The Total FX laser treatment is a combination of Deep FX and Active FX. When used together they are capable of offering the full range of fractional resurfacing: Deep FX offers a deeper micro-ablative treatment to target deeper wrinkles and scarring, while Active FX offers a large superficial spot treatment targeting sun damage as well as, tone and texture. With Total FX we are able to achieve maximum results in collagen production and skin resurfacing in one single treatment. Learn more about this procedure by visiting our IPL, Laser Resurfacing & Skin Renewal page.
Our newest addition, Deep FX allows our original Active FX laser resurfacing treatment to penetrate even deeper, optimizing collagen production, while reducing downtime. We are now able to customize every treatment based on each patients needs. With Deep FX we are able to target deeper wrinkles and scarring, while adding the Active FX to treat sun damage and improve the skin’s tone and texture.
Active FX + Deep FX= Total FX
The skin is the human body's largest and most visible organ. Keeping it healthy and beautiful requires a certain amount of maintenance and, sometimes, the assistance of a medical professional. Many conditions, such as severe acne, psoriasis and rosacea, require the unique skills of a dermatologist to be successfully treated. Cosmetic procedures to rejuvenate aging skin (IPL® Photofacials) or remove unwanted hair (laser hair removal) are also best performed by a dermatologist who has the medical training and expertise to provide safe and effective treatment. Serving San Diego and La Jolla, Torrey Pines Dermatology offers comprehensive medical, surgical, and cosmetic skin care in a professional but relaxed and soothing atmosphere.
