Fractional CO₂ Resurfacing with ActiveFX and DeepFX
ActiveFX and DeepFX are two modes of fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing. These treatments create microscopic channels in the skin that stimulate the production of new collagen and elastic fibers, while leaving areas of untreated skin between the channels. This approach supports healing that is faster than with fully ablative laser resurfacing.
