Lux 1540 is a fractional laser treatment that uses infrared light energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of skin. The laser creates microscopic columns of controlled injury beneath the skin surface while leaving surrounding tissue intact, prompting the body's natural healing response. It is used to address concerns including acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin texture.

Lux 1540 is suited for people with acne scars, stretch marks, or signs of sun damage who want to improve skin texture and appearance. It works on most skin types, though a qualified provider will assess your skin and concerns to determine if it is appropriate for you.

The appointment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated. A provider will cleanse the skin, apply a topical anesthetic or cooling gel, and pass the laser handpiece over the target area. Most people experience a warm sensation and mild discomfort during the procedure.

Skin will be red and may feel warm or tight for several hours to a few days after treatment. Sun protection and gentle skincare are essential during the healing period. Most people can return to normal activities immediately, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few days.

Improvements in skin texture and appearance typically become visible within 2 to 4 weeks as collagen remodeling progresses. Full results usually appear after 2 to 3 months, and benefits continue to improve for up to 6 months. Multiple sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are often recommended for optimal results.
