The ResurFX™ fractional laser is a cutting-edge, non-ablative laser treatment designed for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. It's a state-of-the-art technology that works by stimulating the skin's deeper layers to produce new collagen and elastic fibers, key components for healthy, youthful skin.

As a non-ablative laser, ResurFX™ doesn't remove layers of skin but instead creates microscopic columns in the skin, triggering a natural healing process. This approach reduces recovery time compared to more invasive laser treatments. The treatment is versatile, effectively addressing various skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone.

What to Expect from Your ResurFX™ Laser Procedure

ResurFX™ technology allows us to deliver impressive clinical outcomes through a series of treatments, ensuring maximum comfort for you and minimal downtime.

Your ResurFX™ Laser Consultation

At Impressions Face + Body, we prioritize a comprehensive approach. Your visit will include an examination of your skin and a discussion of your concerns and unique goals. We'll also review your medical history to minimize potential risks. By the end of your consultation, you'll receive a detailed and tailored plan, ensuring you know exactly how to prepare and what to anticipate.

How to Prepare for Your ResurFX™ Laser Procedure

Preparation is key to optimizing your treatment results. Adhere to the guidelines provided by your specialist during your consultation. This may involve taking prescribed oral medication or applying (or refraining from) specific facial moisturizers and lotions.

During Your ResurFX™ Laser Procedure

Your comfort is our priority. We'll explain each step before starting the procedure, ensuring you're well-informed. Your treatment will commence with the application of a topical anesthetic. As the laser glides over your face, you might experience a mild warmth and a prickling sensation. The procedure is swift – with treatments typically wrapping up in under an hour, depending on the number of areas addressed.

ResurFX™ Laser Aftercare & Recovery Timeline

Post-procedure care is vital for ideal results. We'll equip you with a list of recommendations to expedite healing. Mild swelling, redness, and discomfort may occur immediately after the procedure. A recovery period (redness) of 1-3 days can generally be expected. Sunscreen must be worn after the procedure.

Am I a Good Candidate for ResurFX™ Laser?

How much does ResurFX™ laser treatment cost in Chicago?

This will depend on the areas of the face being treated. For example, a full face will certainly cost more than one or two specific areas. We will always go over the cost breakdown at your consultation with us.

How painful is ResurFX™ laser?

Most individuals who undergo ResurFX™ laser describe the pain as minimal, as it’s a non-surgical procedure, meaning you won’t need to spend weeks in bed without resuming regular activities.

Are there any risks attributed to ResurFX™ laser?

Risks include swelling post-treatment, the formation of small bumps (Milia), or infection. Because our specialists are highly trained in the protocol and technique required to carry out safe laser therapy, these risks are unlikely.

How Many ResurFX™ laser treatments will I need?

The visible improvement in skin texture from ResurFX™ treatments typically becomes noticeable after approximately three sessions. However, many patients start observing changes in the size of their pores even after just the first session.

The full results are generally achieved after 3-5 sessions, spaced 4-5 weeks apart. The beauty of ResurFX™ treatments lies in their progressive nature; you may continue to see enhancements in your skin up to six months after completing the treatment series. This extended improvement period is due to the ongoing collagen regeneration stimulated by the laser.

What procedures pair well with ResurFX™ laser?

Almost any other facial procedure offered at Impressions Face + Body pairs well with ResurFX™ laser, but if you’re looking to further improve the vitality of your skin, consider a facelift or thread lift.
