Board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon, Dr. Susan Schroeder, further applies her pioneering expertise in energy-based cosmetic treatments to dramatically transform many signs of skin aging.

CO2 Lasers

Carbon dioxide lasers are among the most time-tested, light-based devices available to improve skin quality. Latest-generation technologies deliver ultra-short pulses of light energy to pinpoint specific skin concerns, leaving surrounding areas untouched. The heat that is generated provides additional benefits to the underlying skin by stimulating the production of firming collagen.

The Lumenis AcuPluse multimode laser addresses many skin concerns like warts, wrinkles, pigmentation, and acne scars as well as blepharoplasty.

Fractionated CO2 Lasers

Continuous beams of light from selected devices are delivered to treatment areas in scanning patterns. These fractionated or fractional procedures divide the light into thousands of microscopic columns or channels, which are around ten times smaller than hair follicles. A fraction of the skin is treated at any given time. As the skin heals, collagen fills in the fractionated areas for a tighter, rejuvenated appearance.

DeepFX™ and ActiveFX™

Developed by leaders in aesthetic medicine, Lumenis, DeepFX™, and ActiveFX™ represent CO2 fractional laser skin resurfacing devices. When in the hands of skilled and experienced providers like Dr. Schroeder, they dramatically improve the appearance of deep folds and fine lines alike, as well as uneven tone and a leathery texture. While both technologies have received FDA clearance and are clinically-validated by dozens of studies, each target different skin layers. We can discuss your needs further during a consultation to determine the best approach for you.

What to expect

If these energy-based treatments are appropriate for you, a numbing anesthetic may be applied for enhanced comfort. As the beam of light passes over the surface of the treatment area, the resulting channels that are created not only trigger the production of collagen, but they also stimulate elastic fibers. Additionally, unaffected skin between the channels promotes faster healing and less downtime than comparable procedures and technologies.

As the laser is applied, you may feel some warmth. Depending on your needs and specific skin concerns, treatment can range from around 20 to 60 minutes. Right afterward, the treated skin may still feel a little warm, and the area may be somewhat red and swollen. These effects are temporary and may arise depending on the custom settings that were used for your treatment. Most Perfect Skin Dermatology patients get back to the activities they love in about a week. A daily skincare routine further promotes uneventful and healthy healing.

Lasting results

CO2 Full/Fractionated Resurfacing Treatment at Colorado Springs, CO

Often, all it takes is one treatment session to get the results you desire with this powerful, precision system. Patients also appreciate that they do not have to wait for results. Improvements are noticeable right away, and the results just keep getting better as collagen stores are renewed. The results can persist for around two years, far longer than the results from neuromodulators (like Botox®) and most dermal fillers (like Juvéderm®). Advanced CO2 fractional laser resurfacing also treats a wider range of conditions aside from the deep furrows and fine lines mentioned above, including:

  • Acne (scars)
  • Laxity ·
  • Droopy eyelids
  • Hyperpigmentation (“age” or “sun” spots)
  • Visible pores
  • Some birthmarks

As with all treatments, laser resurfacing isn’t universally appropriate. Some skin types and skin conditions may preclude you from this technology. But you may still benefit from the many other options available at Perfect Skin Dermatology.

As your skin heals following the treatment, you will begin to notice an improvement in wrinkles, fine lines, tone and texture. You should expect to see improvement for up to two years following the procedure due to continued collagen production.

What can I expect after DeepFX™ | ActiveFX™ treatment?

Immediately following treatment, your skin will be warm and may be slightly red and swollen, depending on your customized treatment settings. Most patients are able to resume their daily activities within a week. To support you in the healing process, a daily skincare routine should be prescribed.

How does it work?

DeepFX™ | ActiveFX™ CO2 Skin Resurfacing Technology
The Lumenis® CO2 fractional laser creates microscopic channels that trigger the process of new collagen and elastic fiber production, while leaving some unaffected skin in between the channels to reduce healing time. The result is deep dermal regeneration that dramatically improves your skin elasticity and appearance.
The unique power and precision of Lumenis® technology enables your physician to customize treatments for your specific skin concerns and needs, with optimal safety and healing time.

DeepFX™ | ActiveFX™ Treatment
To minimize discomfort during deeper treatments, a local anesthetic should be applied to numb your skin. Depending on the treatment area, you can expect the session to last approximately 20–30 minutes. During the treatment you may feel a warm sensation as the laser is applied, but you should not feel any discomfort.
