Ipixel Laser Resurfacing
$350-$550
The iPixel fractional laser is a non-invasive procedure designed to help rejuvenate the skin, providing smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
iPixel fractional laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses the power of laser technology to address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and uneven skin texture. The iPixel laser delivers focused laser energy in the form of microscopic columns of light that penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration. This treatment targets only a fraction of the skin, leaving healthy tissue untouched and speeding up the healing process.
It’s highly effective for:
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving skin texture and tone
- Treating acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks
- Reducing pigmentation and age spots
- Enhancing overall skin radiance and firmness
What Does iPixel Fractional Laser Do?
iPixel fractional laser works by creating thousands of microscopic, controlled “micro-injuries” in the skin. These tiny areas of damage stimulate the body’s natural healing process, triggering collagen production and improving skin texture and appearance. Over time, the skin regenerates, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, which targets the entire skin surface, fractional laser works in a more targeted and controlled way. The skin is treated in a grid-like pattern, with healthy tissue between the treated areas, ensuring a faster recovery and minimal downtime. The result is smoother, tighter skin with improved texture and tone.
Is iPixel Fractional Laser Painful?
While the procedure may cause some discomfort, most patients find it tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to minimize pain. You may experience a mild sensation of heat or a slight stinging feeling during the procedure. Afterward, the treated area might feel like a mild sunburn, which usually fades within a few hours.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended, depending on your skin type and concerns. Some patients may see improvements after just one session, but for more significant changes, multiple treatments may be necessary.
How Long Does a Treatment Session Take?
An iPixel fractional laser treatment usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. It’s a relatively quick procedure, and most people can resume their normal activities the same day.
Is IPixel Fractional Laser the Same as CO2 Laser?
While both iPixel fractional laser and CO2 laser are skin resurfacing treatments, the main difference is that CO2 lasers are more aggressive and typically require more downtime. iPixel fractional laser is less invasive, with a faster recovery time, making it an excellent option for those who want to improve their skin with minimal disruption to their daily routine.
Is There Any Downtime After the Procedure?
After the treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and a mild heat sensation, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically last 24 to 48 hours. Pigmentation spots may darken temporarily before sloughing off over the next few days. As your skin heals and collagen production increases, you’ll begin to notice smoother, firmer skin and a more even complexion.
How Do I Take Care of My Skin After the Treatment?
After your iPixel fractional laser treatment, you should:
- Apply a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks.
- Refrain from using harsh exfoliants or active skincare ingredients like retinoids until your skin has fully healed.
- Follow any additional post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner.
