What is Pixel Fractional Laser Resurfacing?

Fractional Laser works by breaking the laser beam into tiny dots, creating small micro-injuries in the skin. These areas then heal with fresh, improved skin. The heat also stimulates collagen growth. These small laser dots will also slowly punch out pigmentation and scars. The results are variable, but this is a powerful machine. The name Pixel describes how the laser works; it is comparable to the pixelation dots on a TV.

This laser can be used on most skin types, including some darker skin types, which are unsuitable for lights and lasers that are attracted to pigment.

Pixel Fractional Laser Resurfacing is available at our Nedlands and Applecross clinics.

What happens before the treatment?

Patients should avoid blood-thinning medications and report any recent changes in health.

The area should be clean and dry prior to treatment, with no makeup applied. Numbing cream can be applied and gas can be used to make you more comfortable during treatment, although many patients have said this treatment hasn’t been particularly uncomfortable.

Eye shields will be placed in situ to protect your eyes. A small vacuum-cleaning type device will suck up any dead skin cells. Treatments will take approximately 15-30 minutes and longer for larger areas.

What happens after the Pixel Fractional Laser Resurfacing treatment?

The area treated will look like the pixelation of a TV set. These are usually fine white dots. The area then becomes redder and warmer, like sunburn. Discomfort is usually minimal.

Aftercare instructions are available and you should strictly follow these. Usually, this involves icing and the use of a bland moisturiser. The skin should be kept lightly moist for at least 2 days. Some patients experience peeling and scabbing. Make-up should be avoided until the skin is healed, this is usually up to 5 days.

Downtime can be from 1 day to 1 week. Recovery is usually much faster than Erbium laser resurfacing. You need to be realistic and be aware that this treatment has variable outcomes. The average is usually 3-4 treatments. You should sleep with an extra pillow, upright to reduce swelling and take a daily antihistamine such as Claratyne.

Important:  Avoid using any creams not approved by your doctor. If swelling becomes severe or fever occurs, contact the clinic immediately. This treatment is generally well-tolerated.
