ResurFx Laser
ResurFX™ is an advanced non-ablative fractional laser treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production.
What Is ResurFX™ Laser?
ResurFX is a fractional laser resurfacing treatment that delivers controlled laser energy into the deeper layers of the skin (dermis) without removing the outer layer (epidermis).
Unlike ablative lasers—which remove the surface of the skin—ResurFX is non-ablative, meaning:
- The skin surface remains intact
- Healing time is shorter
- Downtime is reduced
- Results develop gradually and naturally
This makes ResurFX a popular option for patients who want noticeable improvement without aggressive resurfacing.
How ResurFX Works
ResurFX uses a fractional laser pattern to create thousands of microscopic thermal zones beneath the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response. This process:
- Stimulates new collagen and elastin production
- Improves skin texture and firmness over time
- Softens scars and fine lines
- Enhances overall skin quality
What Can ResurFX Treat?
ResurFX may be used to improve the appearance of a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Surgical or traumatic scars
- Stretch marks
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Mild skin laxity
- Crepey or thinning skin
It is commonly used on the:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest
- Hands
- Abdomen
- Areas with scars or stretch marks
Who Is a Good Candidate for ResurFX?
