What is Pixel Laser Treatment?
Pixel is a type of fractional ablative laser used for skin resurfacing, designed to combat signs of aging. The laser creates micro-injuries in the skin, which promotes collagen production and leads to tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. As a fractional treatment, the Pixel laser is both ablative (causing peeling) and effective for addressing concerns like wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and skin laxity. This treatment also helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Who is a Candidate for Pixel Laser?
Pixel laser resurfacing is ideal for those looking to improve the visible signs of aging that go beyond surface-level issues like age spots. This treatment works by tightening the skin and shedding the outermost layers, providing a dual action of exfoliation and collagen stimulation for rejuvenated skin. It’s one of the most potent laser treatments available and is suitable for all skin types. Ideal candidates typically have signs of aging, such as:
- Pre-cancerous growths or areas needing rejuvenation
- Leathery or sun-damaged skin
- Multiple deep wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture or hyperpigmentation

The Pixel Laser Procedure
Before beginning treatment, the skin will be cleansed thoroughly to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. The Pixel laser uses fractional ablative technology to create micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production and initiating the skin’s natural healing process. The procedure usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, and discomfort similar to a sunburn. Most patients can return to normal activities after a few days, with visible improvements as the skin heals.

Results from Pixel Laser Treatment
The Pixel laser combines two powerful treatment methods for impressive results. After treatment, some redness, swelling, and peeling may occur, but these typically subside in a few days. Patients should avoid sun exposure during the recovery period. Depending on the depth of treatment, Dr. Sweat may advise covering the area with petroleum jelly or a bandage. As the skin heals, it will reveal younger, fresher-looking skin. While the Pixel laser can’t stop the aging process, it can significantly reverse visible signs of aging. Continued skin protection and care are essential for maintaining results.
