ResurFX is an FDA-approved, non-ablative laser means to improve the appearance of the skin. It is a more aggressive option to IPL lasers and aims to improve skin texture, laxity, and tone, as well as diminish the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and fine lines and wrinkles. It is a non-ablative laser, meaning the skin is left intact, requiring little to no downtime. Unlike other photorejuvenation treatments, ResurFX only requires one pass over the skin.
ResurFX is most commonly used to treat the face, however, other areas of the body can also benefit from treatment. The neck and décolletage are popular treatment areas, as well as the forearms.
This treatment is most commonly used to treat:
During your ResurFX treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort during treatment. A cooling air device is also used to ensure a comfortable skin temperature. Then, the special ResurFX laser will be applied over the treatment area. Treatments can last 20 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the treatment area.
If you are an overall healthy individual looking to improve the appearance of your skin, ResurFX may be the right choice for you! The best candidates will have early signs of aging, especially around the eyes, nose, and mouth. However, a consultation is the first step in determining your candidacy.

After your ResurFX treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling, which should subside in a few days. Overall recovery time is short, and most people can return to their everyday activities the day after treatment. Be sure to avoid sun exposure before and after treatment to protect the skin. Once your skin is healed, wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day to maintain results. You will not experience any peeling, though the skin may feel rough for about 1-2 weeks after treatment.
The majority of patients will require a series of about 3-4 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart to see best results.
