Eugene, Oregon Laser Resurfacing

Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
Our skin changes over time, losing its youthful look and giving way to brown spots, wrinkles and laxity. In recent years there has been a growing number of aesthetic procedures available to treat the skin. ActiveFX – the result of the latest advances in laser technology – is a new procedure that yields remarkable, long lasting results with just one treatment. A fast, office-based procedure with minimal patient downtime, ActiveFX is your single-treatment solution for beautiful, younger-looking skin.
ActiveFX is a fractional laser treatment for dyschromia, fine lines, and acne scarring that yields remarkable results with minimal downtime.

What is ActiveFX?
During an ActiveFX fractional resurfacing procedure, a high-energy beam of laser light interacts with the skin’s surface, causing the upper layer to peel off and regenerate a layer of new, healthy skin.
With ActiveFX, only a fraction of the skin’s surface is treated. The laser beam is applied in a fractional pattern, leaving small “bridges” of untouched skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster and enables you to get back to normal activities sooner.
Is ActiveFX right for you?
ActiveFX is an ideal treatment option if you:
- have a busy lifestyle or cannot be away from work for a long time
- want noticeable results with minimal downtime
- want to treat dyschromia, fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, or acne scars
ActiveFX Benefits
ActiveFX produces a dramatic effect on the skin:
- Causes immediate skin tightening
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and softens deeper frown lines
- Noticeably improves skin tone and texture
- Stimulates new collagen formation and plumps the skin
- Reduces acne scars
ActiveFX results are long-term and, with proper sun protection, can last for many years. Most effects of treatment become visible right away, whereas others – such as new collagen formation – build up gradually and results in continued smoothing over time. Therefore, most people continue to show improvement up to 6 months after the procedure.

What can you expect from ActiveFX?
Dr. Movassaghi performs laser skin resurfacing in his Eugene office with a topical anesthetic cream that is applied 30-40 minutes before the ActiveFX procedure begins. With a gentle washing and moisturizing regimen, your photodamaged skin will begin to flake off within 2 days. After about 4-7 days, you can usually wear make-up. Pinkness should be gone in about a week. Occasionally, a second treatment may be necessary for some patients to achieve optimal results.
Laser resurfacing is considered cosmetic and therefore is not covered by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment. The specific risks and the suitability of laser resurfacing for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
