Las Vegas ActiveFX™
Laser Skin Tightening & Resurfacing

Our skin changes over time, losing its youthful look and giving way to brown spots, wrinkles and laxity. In recent years there have been a growing number of aesthetic procedures available to treat the skin. ActiveFX™ - the result of the latest advances in laser technology - is a new procedure that yields remarkable, long lasting results with just one treatment. A fast, office-based procedure with minimal patient downtime, ActiveFX™ is you single-treatment solution for beautiful younger-looking skin.

What is ActiveFX™?

During an ActiveFX™ fractional resurfacing procedure in our Las Vegas office, a high-energy beam of laser light interacts with the skins surface, causing the upper layer to peel off and regenerate a layer of new healthy skin.

With ActiveFX™, only a fraction of the skin's surface is treated. The laser beam is applied in a fractional pattern, leaving small "bridges" of untouched skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster and enables you to get back to normal activities sooner.

What Can You Expect from ActiveFX™?

Our Las Vegas physicians perform the procedure in our office with a topical anesthetic cream that is applied before ActiveFX™ procedure begins. There is little to no pain associated with the procedure - most patients say they feel warmth similar to sunburn. You can drive yourself home or go directly to your Las Vegas hotel, right after the procedure. With a gentle washing and moisturizing regimen, your photodamaged skin will begin to flake off within 2 days. After about 4-7 days, your doctor will probably let you wear make-up. Pinkness should be gone in about a week.

ActiveFX™ Benefits

ActiveFX™ procedures a dramatic effect on the skin:

• Causes immediate skin tightening
• Reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and softens deeper frown lines
• Noticeably improves skin tone and texture
• Stimulates new collagen formation and plumps the skin

Results of treatment are long-term and, with proper sun protection, can last for many years. Most effects of treatment become visible right away, whereas others - such as new collagen formation - build up gradually and results in continued smoothing over time. Therefore, most people continue to show improvement up to 6 months after the procedure.
