Pixel Laser Resurfacing

Service Description

Pixel skin resurfacing utilizes thermal energy pulses to create small micro perforations in your skin.  This allows it to target small areas of the skin, while leaving the surrounding area completely untouched.  Pixel skin resurfacing falls under the category of fractional ablative laser treatment.  This makes it similar to several other types of skin treatments; however the difference lies within the technology being used. One of the highlights of pixel skin resurfacing is that you will see an immediate improvement in your skin.  There may be some slight redness for a few hours after the treatment, however the following several days make the results evident.  This is because pixel skin resurfacing utilizes your own skins collagen production to generate immediate results which will last a long time. Improves Skin Texture and Tone The primary reason many people opt for this treatment is because it improves multiple areas of your skin.  The first thing it will do is improve the overall texture of your skin.  This is accomplished because the micro perforations signal your skins natural repair process to begin.  It can also help shrink your pore size as well.  Finally, it will improve the overall tone of your skin because the unaffected area around the micro perforations acts as a reservoir to promote effective and rapid tissue healing. Stimulates Long-Term Collagen Production The most important benefit of pixel skin resurfacing is that it stimulates long-term collagen production in the treated area and surrounding areas of your skin.  This is vital to seeing immediate results, but also for long-term results.  The lack of collagen production is a primary reason that many skin issues exist.  By stimulating collagen production, pixel skin resurfacing can provide long-lasting improvement by utilizing your body’s own tools and abilities. Ideal candidates for pixel skin resurfacing are those who are in good health and have moderate sun damage but take good care of their skin and practice good health habits. Overall, anyone who has skin that is showing signs of aging can benefit from pixel skin resurfacing. Many patients who have tried non-invasive therapies but want something more aggressive see dramatic results after a session of pixel skin resurfacing.
