What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Aesthetica is the only medical spa in Utah County to offer the TotalFX CO2 Laser Treatment. This laser treatment improves the quality and appearance of the skin by minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and dark spots that come with age and sun exposure. The TotalFX is a revolutionary treatment that targets the skin fractionally, leaving bridges of untouched healthy skin cells that aid in the healing process and reduce downtime.
Your total treatment time will last approximately 30-45 minutes, although total time will vary depending on the area treated. You should expect continued improvement for up to six months following the procedure.
The Aesthetica Difference
Dr. Crofts performs the skin resurfacing laser himself rather than having nurses or estheticians perform this treatment. Dr. Crofts will also bring in an Anesthesiologist to assist in making you as comfortable as possible. This also allows Dr. Crofts to give you better results by allowing him to be more aggressive in treatment settings.
Journey To Confidence
Physical exam, get questions answered, create a laser treatment plan and start on pre skin care 1 month before treatment.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions.
Laser treatment in office with light sedation by an anesthesiologist, 2 hour procedure
3 follow up appointments within the first 2 weeks, access to speak with nurse 24 hours a day
Feel the results, see the difference, and enjoy the confidence
Aesthetica Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Kimball Crofts is probably the best doctor I have ever been to. He makes you feel like you are his most important patient and will do anything you need (even if it’s Sunday). His staff is also so kind and there are no better nurses than Amy and Andrea!!

He is so caring and thoughtful and is so good to listen to my needs and what I want to accomplish!! He’s is absolutely amazing!! Thank you Dr. Crofts and his amazing team!!
Dr Crofts was one of the first doctors I’ve had that actually showed he really cared about what happened that led me to need his help. His precision was excellent and I’m incredibly grateful on so many levels for how I’m feeling now after getting my implants removed. I’m so happy with the results and feel like me again. Thank you so much Dr Crofts! His nurses were lovely and always kind and on top of it. Highly recommend.
My daughter was Dr Croft’s patient and I was her post-surgery support. He and his staff were amazing to work with. Very thorough, responsive and personable. Andrea couldn’t be a better support and advisor—she made the whole experience so positive!
Dr Crofts and his staff are all so kind and amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser Skin Resurfacing is a fractional laser treatment that combines DeepFX and ActiveFX procedures for total solutions in one treatment with minimal downtime. Most patients will resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks.
How does Laser Skin Resurfacing work?
Laser Skin Resurfacing utilizes a narrow laser microbeam to remove columns of tissue deep into the layers of the skin. The body then heals the channel, which stimulates immediate new collagen growth to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and fine lines.
ActiveFX uses a larger beam to treat the upper layer of skin to remove unwanted pigmentation, promote new skin regeneration, and improve fine lines and texture. In one treatment, TotalFX stimulates collagen growth for up six months that can improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, fine lines, tone, texture, and pigmentation.
What is the Laser Skin Resurfacing like?
First, Dr. Crofts’ staff will assist in applying a topical anesthetic to aid in treatment comfort. An anesthesiologist will lightly sedate you to make you more comfortable during the procedure and allow for a deeper treatment thus improving results. Dr. Crofts performs all CO2 treatments. The DeepFX laser is done first and then followed immediately by the ActiveFX.
Immediately following treatment, your skin will be warm and it will appear as though you were sunburned. Dr. Crofts will provide you with a skin care regimen for the days following your treatment and as your skin heals, you will begin to notice an improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, tone, and texture.
What are the results of the Laser Skin Resurfacing?
- Reduced appearance of wrinkles, scars and folds
- Improved pigmentation, skin tone and texture
- New skin and collagen formation
