Total Rejuvenation
Cosmetic imperfections can appear on our skin at all stages of life and include. TotalFX is a total rejuvenation solution, by treating both deep in the dermis, as well as the skin’s surface.
- Improves fine lines, wrinkles, scars, tone, texture and pigmentation, all at once
- Dramatic results in just one treatment
- Minimal downtime
Taking years off lined and sun-damaged skin like a nonsurgical facelift, ActiveFX achieves immediate, dramatic results that can last for years. It works on multiple levels simultaneously:
- Tightens skin
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Smooths frown lines
- Improves skin tone and texture
- Reveals fresh skin beneath the aged surface
- Stimulates collagen growth for a youthful fullness
We also offer DeepFX, which is an advanced laser treatment that can even more effectively treat aged, sun-damaged or scarred skin. This procedure is typically combined with ActiveFX to give a complete treatment called TotalFX. During the DeepFX procedure, fractional laser beams target the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating tissue regeneration and collagen production throughout the area. The laser can:
- Smooth deeper wrinkles and lines
- Improve the appearance of scars and other spots
- Leave the skin fuller and more youthful
Fractional treatments only treat a fraction of the skin, leaving bridges of untouched skin that aid in the healing process and reduce healing time.
DeepFX uses a very narrow laser microbeam to remove columns of tissue deep in the skin. The body then heals the channel which stimulates immediate new collagen growth to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars and fine lines. ActiveFX uses a larger beam to treat the upper layer of skin to remove unwanted pigmentation, promote new skin regeneration, and improve fine lines and texture.

Ultrapulse Encore ActiveFX and DeepFX by Lumenis
Our device is the Ultrapulse Encore ActiveFX and DeepFX by Lumenis, and it combines the precision of a CO2 laser with the speed of fractional resurfacing technology to provide unprecedented facial rejuvenation.
Your dermatologist will customize a treatment plan for you which will include ActiveFX, and likely include treatment with DeepFX for certain areas that need additional deeper rejuvenation.
While recovering from fractionally ablative laser resurfacing, patients are instructed to avoid strenuous activities and to clean the treated area regularly with water, saline or dilute acetic acid (vinegar soaks) in order to assist in healing the treatment site. Some patients may prefer to remain at home until healing is well underway. Once new skin covers the treated area, cosmetics may be applied to conceal any residual redness which may persist for a few months. When healing is complete, the skin’s appearance will be dramatically improved in tone, texture and tightness.
It can sound involved, and to some degree it is, but the results can speak for themselves. Dr. Lener has utilized this treatment every year or two for over seven years for maintenance and rejuvenation of her skin.
