What is?
The ResurFX laser is a non-ablative, erbium-based fractional skin rejuvenation technology, ideal for stimulating the production of collagen and elastin without damaging the skin’s surface layer. Unlike ablative lasers, which require a longer recovery time, ResurFX creates thermal microcolumns in the dermis, activating the natural regeneration process without causing open wounds.
This treatment is ideal for repairing and improving skin texture and elasticity safely and effectively without compromising your daily schedule. It’s a gentle process, so it's easy to pair with therapies like plasma rich in bio-regenerative cells and exosomes. We simply apply a mask to help those ingredients sink in through the thermal channels the laser has opened up.
ResurFX is particularly suitable for treating:
- Acne or surgical scars
- Stretch marks (both recent and atrophic)
- Fine wrinkles and expression lines
Visible results develop gradually. Four sessions at 5–6 week intervals are recommended, followed by annual maintenance. The cumulative effect promotes enhanced skin texture, increased firmness, and a more uniform skin tone.

ResurFX Treatments
Acne Scars
Perfectly suited to younger skin or the refinement of mild to moderate scarring, this therapy offers an efficient path to renewal with far less downtime than CO2 lasers. ResurFX helps to smooth out uneven skin texture and stimulate cell regeneration.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks, whether recent (red) or old (white or atrophic), can be treated effectively. In the early stages, it can be combined with a pulsed dye laser. In advanced cases, ResurFX delivers excellent results, sometimes combined with fractional radiofrequency depending on skin type.
Fine lines
ResurFX is an ideal, non-invasive solution for treating gravitational wrinkles (visible even when the face is at rest) for anyone who wants to avoid invasive procedures such as CO2 laser treatments. It is particularly useful in delicate areas such as the eye contour, lips and cheeks.
Post-surgical traumatic scars
At Clínica Planas, we often utilise the ResurFX laser following surgical procedures to minimise scar visibility and facilitate more uniform, controlled skin regeneration.
Which areas are treatable with the ResurFX laser?
The ResurFX laser is a versatile treatment for virtually any part of the body, adapting to specific patient needs. The most common areas include:
- The entire face, particularly to improve texture, fine lines and acne scars.
- The neck and decolletage, areas where the skin often shows signs of premature ageing.
- It is also highly effective on areas of the body such as the abdomen, arms, back, buttocks and legs, where it is often used to treat stretch marks, scars or irregularities in skin tone and texture.
Furthermore, ResurFX has proven to be a highly valuable therapeutic tool in special cases, such as in patients who have suffered from serious illnesses and developed severe stretch marks as a result of corticosteroid treatments, as can occur following a bone marrow transplant or other procedures. In these cases, the laser helps to restore skin quality and visibly improve its appearance.
Its ability to treat multiple areas with minimal downtime makes it an ideal choice for those seeking visible results without disrupting their daily routine.
Benefits of the ResurFX laser
ResurFX laser treatment offers numerous benefits for both skin health and patient comfort. One of its key features is that it is non-invasive, meaning that the procedure entails no incisions or general anaesthesia, thereby minimising the risks and discomfort associated with other, more aggressive treatments.
Another major advantage is that there is no complex postoperative recovery. After each session, the patient may experience slight redness in the treated area, which usually disappears within a few hours, allowing them to resume their daily life immediately without interrupting their work or social routine.
ResurFX is a safe and versatile technology, suitable for all skin types; however, for patients with darker skin (very high skin types), certain precautions must be taken to prevent potential hyperpigmentation.
As for the results, this treatment stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen, promoting a regenerative process that visibly improves the skin’s texture, firmness and evenness. The effects are gradual and long-lasting, reaching their full potential once the recommended course of sessions has been completed and with regular maintenance.
A significant advantage is its synergy with other medical-aesthetic procedures, allowing for a combined approach that amplifies restorative and rejuvenating results.

How does ResurFX differ from other fractional lasers?
The main difference lies in its random scanning technology, which prevents heat build-up in treated areas, minimising the risk of overheating, prolonged redness or side effects. This allows for greater precision and safety, even on more sensitive skin.
-
How many sessions are needed to see results?
The ResurFX Laser treatment plan generally comprises four initial sessions, spaced at intervals of roughly five to six weeks. This timeframe allows the skin to complete its natural regeneration cycle and maximises the effects of each treatment. Results begin to become noticeable gradually as the treatment progresses, although in many cases patients already observe visible improvements from the first or second session, particularly in the quality and texture of the skin.
-
Is any recovery time needed?
No. The treatment does not require sick leave or days off work. Any slight redness usually fades within a few hours and the patient can resume their normal routine on the same day.
-
When do the effects on the skin start to become noticeable?
Initial effects can be seen even after the first session, particularly with wrinkle treatments. In the case of scars or stretch marks, the results are more gradual, reaching their full effect by the end of the full course of treatment.
