DeepFX – A Non-Surgical Laser Treatment for Wrinkles, Scars, and Uneven Skin Tone
With age comes wisdom, but not without a price. Older skin loses its elasticity, is thin and saggy, and forms fine lines, wrinkles, and deep folds. The skin's texture is more uneven, and years of sun damage create uneven pigmentation as well. The only way to effectively smooth skin, even out, and re-stimulate collagen growth, is by reaching the deeper layer of the skin called the dermis. DeepFX is a revolutionary solution that targets the dermis in such a way that allows minimal down time, and maximum results.
What isDeepFX and What is The Treatment Like?
DeepFX uses fractional CO2 laser microbeams to target the dermis and stimulate collagen production. Additionally, surface lines and other imperfections are vaporized, resulting in smoother, evenly toned skin. When a patient comes in for treatment, an anesthetic cream is usually applied beforehand. The treatment itself is typically about 20 minutes long. Most patients experience some mild discomfort. After treatment, the skin will appear sunburned.
What Should I Expect During Recovery? Will I Have to Miss Work?
With DeepFX, only a fraction of the skin is actually touched by the laser, which significantly reduces healing time. However, plan for a week of downtime. Healing entails skin peeling, some scabbing, and mild swelling in treated areas. Exposure to sunlight should be minimized as much as possible, and you will be instructed to follow a gentle skin care regimen as well. Plan for about a week of healing time.
How Long Do The Effects of The Treatment Last?
Immediately after treatment, you will notice a great deal of improvement to the surface of your skin. Collagen production in the deeper layers of the dermis is gradual, and you can expect to experiencefurther improvement over the next few months, as the skin increases in elasticity. Proper sun protection and avoiding other skin-damaging factors such as smoking, will give prolong your results for many years.
You can be old and wise, but you don't have to look the part. DeepFX offers the most dramatic results without having to resort to surgery. In addition to rejuvenating the face and neck, DeepFX can be combined with a variety of other treatment options to further enhance your overall look. Be sure to discuss any skin complications or other medical conditions to find out if you are a candidate for this exciting cosmetic treatment.
