Laser for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
ResurFX and AcuPulse CO2 both stimulate collagen remodeling to soften fine lines and wrinkles, with AcuPulse offering a more intensive, deeper option.

ResurFX
A non-ablative fractional laser that uses heat energy to penetrate the deeper layers of skin, generating new collagen and elastin without removing the skin’s surface. Only a single pass is needed per session.
Benefits
-
Improves fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and overall texture -
Minimal downtime — most patients resume normal activities the next day
AcuPulse Fractionated CO2
An ablative fractional laser using SuperPulse technology to deliver microscopic columns of energy that penetrate more deeply than ResurFX, producing significant skin tightening in addition to smoothing lines and wrinkles.
Benefits
-
Addresses deeper wrinkles, skin laxity, large pores, and sun damage in fewer sessions than non-ablative options
-
Stimulates significant collagen remodeling and noticeable skin tightening
Post-Procedure Expectations
ResurFX: temporary redness, swelling, and minor irritation may persist for a few days, with normal activities resumed after about one day. AcuPulse CO2: because it is a more powerful, deeper treatment, downtime is longer — patients may need 5–7 days before resuming normal activities, with expected swelling, redness, and some itching or irritation as the skin renews itself.
Enhancing Results
-
A topical anesthetic is applied prior to AcuPulse treatment to maximize comfort for deeper settings
-
Pairing with injectables or facials can round out a full rejuvenation plan — providers typically time neurotoxin about 2 weeks before, and filler about 2–3 weeks after, an AcuPulse treatment
