Cosmetic Care

The PIXEL Laser is an effective treatment for multiple skin problems. Most common uses for this device are for softening:

• Acne scarring – particularly the shallow rolling scars
  Wrinkles – most effective on mild to moderate, even on delicate areas around the eyes and the mouth
  Pigmentation problems – can reduce the pigmentation caused by sun exposure and the passage of time

The PIXEL laser is quite a precise laser. This laser works by vaporizing away small islands of problem skin in an extremely controlled fashion. It can be used on small areas and larger ones, for example treating the area around the eyes or mouth or treating the entire face..

For larger areas, such as for a full face resurfacing, or a facial area treatment, the process requires greater client commitment. An important part of this process is the consultation. At the consultation, a review of your health, medications, allergies and objectives is taken. This review is followed by a thorough explanation of the process, including showing you photographs of consenting clients at various stages of their healing.

In this treatment, the client prepares the skin with the application of a topical anesthetic cream one hour before the procedure. During the treatment, the client is laying comfortably on the treatment bed. The laser is pulsed over the problem skin. After the treatment, freezing cream is applied on to the skin to keep the client comfortable. A vacuum device is used during the procedure to whisk away the undesired vaporized skin.

After the treatment, medicated creams are applied. It is expected that the skin will be quite rosy for a minimum of three days, on some occasions, a week. After the first three days, concealing makeup can be used to minimize the rosy tone until it subsides. The skin will have areas that look and feel like there are little coffee grounds for the first 5-7 days. This is the dry skin preparing to leave the body. It will fall away on it’s own revealing fresh, smoother skin.

Like all medical procedures, there are some side effects and potential limitations of the treatment. We are dedicated to providing full pre treatment education, so that each client may participate in their treatment choices. We pay close attention to your objectives, lifestyle, and ability to tolerate downtime, comfort, and budget issues. We welcome your questions.
