines and brown spots. Only one treatment is necessary, which is equal to multiple treatments of other competitor lasers.

Is it right for me?
Lumenis® CO2 laser procedures are not suitable for everyone, for example patients who have taken Accutane® (Isotretinoin) within
the past 6-12 months, or had a history of keloid formation. Risks may include change of pigmentation, infection, redness, textural changes or scarring. Be sure to consult your physician regarding treatment options available and related contraindications and risks based on your individual concerns and medical history, before choosing a treatment.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
DeepFX™ | ActiveFX™ technology
The Lumenis® fractional laser creates microscopic channels that trigger the process of new collagen and elastic fibers production, while leaving some unaffected skin in between the channels to reduce healing time. The result is deep dermal regeneration that dramatically improves your skin elasticity and appearance.
The unique power and precision of Lumenis® technology enables your physician to customize treatments for your specific skin concerns and needs, with optimal comfort and healing time.
The Treatment
To minimize discomfort during deeper treatments, a local anesthetic should be applied to numb your skin. Depending on the treatment area, you can expect the session to last approximately 20-30 minutes.
During the treatment you may feel a warm sensation as the laser is applied but you should not feel any discomfort

IntelliFlash®, cross-polarized and UV lighting are used to record and measure surface and subsurface skin conditions. UV photography provides the most complete data set available for sun damage assessment and analysis, including UV fluorescence imaging to reveal porphyrins.
Canfield’s RBX® Technology separates the unique color signatures of Red and Brown skin components for unequaled visualization of conditions such as spider veins, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and acne.
SPOTS
Spots are typically brown or red skin lesions including freckles, acne scars, hyper-pigmentation and vascular lesions.
WRINKLES
Wrinkles are furrows, folds or creases in the skin.
TEXTURE
Texture is primarily an analysis of skin smoothness.
PORES
Pores are the circular surface openings of sweat gland ducts
UV SPOTS
UV Spots occur when melanin coagulates below the skin surface as a result of sun damage.
BROWN SPOTS
Brown Spots are lesions on the skin such as hyper-pigmentation, freckles, lentigines, and melasma.
RED AREAS
Red Areas represent a variety of conditions, such as acne, inflammation, Rosacea or spider veins.
PORPHYRINS
Porphyrins are bacterial excretions that can become lodged in pores and lead to acne.
