What is the difference between Active FX and Deep FX?

Are they different names for the same product, or are they completely different?

Same laser, different spot size. The bigger the spot size the less deeply the beam will penetrate the skin. So, depending on why you want skin resurfacing done, at the consult they will tell you which one is best to do. In some instances, both will be recommended.
