Lumenis Active FX in Oklahoma City
Laser Treatment
A popular method for improving some of the most common skin issues is a laser treatment with Lumenis Active FX in Oklahoma City. In his cosmetic surgery practice, Dr. Erik Nuveen offers these laser treatments for patients who wish to combat signs of aging without undergoing a more traditional surgery.
Rejuvenate Your Skin
Lumenis Active FX sends pulses of light deep into the layers of your skin, heating it. This heat delivered to the deepest layers of your skin targets the damaged pigments and tissues of your skin, beginning a regenerative process in your skin's collagen. By targeting your damaged skin cells, treatments of Lumenis Active FX can treat common issues like:
- fine lines
- uneven texture
- hyperpigmentation
In your consultation with Dr. Nuveen, he will explain the benefits of Lumenis Active FX and how it can remedy some of your most bothersome skin conditions. One of the benefits of a Lumenis treatment is that many skin issues can be repaired in a single pass of the laser, removing the need for multiple sessions, as some laser treatments necessitate.
Common Questions About Active FX
What does the laser treatment feel like?
Since the laser's energy heats the skin in short, focused bursts, the treatment produces a warming effect on the skin, alternated with periods of cooling. Many patients do not feel the need for an anesthetic, though a topical option may be available to you.
How long will the treatment last?
Your Lumenis Active FX laser treatment procedure time will be dependent on your skin condition and the size of the area to be treated. For small treatment areas, your procedure may be completed in under half an hour. For larger treatment sites, or more troubled skin, you can expect the treatment to last up to an hour and a half.
How is the treatment completed?
Prior to your Lumenis Active FX procedure, your skin will be cleansed at the treatment site—often the face, neck, chest or hands. The Lumenis handpiece will then be set to your unique specifications. Slowly and deliberately, the Lumenis handpiece will be passed over the surface of your skin. It will emit short, focused bursts of laser energy which penetrate into the deeper layers of your skin, heating it. When your treatment is complete, an ointment may be applied to the treatment site.
How will I feel after treatment?
It is not uncommon for you to experience some swelling or redness after a laser treatment. These will be short-lived, however. Dr. Nuveen will ask you to take care of your skin, though, making sure to avoid direct sun exposure for several days and to apply a daily moisturizer with SPF.
When will I be able to see the results of my Lumenis treatment?
A couple of weeks after your treatment, when your skin has more fully healed and the rejuvenative processes have begun, you should be able to see the effects of your Lumenis Active FX treatment. Your skin should be smoother with a more even tone. The benefits of your treatment should grow as your skin continues to improve and rejuvenate itself.
