How It Works:

Âme Whole Health Spa offers Lumenis ResurFX™, which is a non-ablative laser treatment. A non-ablative laser generates beams of light using a very narrow range of wavelengths. The wavelength used does not cause the water in the tissue to evaporate (ablate) but rather the laser energy gently heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

The ResurFX™ has a CoolScan™ scanner which uses an exclusive algorithm that controls the placement of each fractional spot. This protects the tissue from heat accumulation and overheating, resulting in no downtime. The ResurFX™ handpiece features continuous contact cooling to enhance patient comfort throughout the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How should I prepare for the treatment?

  Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanners) for 4 weeks prior. Discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), and harsh skincare for 5–7 days. Do not wax, use depilatory creams, or undergo other laser treatments in the area for 1–2 weeks before.  Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores. You may be prescribed an antiviral medication to prevent cold sore outbreaks (for lip/mouth areas). Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

• What should I expect during treatment?

  A topical anesthetic is used prior to the treatment to help minimize discomfort, as well as an external cooling device which is used to keep you comfortable during the treatment.

• What should I expect right after treatment?

  You may experience redness, a sensation of warmth, or a mild sunburn-like feeling that typically lasts for a few hours. Your skin may feel tight or dry for a few days post-treatment.

• What post-care steps should I follow?

  Use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily which will be recommended by your provider. Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily for 4–6 weeks. Refrain from intense workouts, saunas, or hot showers for 48 hours. Avoid picking or scratching the skin if you notice flaking or peeling, as this can lead to irritation or scarring. Avoid makeup for 24 hours after treatment.  Avoid retinoids, acids, and harsh products for about 5-7 days.
