ActiveFX and DeepFX: A New Approach in the Treatment of Scars
The ActiveFX and DeepFX laser scar treatments for burn, acne, trauma, and surgical scars applies the latest advancements in laser technology and innovations to provide a new and better scar treatment solution. Previous techniques involving dermabrasion, surgery, steroid injections, collagen injections, amongst others offered limited effectiveness1. The new ActiveFX and DeepFX laser treatments are capable of treating the deeper structures of scars with unmatched speed – providing the most comfortable and effective treatment for patients resulting in reduced downtimes and dramatic results.
With ActiveFX treatments the laser treats mostly the surface of the scar. The laser beam is applied in a fractional pattern leaving intact "bridges" of untouched skin to quicken the healing process. This results in new skin generation where color changes in the scar can be evened out and texture improved:
DeepFX is a treatment which goes deeper in the scar. By going deeper, the treatment initiates a healing response that promotes a more organized collagen structure representing more normal skin. This evens out the surface texture and smoothness of the skin. The DeepFX treatment is also applied in a fractional pattern leaving intact "bridges" of untouched skin to quicken the healing process.
ActiveFX and DeepFX provide a superior modality in laser treatments for scars.
