An Active FX treatment takes approximately 1 hour. You will be asked to arrive early to allow time for numbing of the area. We use a topical numbing cream which provides for a comfortable treatment experience.
During treatment you will feel a heating sensation. Following treatment expect to feel warmth similar to a sunburn. Skin will be red for 7-10 days following treatment. With a gentle washing and moisturizing regimen, your skin will begin to flake at 5-7 days following treatment. After about 4-7 days, you can begin wearing makeup.
While some positive effects of the treatment will be visible right away, others – such as new collagen formation – build up gradually and results in continued smoothing over time. Therefore, most patients continue to show improvement up to 6 months after treatment.
