Pixel Skin Resurfacing
The Advantage of Pixel Skin Resurfacing
- Minimal Downtime
- Long Term Results
Laser skin resurfacing (LSR), like chemical peels,
dermabrasion and microdermabrasion is commonly
used to restore the youthful appearance to
wrinkled, sun-damaged skin. While yielding
excellent results, LSR often involves discomfort and
significant downtime. That means an extended
period indoors, with no sun exposure – an
impossibility for many active and working patients.
Compared to other methods, Pixel skin resurfacing
saves patients time and discomfort. In short, Pixel
skin resurfacing offers the best of both worlds,
superior results with little discomfort and minimal downtime.

Dramatic results in little time
We all age, yet none of us want our skin to show
the signs of ageing. For centuries, people have
sought ways to safely and effectively restore
smooth, glowing skin. Now it’s possible.
Pixel skin resurfacing improves skin texture and
tone, smoothes wrinkles, and diminishes brown
spots. In short, this procedure erases those factors
that add years to our appearance, restoring youthful
vitality.
Best of all, Pixel Skin Resurfacing does this with little discomfort and minimal downtime. Providing the effective,
dramatic results of ablative resurfacing treatments – without its prolonged healing period – this
procedure combines the best of both worlds. Pixel
skin resurfacing restores skin to its fresh, healthy
state, generally allowing patients to resume their
normal routine almost immediately.
How does it work?
Pixel skin resurfacing is based on the principal of
microthermal treatment zones. The laser pulses
create tiny ablative zones, 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 procedure 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 bottom line: new, healthier,
smoother tissue in place of skin imperfections.
What to expect?
Your therapist will determine the ideal treatment
plan for your needs. Generally, treatment involves
two to four sessions, at four week intervals. Right
after treatment you may feel a slight tingling sensation. As new skin replaces dead tissue, your
skin will flake, a sign that healing is underway. Your
skin will look better immediately, and will steadily
improve over the next few months.
Right after treatment you may feel a tingling sensation similar to sunburn. You may experience some swelling and redness is typical lasting approximately between 2 and 4 days.
Does in hurt?
Pixel skin resurfacing is experienced by most patients as a slightly uncomfortable but tolerable sensation during treatment. It is quite common to experience a tightening of the skin along with a sun burn sensation immediately after treatment. This condition reduces very quickly to a tolerable mild sunburn sensation.
Who can be treated and on what
parts of the body?
Pixel skin resurfacing can be used on patients of
most skin types anywhere on the body. Since this
procedure spares healthy tissue, it can be performed
on delicate skin areas, such as the face, neck, chest
and hands.
