Fractional Skin Resurfacing

How does it work?

Unlike traditional ablative laser resurfacing, which burns the outer layer of skin, this new generation of treatment does minimal damage to the outer skin layer and thus minimises redness and downtime. The ablative element of the laser happens at a deep-skin layer and uses heat to stimulate collagen production. This triggers the body's natural healing process to stimulate growth of new healthy skin tissue.

• Acne / facial scarring
• Fine lines and wrinkles

Who is a candidate for i-Pixel Treatment?

If you are concerned with aged, sun-damaged, pigmented or acne-scared skin, or just looking for complete skin rejuvenation, then this treatment is a great option for you.

It is suitable for both men and women and can be used on the face, neck, chest and hands.

Is there any downtime?

It is normal for several hours after treatment that the skin will feel tight and appear red with possible swelling. This usually will have disappeared within 2 days leaving some tiny dots on the skin which can last for up to 7 days. Most people are able to return to work the day after treatment.

Does it hurt?

The procedure is usually very well tolerated with little or no discomfort. Afterwards the skin can feel warm, almost like sunburn.

It is essential to use SPF 50 every day following treatment, alongside a moisturiser. Avoiding excess heat and sun exposure is also essential; however, your qualified practitioner will go through pre- and post-care with you at your first consultation.
