iPixel Laser Resurfacing Treatment

What is iPixel laser resurfacing?

iPixel is a fractional ablative laser treatment used to resurface the skin. “Fractional” means it treats small points within an area, leaving skin between them untreated. “Ablative” means it removes tiny amounts of skin tissue.

Compared to older resurfacing laser technologies, iPixel laser resurfacing treatment is part of the new generation of non-ablative, fractional lasers that give superior results with less downtime.

The iPixel directs a short, intense burst of laser energy onto the surface of the skin. As a result, both water and skin tissue become vaporous within the surface layers.

Each time the laser passes over the skin, tiny areas (or pixels) of the outermost layers are removed. Surrounding skin tissue is untouched and remains intact.

In this process, collagen is stimulated by the body’s natural healing process in order to replace lost skin with new, healthy, and smoother tissue.

As a result of its precision, the iPixel has fewer side effects than ablative resurfacing lasers. As a result, it is suitable for treating anywhere on the skin with minimal irritation.

This controlled treatment encourages the skin’s repair process and collagen production. As the skin heals, its texture can become smoother and some scars and fine lines can look less noticeable.

What can iPixel help with?

The treatment is ideal for the following conditions:

• • Scarring
  • Acne scarring
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Ageing skin
  • Sun damage 
  • Stretch marks
  • Injury scarring 
  • Post-surgery scars

* Results may vary from person to person

Acne scars and uneven texture: iPixel may soften the appearance of some depressed acne scars. Different scar types respond differently, so deeper or more complex scarring may need a combination of treatments. Active acne usually needs to be controlled before scar treatment begins.

Fine lines and rough skin: Resurfacing can help improve fine surface lines and rough texture. Your practitioner will discuss the changes that are realistic for your skin.

Selected scars and sun damage: Treatment may be considered for suitable scars on the face or body and some changes caused by sun exposure. Pigmentation and scarring need individual assessment before choosing a laser.

Benefits of iPixel treatment

Softer-looking acne scars: reduce how noticeable suitable scars appear.

Refined skin surface: help make visible pores less noticeable.

Fine-line improvement: soften selected surface lines through resurfacing.

Focused treatment: address an assessed concern on a defined area.

A plan built around your skin: discuss the treatment area, course and recovery before you commit
