What is
ResurFX?
ResurFX is the non-ablative fractional laser on our Lumenis M22 platform. Instead of removing the skin's surface, it delivers thousands of microscopic columns of heat beneath it.
Each column becomes a tiny construction site: the skin responds by producing new collagen and elastin, remodeling scars, lines, and rough texture from the inside out — acne scars soften over a short series of sessions, and stretch marks respond on a similar timeline.
Because the surface never breaks, recovery is a matter of hours of warmth and perhaps a day of pinkness. The improvement builds quietly over a series of sessions.
Our laser specialists plan the series around your skin's own remodeling pace, which is how gradual treatment ends up producing dramatic results.
The surface stays intact throughout. No raw phase, no peeling week, no wound care.
A few hours of warmth and light flushing, then business as usual with sunscreen on.
Fractional remodeling is one of the most proven approaches to textural scarring anywhere.
Each session builds on the last as collagen matures over the following months.
When you want real remodeling without a raw week, ResurFX is the patient path.
Resurfacing here is never one-size-fits-all. ResurFX earns the recommendation when the concern lives in texture and the calendar has no room for visible recovery.
Acne Scars Outlasted the Acne
Textural scarring responds to fractional remodeling, session over session.
Stretch Marks Bother You
One of the few technologies with a genuine track record on stretch marks.
Zero Visible Downtime Allowed
Client-facing job, busy family, no margin. The surface never breaks, so nobody knows.
You Play the Long Game
A planned series with compounding results suits patients who prefer steady over sudden.
The surface
stays calm.
The rebuild
runs deep.
It means the laser works beneath the surface without removing it. ResurFX heats precise columns within the skin to trigger collagen rebuilding, while the surface stays intact. No raw skin, no peeling week.
Because it rebuilds rather than removes, ResurFX works as a series. Most patients book three to five sessions about a month apart, with improvement compounding at each one.
A series of warm prickles under continuous cooling from the M22's chilled tip. Most patients find it very tolerable without numbing, though topical numbing is available for comfort.
Usually yes. Expect a flushed, warm feeling like mild sunburn for a few hours and perhaps some pinkness the next day. Makeup is fine the following morning.
Acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall texture. Because pigment is not the target, it also suits patients whose main concern is smoothness rather than spots.

What is the downtime for laser resurfacing?
It depends on whether the laser is ablative or non-ablative. Non-ablative resurfacing means 1 to 3 days of mild redness. Ablative resurfacing means 5…
