The ResurFX laser by Luminous, combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, offers an advanced and effective treatment for skin wrinkles, rejuvenation, open pores, and stretch marks. ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional laser that stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, while PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing and rejuvenation. Together, these treatments help to improve skin texture, reduce imperfections, and promote a youthful, radiant complexion.

Conditions Treated with ResurFX Laser and PRP:

Skin Wrinkles: The ResurFX laser targets fine lines and wrinkles by delivering precise laser energy to the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This helps to:

• Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve skin elasticity and firmness
• Restore a youthful appearance to aging skin

Skin Rejuvenation: Combining the laser with PRP therapy enhances skin rejuvenation by:

• Promoting the production of new, healthy skin cells
• Stimulating collagen to improve skin tone and texture
• Boosting overall skin radiance and smoothness

Open Pores: Large, open pores can be minimized through ResurFX laser treatments, which:

• Tighten and refine pores by improving skin structure
• Reduce oil production and smoothen uneven skin texture
• Help achieve a smoother, more even complexion

Stretch Marks: Stretch marks (striae) form when the skin is stretched rapidly, such as during pregnancy or weight changes. The ResurFX laser combined with PRP can:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin to repair damaged skin fibers
• Fade the appearance of stretch marks over time
• Improve the overall texture and tone of affected areas

Symptoms That May Lead to ResurFX Laser and PRP Treatment:

• Skin Wrinkles and Aging Signs:
  
  • Fine lines, crow's feet, or deeper wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, or forehead
  • Skin sagging or loss of firmness due to aging
• Dull or Uneven Skin:
  
  • Dull, tired-looking skin lacking radiance
  • Uneven skin tone, rough texture, or areas of hyperpigmentation
• Large, Visible Pores:
  
  • Enlarged pores, especially around the nose, forehead, or chin
  • Oily or combination skin with visible pore size
• Stretch Marks:
  
  • Stretch marks caused by pregnancy, rapid weight loss/gain, or puberty
  • Discoloration or texture changes in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, or chest

What to Do Before ResurFX Laser and PRP Treatment:

• Consultation with a Dermatologist: A thorough consultation is essential to evaluate your skin type and specific concerns. The dermatologist will recommend the best treatment plan, determining whether ResurFX and PRP are suitable for your skin conditions.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before the procedure, as tanned or sun-damaged skin is more susceptible to side effects like burns or hyperpigmentation.
• Hydrate and Prep Your Skin: Keep your skin well-hydrated before the treatment and avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or chemical peels 3-5 days before the session.
• Blood Draw for PRP: Since PRP therapy involves using your own platelets, a blood draw will be required before the treatment. The platelets will be separated and prepared for application during the session.

Post-Treatment Care for ResurFX Laser and PRP:

• Sun Protection: After treatment, the skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure. Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily and avoid direct sun exposure for a week.
• Gentle Skincare: Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer and avoid any harsh skincare products like retinoids, exfoliants, or acids for at least 3-5 days post-treatment. This helps soothe and protect the treated skin.
• Hydration and Healing: Drink plenty of water and keep the skin moisturized to support healing. PRP will accelerate the recovery process, but it's important to follow your dermatologist's post-care instructions for the best results.
• Follow-Up Sessions: Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, particularly for conditions like wrinkles or stretch marks. Your dermatologist will recommend the number of sessions based on your skin's progress.
