In a world where having flawless skin is perceived as a sign of beauty and self-assuredness, scars can be more than just physical marks. They can also put a dent in your self-esteem and overall quality of life. Luckily, advances in dermatological treatments enable patients to reduce significantly, and in many cases eliminate, the presence of scars on their skin. Among these medical breakthrough treatments is laser scar removal with ResurFX, and at LaserSkin MedSpa, we’ve created your ultimate guide to understanding how it works, what it can do for you, and what you can expect from the treatment, giving you the ability to enhance your skin and enjoy a heightened sense of self-confidence.
Introduction to Laser Scar Removal with ResurFX
Laser scar removal is a noninvasive procedure that uses targeted light therapy to improve the appearance of scars, stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. The technology used is ResurFX, an innovative fractional laser that is leading the way in scar treatment. It addresses a range of scar types, including acne scars, surgical scars, and scars from accidents.
Understanding the Technology Behind ResurFX
Many people with surgical scars, acne scars, stretch marks, age spots, or sun-damaged skin may find their blemishes a source of insecurity and embarrassment; however, the healthy glow they once enjoyed is now easily attainable. ResurFX treats scars from the inside out so your surface remains undamaged. It’s non-ablative and won’t strip off any surface layers of your skin. When thousands of tiny laser beams puncture the surface of your skin, it’s called fractional photothermolysis.
This deeper layer of your skin is then triggered to start producing collagen bundles; this changes your scar tissue for new, healthy skin. So many people need clarification on the number of passes it takes to offer their scar treatment with the number of treatments it takes. However, ResurFX offers effective treatment of your areas with just one pass, allowing your treatment to be completed more quickly and with less discomfort than any other laser treatment!
The Benefits of Choosing ResurFX for Scar Removal
Opting for ResurFX at LaserSkin MedSpa has many benefits, making it an attractive option for those looking to enhance their skin’s appearance.
- Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime
One of the major draws of the ResurFX system is its noninvasive nature. Patients experience minimal discomfort, most feeling very little except a mild heat during the procedure. Minimal downtime is also required so they can quickly return to their normal daily activities, making it an option for those with busy lifestyles.
- Safe and Effective for All Skin Types
Thanks to its customizable settings, ResurFX is safe for all skin types and can be adjusted to match each client’s unique skin characteristics and scar depth. This flexibility guarantees that clients receive the most effective treatment possible, whether their skin is dark or light or their scars run deep or shallow.
- Long-lasting Results
Many clinics offer laser scar removal with ResurFX because it makes scars less visible and doesn’t promote lasting skin health. ResurFX stimulates collagen production in the skin to help rebuild its structure, leading to increased smoothness and resilience. Clients generally see complete results in two to four treatments, but the results after each session aren’t just immediate — they also keep improving in the months after the treatments are complete.
What to Expect During and After Your ResurFX Treatment
Understanding the process and what to expect during and after your ResurFX treatment can help prepare you for a smooth and successful experience.
The Treatment Process
Our ResurFX treatment is designed with client comfort and convenience in mind! A topical numbing cream is administered to the treatment area prior to your session to ensure your comfort. Once the area is numb, the handheld ResurFX laser is gently passed over the skin, delivering precise pulses of light that target and effectively eliminate the scar tissue. Depending on the size and complexity of the area being treated, ResurFX scar removal treatments generally take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete!
Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
After the treatment, clients can expect mild redness and slight swelling in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This will subside – usually within a few hours. You should follow post-care instructions provided by LaserSkin MedSpa, like avoiding direct sunlight, following your skin care recommendations, and using sunscreen to protect from direct sunlight.
