Laser Skin Resurfacing with Pixel

Aloha,

Laser skin resurfacing is the latest technology to improve the appearance of scars, fine lines, wrinkles and poor skin texture. Let's give a quick overview of how this technology works.

Pixel laser skin resurfacing uses microthermal treatment zones. Every laser pulse creates tiny ablative zones that remove the epidermis and dermis. This triggers the body's own healing process and stimulates the growth of new healthy tissue surrounding the ablative zones. By treating smaller areas and leaving surrounding tissue intact, the skin heals quickly with dramatic results. An added benefit of Pixel treatment is also increasing collagen production, which will continue for several months after treatment.

Now that we have a better idea of how the Pixel laser works, what is it used for? The Pixel is great for wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Fractional ablative skin resurfacing with the Pixel laser smoothens fine lines and wrinkles The Pixel also has great results with acne scars to really resurface pitted damaged skin and replace this with a nicer, smoother texture. Pixel also aids in evening skin tone and texture by tightening, therefore it aids to shrink large pores.

Does the Pixel hurt? Sometimes this treatment can cause minor discomfort similar to a sunburn, which is usually well tolerated without anesthetic treatment. Anesthetic cream is available for clients if desired.

What should be expected with recovery? The Pixel treatment takes just a few minutes. The treatment may cause redness or discomfort for a day or two. From days 3-5 post treatment your skin will exfoliate and softer, smoother skin will surface.

In summary, fractional ablative skin resurfacing with Pixel can improve the appearence of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne scars, and poor skin texture in just a few days without surgery.
