What is the Affirm Multiplex laser?
This is the latest and greatest innovation in the field of non-ablative skin resurfacing. This exciting new technology combines two different wavelengths and uses fractional laser beam to help the skin appear younger, smoother and tighter, while decreasing the downtime of traditional laser resurfacing to a minimum. What is non-ablative skin resurfacing? It is rejuvenation by laser without causing the top layers of the skin to peel. In the case of the Affirm, the only after effect is redness, however the skin surface remains intact. This accounts for fast healing with very little downtime. What is fractional resurfacing? This is a new development in the field of lasers, a result of looking for providing effective treatments without causing downtime, while decreasing the risk of complications such as scarring and infections. What it means in practical terms is that the laser beam is divided to microbeams, kind of like a sieve. For every laser microspot, there is an adjacent microspot of
