the lowdown on pixel™ laser

Our laser scar removal treatments offer an easy way to dramatically reduce the appearance of scars, whether on your face or your body. At ZEST Face + Body, we use fractional, non-ablative skin resurfacing to treat scarring. These laser treatments are the latest, safest, and most popular approach to removing scars of all types on all areas of the body. 

PIXEL™ laser treatment is a type of skin resurfacing procedure that uses a laser to create thousands of microscopic channels or perforations in the skin. This treatment reduces the appearance of scars by 50% to 80%! 

The term "pixel" refers to the fact that the laser creates these channels in a grid-like pattern, with each channel or pixel being surrounded by a zone of untreated skin. 

During the procedure, the laser heats and vaporizes tiny columns of skin tissue, which stimulates the body's natural healing process and promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells. 

This can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. PIXEL™ laser treatment is typically performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands and can treat a wide range of skin concerns. 

The procedure is minimally invasive and generally requires little downtime, with most patients able to resume their normal activities within a few days.

are you a candidate for pixel™ laser treatment?

The ideal candidate for laser scar removal is someone looking to improve their skin's appearance and has realistic expectations about the procedure's outcome. PIXEL™ laser treatments are good for skin types on the Fitzpatrick scale of 1–5. Candidates for PIXEL™ laser treatment should be in good overall health and not have any underlying medical conditions that may affect healing.


what to expect during a pixel™ laser treatment at zest

Before any in-clinic treatment, our treatment providers complete a 360-degree consultation. Before your first treatment, we may start by taking your medical photos. 

During the treatment, the laser will be directed at the treatment area in short pulses. This process triggers the body's natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin fibres, which can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections. 

The laser energy will create tiny "pixels" in the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This allows for faster healing and minimal downtime. During the procedure, we will also use a cooling device to soothe the skin and reduce any discomfort but don't worry - it's like the sensation of a rubber band being snapped against the skin.

how long does pixel™ laser treatment take?

The procedure time will vary based on the treated area, and patients may experience some redness and swelling afterward. However, these side effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days!

pre and post care for pixel™ laser treatment

Preparing your skin and taking care of it after your PIXEL™ laser treatment is key to achieving the best results and ensuring a smooth recovery! 

Before your treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure, and skip the skincare acids like retinoids for about a week beforehand. You'll also want to skip waxing the area or hitting the tanning bed for about 2 weeks before your treatment. 

After your first laser scar removal treatment, your skin may feel sunburned, so cool compresses can become your new best friends. To protect your healing skin, avoiding direct sun exposure is important. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 if you need to be outside.

Staying hydrated is beneficial for your body and crucial for your skin's recovery process. Keep that water bottle within reach and sip away to support your skin's healing journey!

Remember to keep your skin well-hydrated with quality, gentle moisturizer. Ask us for a recommendation on a specific post-treatment product to ensure optimal hydration and nourishment.

While your skin recovers, you may experience some peeling. Resisting the temptation to pick or scratch at the treated areas is a must. Allow your skin to heal naturally and prevent the risk of scarring.

combination treatments

Are you looking to supercharge your PIXEL™ skin resurfacing treatment? Consider complementing it with one of our other fantastic treatments for amplified results! 

One of our favourite pairings is PIXEL™ with Botox. Botox, when coupled with PIXEL™, helps prolong the effects of your skin resurfacing treatment while enhancing the physical texture of your skin. This combination reduces fine lines and wrinkles, producing more durable, long-lasting results.

In laser skin resurfacing and scar removal, the PIXEL™ stands out as an exceptional choice. This advanced device improves various skin conditions while minimizing the downtime and discomfort typically associated with aggressive ablative resurfacing lasers. With the PIXEL™, you can achieve impressive results without compromising comfort and recovery.

In certain cases, it's possible to experience redness and irritation, similar to a sunburn, after a PIXEL™ treatment. There is also a potential risk of pigment change in the treated area. However, it's important to note that these occurrences are relatively rare.

A small minority of patients may encounter temporary bruising and blistering, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Your skin's resilience and the body's natural healing process contribute to a speedy recovery.

Laser scar removal is a journey that often spans multiple sessions to achieve the best results. The key to success is staying consistent and keeping up with your scheduled appointments. By sticking to your treatment plan and following our expert advice, you can make the most of each session and move closer to long-lasting scar reduction.

Just like each person is unique, everyone's skin type and level of skin health vary. As a result, individual experiences and results may differ.

While it's possible to see noticeable results after just one treatment, it's important to understand that the condition of your skin plays a role in the outcome. Sometimes, a series of treatments, typically 3 to 8, may be necessary to achieve the desired results.

Our goal is to work closely with you, assessing your skin's specific needs and customizing a treatment plan tailored to you. This personalized approach ensures that we maximize the potential of each session and optimize your journey toward your desired skin transformation!
