Bridge Therapy | Fractional CO2
Bridging the Gap with Bridge Therapy
Bridge Therapy is the family of fractional treatments encompassing PigmentFX™, ActiveFX™, DeepFX™ and TotalFX™. Each procedure involves treating only a fraction of the skin’s surface, leaving “bridges” of untouched skin to aid in the regeneration process. Bridge Therapy utilizes UltraPulse, the gold standard of CO2 lasers, to deliver a variety of low downtime treatments that can be customized for all of patients.
Patients want the low downtime and safety of non-ablative treatment with results that are closer to traditional resurfacing — now Dr. Diaz can bridge the gap between patient expectations and clinical results with bridge therapy.
TECHNOLOGY and SCIENCE
 |
Continuously Adjust Healing Zone
By carefully choosing the volume of skin left untreated, Dr. Diaz tailor the treatment to the indication and patient’s tolerance of downtime. Only the UltraPulse gives Dr. Diaz the flexibility to leave 95% to 0% of tissue intact.

 Select Volume Treated
Superior treatments balance spot size and treatment depth. As the spot size is reduced, depth can be increased without increasing downtime.

Ablate, Contract and Remodel
Each pulse ablates a column of tissue, eliminating discolorations at the surface and causing volumetric skin reduction. As ablation occurs, deep heating stimulates immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen remodeling.

Deeper wrinkles and scars have a dermal component and are most effectively treated by penetrating deep into the problem areas. Higher percentage of untreated skin enables quicker healing.
Dyschromias are superficial and respond best to near complete coverage. Less untreated skin, a larger spot size and less penetration are ideal for this indication.
