Active FX CO2 laser
Active FX is CO2 laser resurfacing that does in one treatment what usually takes a course.
Downtime of about four to seven days. Skin heals within seven to ten.
How does it work
A high-energy beam of laser light interacts with the skin surface, causing the upper layer to peel away and regenerate as new skin with better colour and texture. It also stimulates new collagen underneath, so improvement continues after the skin has healed.
This is fractional resurfacing: only a portion of the surface is treated, leaving small bridges of untouched skin between. That makes healing considerably quicker than full resurfacing and lets patients get back to normal sooner. It can also be used under the eyes, where anti-wrinkle injections cannot treat.
Ailesbury introduced Active FX to Ireland in 2006, and Dr Patrick Treacy was among the first doctors internationally to refine the technique for use on the neck and hands.
