So How Does Resurfx ™ for Men Work?
ResurFX laser treatment targets aging skin by damaging the skin under the surface to promote the body to produce new skin cells.
The lasers cause microscopic wounds beneath the outer layer of skin where collagen and new cells can regenerate.
Some may compare this treatment to microneedling but there is a big difference. These laser treatments use heat and energy while microneedling makes tiny “injuries” that cause the skin to heal.
This treatment combines the intensity of ablative lasers and the gentleness of non-ablative.
Unlike other non-ablative lasers, the ResurFX laser only needs one pass over the skin. This effective treatment saves time and protects the skin. -

How Do I Care For My Skin After My Session?
You can return to normal activity the day after the procedure. Exposure to the sun before and after the procedure should be avoided.
During the first few days after treatment patients should wear sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
Once the skin is healed a daily moisturizer with at least SPF 15 should be used to protect the skin from further damage or aging.
