Why ResurFX Facials?

ResurFX Facials offer advanced skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. This versatile treatment targets multiple concerns, including wrinkles, scars, texture, and tone. Customizable for each individual, ResurFX delivers natural-looking, youthful results for a radiant complexion.

What is it?

The ResurFX™ module of M22™

The ResurFX™ module of M22™ is a cutting-edge fractional non-ablative laser treatment. It’s designed to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating collagen production and addressing various skin concerns without damaging the skin’s surface.

Is it right for me?

ResurFX™ is ideal for those looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimize acne scars, or address sun damage. It’s suitable for most skin types and can be customized to your specific needs. However, a consultation is recommended to determine if it’s the best option for you.

What should I expect?

During the treatment, you’ll feel a warm sensation as the laser creates micro-injuries in your skin. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with many patients describing it as comfortable. A typical session lasts about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treated area.

When will I see results?

You may notice some immediate improvements in skin texture, but optimal results typically develop over time. Most patients see significant enhancements after 3-5 sessions, with continued improvement for several months as collagen production increases.

What can I expect after treatment?

Post-treatment, you may experience some redness and mild swelling, which usually subsides within a few days. Your skin may feel warm and appear slightly pink, similar to a mild sunburn. It’s important to follow post-care instructions, including sun protection, to maximize results.

How does it work?

ResurFX™ technology

ResurFX™ uses fractional laser technology to create thousands of microscopic channels in your skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This triggers your body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The unique CoolScan™ scanner ensures precise and even energy distribution, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing discomfort and downtime.

The treatment

To ensure the utmost comfort during a ResurFX™ treatment, we take several steps:

  1. Pre-treatment preparation: We may apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area about 30-60 minutes before the procedure.
  2. Customized settings: The ResurFX™ device allows us to adjust its settings to match your skin type and sensitivity level.
  3. Cooling technology: The integrated cooling system in the M22™ device helps keep your skin comfortable during treatment.
  4. Gradual approach: We can start with lower energy levels and gradually increase them as you become more comfortable with the sensation.
  5. Communication: We encourage you to provide feedback during the treatment, allowing us to adjust if needed.
  6. Breaks if necessary: If you’re having a larger area treated, we can take short breaks between sections.
  7. Post-treatment care: We provide cooling gels or masks immediately after treatment to soothe your skin.
  8. Take-home instructions: We’ll give you detailed aftercare guidance to manage any post-treatment sensations and optimize your comfort during recovery.

Remember, most patients find ResurFX™ treatments quite tolerable, describing the sensation as a warm prickling feeling. Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable as possible while achieving excellent results.
