The Affirm laser is the only fractional resurfacing system on the market today which uses two laser wavelengths and CAP (combined apex pulse technology) to achieve improvement in fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars. Skin looks and feels smoother, as well as slightly tighter.

Q: How does Affirm work?
A: The CAP technology distributes the laser energy to treat all layers of the skin to create a more comfortable and effective treatment for skin texture and tone. It selectively heats water found in the skin to resurface and rebuild fresh collagen tissue. Wrinkles and acne scars are softened.
