Lumenis ResurFX

Lumenis ResurFX Fractional Laser Resurfacing

The Lumenis ResurFX Fractional Laser is an advanced 1565nm fiber laser system for true fractional non-ablative skin resurfacing. It is built with the state-of-the-art CoolScan scanner, which is much gentler on the skin than older CO2 resurfacing lasers. With that, the Lumenis ResurFX strikes a harmonious balance between effectiveness and gentleness. A powerful laser producing new skin and collagen in areas treated, this is an excellent option for wrinkles and acne scars, and achieving  youthful, radiant, and glowing skin. With ResurFX, downtime is minimal so that you can return to your busy day after a quick treatment at our office.

How does fractional laser skin resurfacing work?

Skin Resurfacing Lasers deliver light to the skin causing the cells to release proteins that stimulate new collagen and elastin generation.  The laser light is tricking the skin into thinking it has been injured and activates the wound healing pathway in the skin.  This is the same pathway that generates skin when we get a paper-cut or scrape.  The minute columns of light produced by the laser start the bodies’ natural healing process that forms new, healthy tissue. This generation of new tissue is what treats away the skin’s imperfections such as wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and surgical scars.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of our particular type of laser resurfacing?
At The Dermatology and Laser Group we know our Manhattan patients well. We know that the great majority of our New York City patients have active work and social lives and can’t take weeks to recover from their laser procedure. That is why we offer the advantage of Fractional Non-Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing. This allows for great results and a quick recovery. When other resurfacing devices such as CO2 lasers use the ablative method, removing the epidermis and some of the dermis, the drawbacks include red, raw skin, a risk of infection for several weeks after treatment, and prolonged downtime.
What areas can be treated with fractional laser skin resurfacing?

Virtually anywhere on the body can be safely and effectively treated from:

  • Wrinkles and Fine Lines of the face, neck, and décolletage
  • Acne scar of the face
  • Stretch marks of the breasts, hips, buttocks, and thighs
  • Scars anywhere on the body
  • Skin discoloration of the face and body
  • Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments
Is fractional laser skin resurfacing a painful procedure?
The discomfort felt during the procedure is typically described by most of our patients as minor. Patients are also welcome to come in a bit early for their appointment to have a prescription topical numbing cream applied to the areas being treated.
What should I expect after the procedure?
Following the procedure most patients experience redness and swelling in treated areas for a few hours. Rarely, this can last as long as 2 days. The areas can be masked with a physician approved foundation 24 hours following the procedure. As your new skin tissue is generated in the treated area you will notice positive changes in your skin that continue to occur for several months following the procedure.
Where else can I learn about fractional laser skin resurfacing?
The best way to learn more about the procedures we offer at The Dermatology and Laser Group is to visit us for a consultation in our Manhattan office. If you prefer, you may also call and ask to speak to our Cosmetic Coordinator. Various sources on the web also offer valuable information including: WebMD, The Mayo Clinic, and The Cleveland Clinic.

Dermatology and Laser Group Testimonials

  • Came here to see Dr. Akhavan and the experience from start to finish was more than I could hope for. From the moment I booked the appointment I could tell the office is extremely well organized and thoughtful towards their patients’ needs…

    Doug R. , ( Via Yelp )

  • I cannot recommend Dr. Akhavan’s practice enough. Dr. Akhavan answers all my questions, no matter how dumb. Unlike my last dermatologist, I felt that they listened to me and allowed me to have input on decisions regarding my health care…

    Patricia O. , ( Via Yelp )

  • Dr Akhavan is an outstanding dermatologist. I went in for a skin check and he discovered an abnormal mole. Note that I was 8 months pregnant at the time…

    Anda B. , ( Via Yelp )

  • Dr. Akhavan came highly recommended by my close friend and colleague. Although I trust my friend’s word, I still checked the doc out on Yelp. As of today, Dr. Akhavan only has FIVE STAR reviews and you know what? Everything everyone says about him is true!…

    Helen L. , ( Via Yelp )

  • Dr. Akhavan was prompt, courteous and informative. I went on the day of snowpocalypse 2014. It didn’t matter, the doctor and his staff were in the office ready for my visit…
