Very good doctor appreciate everything he has done for me
Dr Crofts did an amazing job on my breast reaugmentation after I had a ruptured implant from a previous implants 17 years ago. He and his staff are amazing and super friendly. I enjoyed the whole experience.
Dr Crofts is a rare find. He is incredibly talented as a surgeon and an amazing human being. We’ve needed his skills on multiple occasions. He’s skills at repairing my son’s crushed hand gave him full use again. We feel very blessed to have him in our lives.
Truly amazing! Can’t say enough about how friendly, knowledgeable and helpful his staff is. As for Dr Crofts himself- He’s very educational, professional and his work is top notch. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon!
Dr. Crofts is an amazing surgeon! I did a fair amount of research before I visited his office. After meeting him and his staff I knew I was in the best place possible for me. The staff were incredibly supportive, thorough, kind and knowledgeable. Everything was explained to me in detail and the staff answered all my questions. From the first day in the office to post op I have been cared for in the best possible manner. My surgery went very well as did my healing process, and my breasts turned out beautiful! I am so happy with the results and I now have more confidence in my body. Dr Crofts is a gifted plastic surgeon who cares about you as a person. I would strongly recommend him and his staff. They are an incredible team!

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?
TotalFX combines two advanced fractional CO2 laser technologies—DeepFX and ActiveFX—to deliver comprehensive skin resurfacing and rejuvenation.
-
DeepFX uses a narrow, high-precision laser microbeam to penetrate deeply into the skin, creating controlled columns of thermal injury. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process and initiates rapid collagen remodeling, effectively improving the appearance of deep wrinkles, scars, and fine lines.
-
ActiveFX targets the more superficial layers of the skin with a broader laser beam to remove unwanted pigmentation, enhance skin tone, and refine texture. This promotes the regeneration of healthy, new skin at the surface level.
Together, these technologies work synergistically in a single session to initiate collagen production for up to six months post-treatment, resulting in visible improvements in skin tone, texture, pigmentation, wrinkles, and scarring.
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
