Acne scars
Selected atrophic scars may improve as fractional treatment supports collagen remodeling. Scar type, tethering, active acne and skin tone affect the plan.

What this treatment can help with.
When texture is the problem, ResurFX creates controlled fractional treatment zones below an intact surface to support gradual collagen remodeling.
Common concerns
- Selected atrophic acne scars
- Fine lines and early textural aging
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Selected surgical scars
- Stretch marks and other fractional-treatment concerns
Why patients choose it
- Fractional treatment with an intact skin surface
- Customizable energy, density and pattern
- Gradual collagen remodeling
- Less recovery than many ablative resurfacing procedures
Fine lines
Fractional collagen remodeling may soften selected fine lines and improve the way light reflects from textured skin.
Rough or uneven texture
ResurFX can be used when surface irregularity, enlarged-looking pores or photodamage-related texture is the central concern.
Scars and stretch marks
Selected surgical scars or stretch marks may be considered after the scar’s age, color, thickness and location are assessed.

Read the details here. Vanessa will make the information personal during your consultation.
What non-ablative fractional resurfacing means
ResurFX is a fractional laser within the Lumenis M22 platform. Fractional means the device treats microscopic zones while leaving surrounding tissue untreated. Non-ablative means it delivers energy below the surface without removing the entire outer layer of skin.
The controlled treatment zones trigger a wound-healing response and collagen remodeling. Because only a fraction of the area is treated in a session, improvement builds progressively and a series may be more appropriate than one aggressive visit.
Matching the laser to the scar or texture
Acne scars are not all the same. Rolling, boxcar, ice-pick, tethered and raised scars respond differently, and color left after acne is a separate problem from physical depth. ResurFX may help selected atrophic scars and broader texture, while deeper or tethered scars can require another procedure or combination plan.
Fine lines, rough texture, enlarged-looking pores, surgical scars and stretch marks may also be considered. Vanessa evaluates the concern, skin tone, healing history and expected recovery before selecting energy, density and treatment pattern.
Recovery and realistic progress
Redness, warmth, swelling, dryness and a sandpaper-like texture can occur after treatment. The surface may feel rough before it looks smoother. Diligent sun protection and gentle skincare are important while the skin recovers.
Collagen change is gradual. Standardized photographs taken under consistent lighting provide a more honest measure than checking the skin every day. The final number of sessions depends on scar type, area, settings and individual response.
OptionBest suited toWhat to know
ResurFX
Fractional, non-ablative treatment of texture, scars and collagen-related concerns.
The surface remains intact, but redness, swelling and a dry or rough feeling can still occur during recovery.
IPL photofacial
Selected brown pigment and vascular redness rather than physical scar depth.
IPL is light-based tone correction. It does not replace fractional resurfacing when texture is the main issue.
PRF with microneedling
A mechanical collagen-remodeling approach with an autologous platelet preparation used as part of the plan.
The FDA has not reviewed microneedling devices for delivery of PRP or other blood products. Benefits, limits and off-label use should be discussed.
What to expect
Here is how it works.
01
Diagnose
Vanessa identifies whether the concern is physical texture, color or a combination.
02
Customize
Energy, density, pattern and treatment area are selected for your skin and recovery tolerance.
03
Remodel
Collagen-related improvement develops over weeks and is reassessed across the recommended series.
Appointment guidance
How to prepare and care for your result.
These general guidelines support a better consultation. Your individual instructions may differ.
Preparing for consultation
- Share skin and medical history, medications, photosensitivity, pigment changes, abnormal scarring, cold sores, recent procedures and current skincare.
- Avoid tanning and report recent sun exposure or sunburn; treatment may need to be postponed.
- Follow any instructions about retinoids, acids or other active products before the appointment.
Aftercare and follow-up
- Use the gentle cleanser, moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen plan provided by Dermalier.
- Do not pick, scrub or exfoliate rough or flaking skin while it heals.
- Contact the clinic for blistering, increasing pain, drainage, persistent swelling or unexpected pigment change.
Candidacy
Who may be a good fit?
A consultation confirms candidacy. These points help you understand the kind of patient the treatment may suit.
It may fit if
- You have a texture or scar concern suited to non-ablative fractional treatment.
- You prefer gradual improvement with less recovery than an ablative resurfacing procedure.
- You can follow the skincare and sun-protection plan.
- You understand that deeper scars may need combination treatment or referral.
Treatment may need to wait
- Active acne, infection or open skin in the treatment area
- Recent tanning or sunburn
- A history of abnormal scarring or pigment change that alters risk
- Medication, pregnancy, breastfeeding or a medical condition that makes treatment inappropriate
Planning your investment
What determines ResurFX cost?
Cost depends on the area, intensity and number of sessions in the plan. Treating a small scar is different from resurfacing the face, neck or a larger body area.
The consultation establishes whether ResurFX is likely to produce meaningful improvement on its own or whether another modality should be considered first.

Questions, answered.
These are general answers. Vanessa will make them specific to you during your consultation.
Is ResurFX an ablative laser?+
No. ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional 1565 nm laser. It treats microscopic zones below an intact surface rather than removing the entire outer layer of skin.
Can ResurFX treat acne scars?+
It may improve selected atrophic acne scars and broader uneven texture. Scar type, depth, tethering, active acne, skin tone and prior treatment affect whether it is the right option.
What is the difference between IPL and ResurFX?+
IPL primarily targets selected brown pigment and vascular redness. ResurFX is a fractional laser used for texture, scars, fine lines and collagen remodeling.
How much downtime should I expect?+
Redness, swelling, warmth, dryness and a rough texture can occur for several days. Exact recovery depends on the area, settings and individual skin response.
How many ResurFX treatments will I need?+
Many patients benefit from a series. The number and spacing depend on the concern, treatment intensity and how your skin responds.
When will I see the final result?+
Some surface change can be noticed as the skin recovers, but collagen remodeling continues over the following weeks and months. Progress is assessed across the treatment series.
