Laser skin resurfacing – ResurFX™ is an innovative approach to addressing a wide range of skin concerns. This advanced treatment can target several skin conditions, such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne and its associated scarring, age spots, and superficial skin lesions. In addition, ResurFX™ is particularly effective in areas for pigmentation treatment and can even address stretch marks removal. The laser treatment encourages the body’s natural processes to gradually eliminate damaged or pigmented skin cells, promoting a healthier, more even complexion.
The effectiveness of ResurFX™ lies in its use of microscopic laser beams. These beams are incredibly fine—about the width of a human hair—allowing them to penetrate the skin at precise depths, creating microthermal zones in the tissue. This fractional resurfacing technique is designed to be minimally invasive. By targeting specific areas of the skin and leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed, the treatment encourages rapid repair and regeneration. Healthy cells in the untreated areas can quickly migrate to the treated zones, assisting in the skin’s recovery and reducing the risk of adverse effects.
The result of this approach is improved skin texture, tone, and elasticity, as well as a reduction in pore size, acne scarring, and wrinkles. ResurFX™ is considered a next-generation treatment because it combines the efficacy of traditional ablative resurfacing with the benefits of a non-ablative procedure, which involves minimal downtime and discomfort. Unlike more aggressive treatments, ResurFX™ works with the body’s natural healing processes to stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin tissue.
After the treatment, the body’s healing mechanisms are activated, prompting the production of new collagen, the protein responsible for the skin’s strength and elasticity. This collagen production helps to replace areas of damaged tissue with fresh, smoother skin. The procedure is not only effective but also designed to be safer and more comfortable than traditional resurfacing methods. The precise targeting of skin imperfections, while sparing surrounding tissues, ensures faster recovery and noticeable improvements in skin quality over time.
In summary, ResurFX™ laser skin resurfacing offers a sophisticated, highly effective solution for those seeking to rejuvenate their skin and address various skin imperfections, all while benefiting from a treatment that prioritises both safety and results.
Patients who receive ResurFX™ treatments can expect to feel firmer skin and a smoother surface texture. Generally, the procedure is painless and requires no medication. Some patients may experience a mild sunburn sensation afterward, which can be easily neutralised with a gentle moisturiser. Makeup can be applied immediately after the session.
Laser skin resurfacing with the ResurFX™ laser is suitable for a wide range of individuals looking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin. However, it is important to assess the specific skin concerns, skin type, and overall health of the individual before determining if they are an ideal candidate for the treatment. Below are some key factors that can help identify who might benefit from ResurFX™:
Here are the key aftercare steps that individuals should follow after their ResurFX™ treatment:
After treatment, the skin will be more sensitive to UV rays, so it is vital to avoid direct sun exposure. Sunscreen with a high SPF (at least SPF 30) should be applied daily, even if the weather is cloudy. Wearing wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and seeking shade when outdoors can also help protect the treated skin. Ideally, sun exposure should be avoided for several weeks following the procedure to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation and other complications.
Hydration is essential after laser skin resurfacing. Applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser recommended by your practitioner can help keep the skin hydrated and support the healing process. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water to hydrate the skin from within.
In the days following the treatment, the skin will be more delicate and prone to irritation. It is important to avoid using harsh skincare products, such as those containing retinoids, exfoliants, or strong acids. Instead, stick to gentle, soothing cleansers and moisturisers that are suitable for sensitive skin. Your practitioner may recommend specific products to use during the recovery period.
After treatment, the skin may feel tender or have a mild sensation of tightness. It is important to avoid picking, scratching, or rubbing the skin, as this can lead to scarring or infection. Gently patting the skin dry after cleansing and avoiding the use of rough towels or washcloths can help prevent irritation.
Mild redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn are normal after ResurFX™ treatment. These effects should subside within a few days. However, if you notice any unusual side effects, such as blistering, excessive swelling, or prolonged redness, it is essential to contact your practitioner for advice. They may recommend specific treatments or adjustments to your aftercare routine.
Every individual’s skin responds differently to laser treatments, so it is important to follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner. This may include the use of prescribed ointments or creams, as well as guidance on when it is safe to resume regular activities and skincare routines.
In the immediate days following your ResurFX™ treatment, it is best to avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, such as intense exercise or saunas, as this can irritate the skin. Keeping the skin cool and avoiding exposure to excessive heat can help to minimise discomfort and speed up recovery.
While you may begin to notice improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few days to weeks after treatment, full results often take several months to develop as the skin continues to produce new collagen. It is important to be patient and allow your skin time to heal and regenerate fully.
For optimal results, multiple ResurFX™ sessions are often recommended. Your practitioner will guide you on the appropriate interval between treatments and how to maintain the results over time.
Typically, redness and flaking can last for a few hours to a few days, with full recovery taking around five days. This varies from patient to patient.
ResurFX™ treatments are gradual and usually require 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Yes, you will be given full aftercare instructions following your treatment but you should avoid the sun for the first few days. If you are going to be exposed to any sun at all, you should wear an SPF50, of course. Please do not touch the skin for the first 48 hours except to apply a cold compress. You may wash your face after 24-48 hours using a mild cleanser. Apply a gentle moisturiser. After 4-7 days, you may exfoliate if you feel no skin sensitivity.
