Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure commonly used to restore smooth skin that is being affected by wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, dullness, large pores, stretch marks or sun damage. While results can be excellent, old laser resurfacing methods can be very painful and have extended downtime. Things have changed dramatically. A new FDA approved laser device, the Pixel, is designed to improve the quality and texture of the skin while it stimulates collagen regeneration - all without extensive downtime.

Benefits:

• Improves skin texture & tone
• Safe & Effective for any area of the face/body
• Significant improvement with lines, wrinkles, scars &large pores
• The benefits are lasting

The Pixel™ Fractional Resurfacing FDA approved procedure is the next generation of laser skin resurfacing.

How it works:

Pixel skin resurfacing is based on the principle of microthermal treatment zones. The laser pulses create tiny ablative zones in the skin, removing the epidermis and upper dermis. The treatment then triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin tissue.

The Pixel treats small zones of the skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched and intact. These large unaffected areas act as a reservoir for more effective and rapid tissue healing and collagen production. The end result: new, healthier, smoother tissue in place of skin imperfections.

Treatment areas:

Any area of the skin can be treated on which surface irregularities, including: wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks may appear. Common areas treated include the face, neck, chest, hands and abdomen.

Number of treatments:

Generally, treatment involves three to six sessions at three week intervals. Pixel™ is often bundled with other light-based therapies to achieve optimum results, such as IPL Photo-facials and hydra-facials for optimum results.

What to expect:

There is little or no discomfort during the treatment. Most commonly, clients feel some warmth with the pulse of the laser. Clients experience a sunburn-like sensation for a few hours afterwards that is easily neutralized with a laser gels and polysporin.

Some flaking can be experienced for one or two days with full recovery in about five days. Your skin will look better within days following the treatment, and results steadily improve over the next few months.
