ResurFX vs. Traditional Laser Treatments – What’s the Difference?
Wondering how ResurFX compares to traditional laser treatments? Discover safer, non-ablative skin rejuvenation at Ariana Esthetic in Edmonton.


When it comes to skin rejuvenation, choosing the right laser technology can make all the difference. At Ariana Esthetic in Edmonton, we often recommend ResurFX over traditional lasers due to its effectiveness, safety, and minimal downtime.
Traditional ablative lasers (like CO2 or Er:YAG) remove the top layers of skin to trigger new cell growth. They come with higher risks, longer recovery, and potential side effects like hyperpigmentation, especially for medium to darker skin tones.
ResurFX, on the other hand, is a non-ablative fractional laser. This means it heats the deeper skin layers without removing surface skin. It’s less invasive, causes less discomfort, and has a much faster healing process. ResurFX stimulates collagen production gradually, leading to natural-looking improvements in texture, scars, fine lines, and overall tone.
Another advantage of ResurFX is its built-in cooling system and customizable settings, allowing precise targeting for different skin types and concerns. Whether you're treating acne scars, sun damage, or stretch marks, ResurFX provides noticeable improvement with minimal side effects.
At Ariana Esthetic, we help you understand the pros and cons of each approach based on your skin’s needs. While traditional lasers may be suitable just for certain cases, ResurFX is often the ideal choice for clients seeking visible results with minimal downtime.
