UltraPulse Encore Active Fx and Deep Fx
Active FX Treatment
Active Fx is a major advance in the treatment of skin ageing. The Encore uses a CO2 laser in three different modes to produce precise resurfacing of the skin resulting in smoother skin with a more even colour. CO2 laser resurfacing has become the gold standard for the treatment of skin ageing and scarring giving excellent results for many years.
By using the latest fractional resurfacing techniques the skin heals much quicker than before, resulting in an excellent safety profile. To ensure the best possible healing we will give you a care sheet which details the pre-procedure care and after care recommended.
Treatment details
Treatment takes one hour.
The Active Fx component of the Encore is an excellent treatment for brown spots and sun damage. It helps superficial skin texture and fine lines and usually just one or two sessions are required. Post treatment you can expect some redness and pinpoint scabs which usually last three to five days.
The Deep Fx, as its name suggests, targets the deeper supporting structures which have been damaged by many years of sun exposure. It reaches those wrinkles and scars to produce a pronounced skin tightening. Optimal results can be achieved with one to three sessions.
With the Deep Fx there is some immediate bleeding, crusting and swelling which lasts for two to four days. Redness will disappear within a week although the skin may be pink for longer. This can easily be covered with a little make-up. Most people will return to work in four to six days.
The Total Fx is a combination of both Active FX and Deep FX performed on the same day. It helps with both superficial and deep skin rejuvenation. Post treatment there is some pinpoint bleeding, redness and swelling. The scabs peel off about a week later.
