It’s officially laser season! The best time for resurfacing treatments. With shorter days and less sun exposure, recovery is easier and safer, since direct sunlight should be avoided for a brief period after treatment.
Lumenis ActiveFX is an ablative fractional CO₂ laser performed right in the office under local anesthesia and numbing cream, with optional light sedation. Downtime is about a week, and discomfort is minimal.
This laser removes thin layers of skin to stimulate new collagen and reveal smoother, healthier skin. The ablative process creates tiny, precise micro-injuries that the body heals naturally, while the fractional approach leaves surrounding skin intact for faster recovery.
It’s one of my favorite treatments for fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture with powerful results and long-term skin renewal.
