Pixel Laser

What is Pixel Laser Treatment?

Pixel is a “fractional ablative” laser skin resurfacing treatment that primarily addresses aging and the physical signs of aging that go with it. Fractional lasers create tiny holes or “injuries” in the skin to trigger collagen production for a tighter and more youthful result. Fractional lasers can be both ablative and non-ablative, meaning they cause skin peeling. In this case, Pixel laser treatments are both fractional and ablative, making this treatment highly effective in treating lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and skin tightening. It comes with minimal discomfort and minimal downtime. The treatment can also reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

Who is a Candidate?

A Pixel laser resurfacing candidate is a patient concerned with the signs of aging that go beyond pigmentation and age spots. This laser can produce tighter, more youthful skin through the fractional treatment process but also sheds the outer layer of skin. It also combines a peeling resurfacing treatment with a collagen-stimulating treatment for a powerful result. This is one of the most powerful laser treatments and works well on all skin types.

It is recommended that patients exhibit some of the following signs before undergoing treatment: leathery skin, sun-damaged skin, numerous wrinkles in multiple directions, hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, or the presence of pre-cancerous skin growths.

The Procedure

Before your Pixel laser treatment, the targeted area will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The Pixel laser device then creates micro-injuries in the skin using fractional ablative technology, triggering the skin’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen production. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. After the session, patients may experience redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, similar to a sunburn. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, with visible improvements becoming apparent as the skin heals.

Benefits

of Pixel Laser Treatment

The Pixel laser treatment offers a range of benefits for patients seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation, including:

Skin Resurfacing and Renewal

Stimulates collagen production for tighter, smoother skin.

Effective for Multiple Concerns

Treats wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone or texture.

Minimal Downtime

Provides significant results with less downtime compared to traditional ablative lasers.

Customizable for All Skin Types

Safe and effective for both the epidermis and upper dermis.

Combination Therapy

Offers the benefits of both peeling and collagen stimulation in one treatment session.

The Results

Since pixel skin resurfacing laser combines two correction methods, the results can be quite powerful. Most patients should expect some downtime with this laser, with the potential for redness, swelling, and peeling. You’ll want to limit your sun exposure in the days after treatment.

Depending on the depth of treatment, Dr. Sweat may recommend the area be covered with petroleum jelly or a bandage. These factors greatly impact how soon you can expect your final result. The new skin will take a while to form; once it does, the result is drastically younger, fresher-looking skin. Like other laser treatments, the pixel laser treatment cannot prevent aging, but it can help reverse the effects of aging. That is why continued skin protection and health care are key.
