The Pixel technology is truly a breakthrough in skin rejuvenation providing the benefits of a deeper skin therapy with only limited downtime. You can wear makeup the following day to camouflage areas that may still appear darker for a few days. Pixel creates micro-levels of skin injury using a preprogrammed Erbium laser that passes through a patented micro-optics lens. This system of delivery permits computer-controlled micro-laser punctures in the skin to effect skin tightening through collagen remodeling and improvement in texture and tone without significant downtime. These micro-punctures go virtually undetectable to the naked eye. Unlike the Fraxel, there is no need for blue-dye application or the discomfort associated with treatment. After a series of sessions (depending on the level of sun damage but typically three), you will see that your skin is significantly smoother, tighter, and firmer. The Pixel can be easily combined with other no-downtime laser and light therapies depending on what your skin problems are, with a customized program designed just for you.
