Procedure
Pixel Skin Resurfacing treatment is fast, easy and effective. Each sessions takes around 20-30 minutes and does not involve any discomfort. Your laser technician will apply cooling air to provide more comfort and prevent any skin overheating during the procedure. During the treatment patients may experience mild stinging sensation on the skin, while straight after the procedure a feeling of a sun burn is normal. Laser technician will apply numbing cream straight after the treatment to eliminate any of discomfort.
The number of treatments depends on the patient’s skin condition. It is recommended to have a series of at least 4 sessions to achieve significant results, though the difference can be seen after each procedure. For deeper fine lines/wrinkles and more complicated problems like stretch marks or acne scars, additional treatments may be recommended.[/vc_column_text]
Candidates
Recovery
Pinkness/Redness may stay for 1-3 days following the treatment. Within the next 3-7 days upper layer of the dead skin cells will start crusting and peeling. A lot of moisturizing and sun protection is recommended during this time.
Upon healing the new skin appears smoother, tighter and younger-looking. Wrinkles, fine lines and scars get less visible with each session. Smoking decreases the skin’s healing ability.[/vc_column_text]
Risks and Benefits
The procedure is non-ablative (no cutting), making this very effective treatment one of the safest light-based facial treatments available. However, there are a few potential risks that include: bruising, blistering, scabbing, and changes in the skin’s pigmentation.
