ActiveFX: The Revolutionary New Laser Skin Peel for Wrinkle Removal and Correction of Facial Aging, Loose Skin, and Photo Aging With Minimal Down Time
Traditional laser resurfacing can produce dramatic wrinkle removal, skin tightening, and facial skin rejuvenation
however the prolonged and difficult recovery following laser facial skin rejuvenation with both the CO2 and Erbium lasers prevents most people from considering this wrinkle removal technique. Initial recovery can take three weeks and the facial skin is left red to pink for up to 3 months. MicrolaserPeel®, another wrinkle removal technique, during which a superficial erbium laser skin peel is done is an improvement, but recovery is still 2-7 days, and the treatment needs to be repeated 3-4 times over several months to achieve the best result.
Recently we have introduced the ActiveFX® Laser , the latest technological break through in non-surgical facial laser skin rejuvenation and wrinkle removal. This technique uses the revolutionary ActiveFX® CO2 Lyte® laser which is a component of the Ultrapulse® Encore® laser made by Lumenis®.
The ActiveFX® Laser exfoliates or removes dead skin, wrinkles, fine lines, pigment, skin irregularities, and tightens skin with only 3-4 days of facial skin pinkness, even less in some people. The ActiveFX provides deep exfoliation, the crucial first step of the 6-step facial rejuvenation program and the beginning phase of any wrinkle removal program. You can have the procedure done on Thursday and return to work on Tuesday, thus you only miss one or two days of work. The procedure is done in the office and takes 15 to 20 minutes. We give patients a pill before hand for relaxation and apply a topical anesthetic to numb the skin so discomfort is minimal. No injections, needles, or other anesthesia is required.
Recently we have been using an additional treatment called Gentlewaves® immediately after the ActiveFX® laser wrinkle removal treatment and this treatment has reduced the pinkness and down time to 4-5 days! The Gentlewaves® is a safe LED (Light Emitting Diode the red blinking light on your TV remote) which soothes the skin after the ActiveFX® wrinkle removal treatment and significantly reduces pinkness and down time.
The benefit of the ActiveFX® laser skin peel for wrinkle removal over other superficial laser and IPL non ablative treatments also called photo facial treatments is that you get deep skin exfoliation and immediate skin tightening as well as wrinkle removal.
The ActiveFX® Laserlyte Peel® is also excellent for eyelid rejuvenation, and can improve or remove eyelid wrinkles and fine lines and tighten eyelid skin and can be done in combination with a laser transconjunctival blepharoplasty for a much improved blepharoplasty result for true total eyelid rejuvenation.
The ActiveFX® laser skin rejuvenation uses a gentle de-powered CO2 laser beam which is scanned over the skin in random fashion so that heat build up is minimized, thus redness or pinkness is lessened and recovery time is much quicker. Unlike the Erbium laser, the ActiveFX® laser Peel produces skin tightening as well as wrinkle removal, two crucial components for effective, real facial skin rejuvenation.
The ActiveFX® LaserlytePeel® is a revolutionary new advance in wrinkle removal therapy, facial skin rejuvenation and non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
The application of the ActiveFX Laser peel following laser laser transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a major advance in eyelid rejuvenation and the treatment of facial and eyelid wrinkles and eyelid aging changes.
