What Is iPIXEL Laser?
iPixel Laser is a state-of-the-art procedure used for fractional skin resurfacing. It is a safe and effective method of significantly improving the skin’s appearance, with long-lasting results and minimal discomfort. It reduces the aging signs and enhances skin tone and texture. The treatment is also suitable for reducing acne and other scars on the skin.
The treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing processes and, as a result, achieves collagen production and growth of healthy tissue. iPixel Laser treatment is FDA-approved for fractional skin resurfacing, and its technology has been greatly improved compared to traditional laser treatments. It achieves glowing, healthy, and youthful-looking skin.
How Does It Work?
iPixel laser treatment is unique because it combines the results of the ablative laser technique with the patient’s comfort and delicacy of the non-ablative technique.
During the treatment, the beams of the pixel laser are split up into more beams that can make a 7×7 or 9×9 pattern. The beams go through the epidermis and the upper dermis and create pixels or microscopic heat zones. How deeply the beams penetrate depends on the number of pulses.
In the 7×7 pattern, the energy is greater and goes deeper into the skin, which makes it effective when treating wrinkles and acne scars. In the 9×9 pattern, the energy is lower, and it is used for gentle peeling of melasma, for example.
In both patterns, each treatment point receives more fluency compared to the traditional laser therapy. This is what makes this treatment an outstanding skin resurfacing procedure. The surrounding skin is unharmed, and it triggers fast wound healing and growth of new skin cells. This results in a rejuvenated skin appearance and smoother skin.
The patient feels slight discomfort because the depth of penetration is minimal. As this laser treatment affects only a fraction of the targeted area, it can be safely performed on sensitive areas like the lower and upper eyelids, neck, décolletage, hands, and arms.
What Can iPIXEL Address?
iPixel Laser therapy can be used to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and other scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Large pores
- Photodamage
- Pigmentation
- Stretch marks
- Skin laxity
Who Is It For?
Anyone who wishes to improve uneven skin texture or refresh a dull skin tone can greatly benefit from this treatment. Also, fractional skin resurfacing is a good treatment solution for patients who want to get skin rejuvenation and achieve youthful-looking and glowing skin. The treatment is beneficial for both men and women who are concerned with the signs of aging and photodamage.
iPixel laser has many benefits
Patients with very dark skin should avoid this laser therapy. Also, if patients have active acne, viral or bacterial infections, or excessively sagging skin, they are not good candidates for this treatment. Also, if patients are sensitive to keloid scarring, they should consider a different treatment. The treatment is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding ladies, patients who have fresh tan or take photosensitive medications.
What Does the Procedure Look Like?
Before the treatment starts, the patient’s face is thoroughly cleaned, and the patient is given special protective eyewear. Then the patient’s targeted skin area is numbed with a topical cream.
The therapist places the applicator on the targeted area and emits a short, powerful burst of energy onto the surface of the patient’s skin. The therapist moves the applicator over the patient’s treated area bit by bit, but without overlapping. The laser creates micro-wounds or pixels and removes them in a precise way. The tissue that surrounds the pixels stays unharmed. Each time the laser emits the energy, a proper grid of pixels is created. As iPixel is a fractional ablative laser, it removes the outermost layer of the skin, or the epidermis, and heats the underlying layer, or the dermis. Water molecules mostly absorb the laser beams, so they don’t affect the blood supply.
The ablative part of the laser is done deep in the skin, and the heat stimulates the production of collagen. The body’s natural healing processes start to stimulate the growth of healthy skin tissue that will make the skin healthy, tight, and smooth again. The treatment session can last between 10 and 30 minutes, but it all depends on how large the treated area is.
iPIXEL Laser Downtime and Side Effects
Since the iPixel laser treatment is performed very precisely, there are fewer side effects than when ablative resurfacing lasers are used. The targeted area will be swollen and red for the first day or two. The patient may also feel stinging, itching, and dryness. The patient’s skin will start to form crusts and peel after 3 to 4 days post-treatment. This will be noticed while cleansing the skin.
After 7 to 14 days, the skin should be completely healed. Usually, the patient may apply light mineral makeup 3 to 4 days after the treatment. The patient can apply a cold pack after the procedure to ease the discomfort. He/she should avoid sun exposure for 14 days, tanning beds included. This will prevent the risk of hyperpigmentation or darker pigmentation. If the patient needs to spend time outdoors/they should wear a high SPF.
The patient must keep the skin moisturized during the healing period. The therapist will recommend which products are the best for this purpose. Also, the patient should refrain from strenuous exercise, sauna, hot baths, and other heat treatments for at least 2 days after the treatment. It is important not to scratch, rub, or pick the skin on the treated areas.
