Patients with dry skin often have troubles with wrinkles and lines emerging more quickly in life. With Active FX, dry skin patients will be able to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while also plumping up the skin with natural collage to help create a softer and a smoother complexion.
Dry Skin and the Active FX Procedure
Because Active FX focuses on the outer layers of the skin, removing the lines and wrinkles with them, patients with dry skin can see benefits almost immediately. However, as dry skin patients may have more skin sensitivity issues, the procedure might be slightly more painful and irritating. Patients with dry skin already will notice initial flaking of the skin, perhaps a dramatic amount of flaky skin, before new skin is revealed. As the collagen production is stimulated, patients will begin to see fresher, healthier skin within a week.
After the Procedure
Some pinkness will occur immediately following the 30 to 45 minute Active FX procedure and the skin may be sensitive to the touch. Following the dermatologist's recommendations about moisturizing will help to speed up the healing process for dry skin patients. By removing that outer layer of skin, not only will the skin look smoother, but the dryness can become more manageable for dry skin patients.
