Skin Resurfacing (ResurFX)
Why ResurFX?
An optimally tailored treatment that addresses the early signs of aging, for noticeable results in:
Fine lines
Skin texture
Overall skin appearance
All in a “lunch-time” treatment offering minimal downtime.
What is it?
The ResurFX™ treatment is a fractional skin rejuvenation solution, which allows Dr. Moss to offer you remarkable results for younger, healthier, glowing looking skin. Our unique fractional rejuvenation technology, the ResurFX™ non-ablative skin resurfacing, allows for comfortable, fast, and effective treatment.
When will I see results?
The ResurFX™ treatment works with your skin to stimulate deep collagen regeneration over a sequence of treatments. Typically, about 3 sessions are needed to have visible improvement in the skin texture and fine lines. However, you will notice changes in the dimensions of your pores after the first treatment. Optimal results are achieved after 3-5 sessions spaced at 4-5 weeks intervals. However, you will continue to see improvements for up to six months following the treatment.
What can I expect after treatment?
Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness or swelling, depending on your customized treatment settings. The swelling will diminish after a few hours and the redness as quickly as the next day or over the next few days. Most patients are able to resume their daily activities the very same day. Dr. Moss advises patients to stay out of direct sun for a few weeks following the treatment and to apply sunscreen daily.
Is it right for me?
ResurFX™ treatments are not suitable for everyone and may carry some risks. The ResurFX™ treatment is not suitable when you have active infections, viral, fungal or bacterial diseases, inflammatory skin conditions or skin cancer.
Risks may include: redness, swelling, scarring or a change of pigmentation.
How does it work?
The ResurFX™ fractional laser is a state-of-the-art, non-ablative, skin resurfacing technology. ResurFX™ fractional laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastic fibers in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating new collagen production is the key to a more radiant, youthful looking skin.
The ResurFX™ technology enables Dr. Moss to achieve excellent clinical results over a series of treatments while keeping your comfort maximal and downtime minimal.
The treatment
To ensure utmost comfort, Dr. Moss will apply a topical numbing cream approximately 30 minutes before your treatment and/or use air cooling during the treatment. Depending on your specific concern, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes. You may experience a warm or prickling sensation as the laser is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable.
