Advanced UltraPulse® TotalFX™ Resurfacing for Smoother, Firmer, More Radiant Skin
Deep wrinkles, sun damage, rough texture, and skin laxity can make the face look older than you feel. At CFR Aesthetics in Chattanooga, TN, CO₂ laser skin resurfacing with UltraPulse® TotalFX™ offers a powerful option for patients who want dramatic skin rejuvenation and are prepared for meaningful downtime.
This advanced fractional CO₂ laser treatment targets both surface-level and deeper skin concerns to help improve fine lines, wrinkles, texture irregularities, sun damage, and overall skin quality. The result is smoother, firmer, more radiant-looking skin with a naturally refreshed appearance.
What Can CO₂ Laser Resurfacing Improve?
CO₂ laser skin resurfacing may help improve the appearance of:
- Fine lines
- Deeper wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Rough texture
- Uneven skin tone
- Skin laxity
- Dullness
- Acne scars
- Surgical or traumatic scars, when appropriate
- Crepey skin
- Overall skin firmness and radiance
UltraPulse® TotalFX™ improves fine lines, wrinkles, texture irregularities, and sun damage while promoting smoother, firmer, more radiant skin.
How UltraPulse® TotalFX™ Works
UltraPulse® TotalFX™ combines DeepFX™ and ActiveFX™ in one treatment approach. The current CFR Aesthetics page explains that TotalFX™ treats both deeper skin layers and the surface to stimulate new collagen production and improve visible signs of aging.
ActiveFX™ is used for more superficial resurfacing concerns, such as fine lines, texture, tone, and surface sun damage.
DeepFX™ reaches deeper into the skin to address more significant wrinkles, scars, and dermal remodeling.
Lumenis describes UltraPulse® as offering DeepFX™ and ActiveFX™ fractional modes for resurfacing versatility.
Benefits of CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing
Patients choose CO₂ laser resurfacing because it can create a more dramatic rejuvenation than many non-ablative laser treatments.
Potential benefits include:
- Smoother skin texture
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improvement in sun-damaged skin
- Firmer-looking skin
- Brighter, more radiant complexion
- Improved acne scar appearance, when appropriate
- Collagen stimulation over time
- Comprehensive resurfacing in a customized treatment plan
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Your CO₂ laser resurfacing consultation at CFR Aesthetics is designed to evaluate your skin, review your goals, and determine whether UltraPulse® TotalFX™ is appropriate for you.
Your provider will discuss:
- Skin tone and skin type
- Sun damage and texture concerns
- Wrinkle depth
- Scarring, if present
- Medical history
- Medications and skincare products
- Downtime expectations
- Risks and benefits
- Pre-treatment preparation
- Post-treatment recovery and aftercare
Because CO₂ laser resurfacing is a more advanced treatment, careful planning is essential for both safety and results.
What Is Recovery Like After CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?
CO₂ laser resurfacing involves significant downtime compared with lighter laser treatments. Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear very red, swollen, and raw, similar to a severe sunburn. Recovery can be slow and gradual, continuing for up to two months as collagen remodels and the skin rejuvenates.
Your team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing, comfort, and results. These may include guidance on cleansing, ointments, sun avoidance, activity restrictions, and follow-up care.
When Will I See Results?
Initial improvement appears as the skin heals and redness gradually improves. Continued collagen remodeling may enhance firmness, texture, and skin quality over time.
Because recovery and collagen renewal continue gradually, final results are not immediate. Your provider will explain the expected timeline based on your treatment depth and individual healing response.
