Pixel laser resurfacing is based on the principle of micro-thermal treatment zones. The laser creates tiny ablative zones, removing the epidermis and upper dermis in precise micro-columns while leaving surrounding tissue intact.

This triggers your body's natural healing response — stimulating new collagen production and the growth of healthy, fresh skin. The result is a polished, rejuvenated complexion without the significant downtime of traditional ablative lasers.

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars (surface and deeper)
• Sun damage and brown spots
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Dull, aged-looking skin

Pixel can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands.

Both Pixel and Fraxel are fractional laser resurfacing treatments that create micro-thermal zones to trigger skin renewal. The key differences:

• Pixel: Designed for comfort and minimal downtime — ideal for clients with busy schedules. Multiple sessions recommended for cumulative improvement.
• Fraxel: Generally higher intensity with deeper penetration — may produce more dramatic results in fewer sessions but with more pronounced recovery.

Your nurse will help you determine which approach best fits your skin goals and lifestyle.

Pixel laser resurfacing is highly effective for acne scarring because it:

• Targets both shallow and deep acne scars
• Promotes new skin cell growth over scar tissue
• Blends scars with your natural skin tone
• Stimulates collagen production for long-term texture improvement

How many sessions are needed?

Typically 3–6 sessions spaced several weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns. A personalized plan is created at your consultation.

Is there downtime?

Mild redness and sensitivity for 1–3 days is common. Most clients return to normal activities quickly. Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ during healing.

Is it painful?

Most clients describe it as a warming sensation. Topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment for additional comfort.
