The Pixel is Fractional Ablative Skin Resurfacing
During the Pixel treatment, only a portion or fractions of the skin’s surface is treated by the laser, leaving small “bridges” of untouched skin.
The laser is focused deeper than the epidermis layers resulting in no downtime. This technique makes the healing process much quicker and enables you to get back to your normal lifestyle sooner than other laser resurfacing treatments.
This unique treatment provides a two-in-one result:
- Ablative resurfacing for smoother texture, reduction in pigment, and decrease pore sizes
- Thermal damage and collagen remodeling for fine lines (i.e.. Eyes and mouth), acne scars, and body scars
The pixel also gets rid of stretch marks!
It usually takes 3 to 4 treatments for best results. Treatment can be done weekly and results seen as soon as after the third treatment. It takes only 20 minutes to treat the whole face, and is suitable for all skin types.
The Pixel is truly a painless facelift!
