When areas of normal skin are left behind, the skin heals much faster than with the traditional CO2 devices.ĪctiveFX is a more superficial treatment that is excellent for skin pigmentation and fine lines. Fractionated means that little holes are created in the skin while protecting some areas of normal skin. Many lasers work by wounding (or "ablating") layers of your skin so new, healthier layers can grow in. The Lumenis Active and Deep Fx use a fractionated ablative delivery system that allows for faster recovery than the traditional Co2 lasers with fewer side effects. It can also effectively treat surgical and acne scars. Few other lasers on the market can take five years off of your wrinkles.
