SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENTS
Youthful beauty is, well, beautiful! But it is also fleeting. Hundreds of years ago most didn’t expect to live much beyond their 30’s and if you did you would become the “village elder” so to speak.
Today we are living well beyond the “village elder” status and feel great doing it. BUT our youthful beauty takes a toll as we live our lives full of sun and fun. We play and live hard but in doing so our skin suffers, some more than others. Fortunately there are a host of things we can do to counter the effects of an active life and aging.
TOTAL FX Laser Treatment
Aesthetica Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa under the direction of Kimball M. Crofts MD is proud to offer the first Total FX skin rejuvenation laser in Utah County. It is truly state of the art technology!
“The TotalFX is the “missing link” of cosmetic facial rejuvenation. Up until the TotalFX laser came along there was nothing truly effective in tightening the skin without excessive down time and long term side effects” says Dr. Crofts.
Dr. Crofts further states that “The typical TotalFX patient will experience about 4-5 days of major healing, in contrast to 14-21 days with other comparative laser treatments. And it works. That is the phenomenal thing about this laser as compared to so many other lasers, peels and skin care products that claim to do the same.”
With only ONE treatment the TotalFX tightens the skin and effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars and folds. Pigmentation and skin tone, even texture markedly improves. This rejuvenation of the skin is achieved through unique fractional technology of the TotalFX by generating new collagen deep in the skin. It is a rejuvenation process that continues beyond the initial treatment results.
The TotalFX is another example of advanced treatments and services offered at Aesthetica. Dr. Crofts with his staff are committed to excellence through the Beauty for Life Program. That commitment enables clients to actively care for their cosmetic needs throughout their lifetime, the primary goal being safety, comfort and complete satisfaction.

KUTV/CBS Channel 2 News story on Fraxel Laser Treatment and Dr. Crofts. Fraxel in Utah
With today’s emphasis on active, healthy lifestyles, most men and women feel a lot younger than they look. Aging and sun-damaged skin, wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, and brown spots often mask their inner beauty. Fortunately, there is a new aesthetic laser solution that provides a fresh chance to turn back the clock on aging.
Dr. Crofts is pleased to be one of the earliest physicians in the world to offer Fraxel Laser Treatment. The breakthrough Fraxel Laser Treatment was developed by Reliant Technologies in conjunction with the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, the developers of the novel concept of “fractional” laser therapy. Fraxel Laser Treatment can be used to improve conditions present in superficial and deeper layers of the skin. FDA-cleared indications include: skin resurfacing; treatment of wrinkles around the eyes; and treatment of pigmented lesions, such as age spots, sun spots, and melasma. FDA clearance is pending for treatment of scars resulting from acne, surgery, or trauma. After Fraxel Laser Treatment, skin generally feels softer, looks smoother and tighter, and pores are usually smaller.
To appreciate the benefits of Fraxel Laser Treatment, think of a family portrait or digital photograph in need of high-quality restoration or touch-up. Just as a damaged painting is delicately restored one area at a time, or a photographic image is altered, pixel by pixel, the Fraxel laser improves your appearance by affecting only a fraction of your skin at a time with thousands of microscopic laser spots. It’s like digital photo-editing software for your skin!
“The unique ‘fractional’ approach is a huge step forward in providing significant cosmetic results with minimal downtime,” says Dr. Crofts. “This advanced treatment is the first cosmetic laser to provide an effective, gradual procedure that creates new healthy tissue by stimulating the body to naturally repair aging and photo-damaged skin without significant risks or recovery time.”
Fraxel Laser Treatment can be performed in our office using topical anesthesia. Treatment takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area(s) being treated. Because the procedure does not “ablate” or remove the outer skin layer, patients can resume routine activities right after treatment. Swelling is minimal and generally resolves in about 2 days. The skin will have a pinkish tone for 5 to 7 days.
For optimal improvement, a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart has been shown to be most effective. Results are both immediate and progressive, with noticeable, beneficial effects accumulating over 1 to 3 months.
