Active FX is an ablative CO2 laser which essentially removes the top, damaged layer of skin to reveal fresher, healthier skin underneath. It can help diminish brown spots and other discoloration.
Basically, Active FX helps stimulate collagen production in the dermis so you have a firmer and more even-toned facial or neck appearance. Sun damage and aging can take a toll on collagen levels in skin, which decline over time. With this treatment, you can actually stimulate new growth. The increase in collagen can smooth over scars and other skin irregularities that detract from the appearance.
Active FX is an advanced procedure that performs at high efficiency to maximize patient comfort and success. Compared to the older generation of lasers, it incurs much less downtime. You can expect to see results within as little as a week.

Active FX is a laser treatment that is fractional, which means it only works on skin a portion at a time. This prevents damage by enabling controlled healing and avoiding greater side effects. Skin is replaced with newer layers, which can make a huge cosmetic difference! Cellular regeneration is part of the normal role of skin, which is a living and constantly evolving organ.
You may experience a short recovery period where you feel uncomfortable with the skin, observing skin feels dry and appears slightly pink. Skin may flake off and may take some time to return to its normal appearance (although being rejuvenated and much improved). You should follow Dr. Reza’s aftercare instructions carefully. Some of these instructions are generic such as the directive to wear sun protection diligently and constantly hydrate the skin.
If you have moderate to severe skin damage including creases, skin laxity, hyperpigmentation and wrinkles, you may be a candidate for this treatment. Whether you want to treat a small portion of the face (like the eye area) or a large area (such as the décolletage), you can receive a treatment tailored to your needs. We recommend you follow the doctor’s advice on where to receive the treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Reza will examine you and base your candidacy on several factors: aesthetic need, medical history, active skin conditions, cosmetic history and other criteria.
