Reveal Smoother, Younger-Looking Skin with Pixel Pro
What is Pixel Pro Skin Resurfacing?
Pixel Pro is a fractional laser treatment that creates microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. This boosts collagen production and replaces damaged skin with new, healthy tissue—improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
Unlike traditional ablative lasers, Pixel Pro offers remarkable skin rejuvenation with faster healing and less discomfort while delivering dramatic anti-aging and resurfacing results.

Medical Restrictions & Contraindications
Who is NOT a Good Candidate?
🚫 Very dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick V-VI) – While some laser resurfacing options exist for darker skin, Pixel Pro may carry a higher risk of hyperpigmentation.
🚫 Active acne or skin infections – Open wounds or active breakouts should heal before treatment.
🚫 Recent sun exposure or tanning – Increases risk of burns, hyperpigmentation, or irritation.
🚫 Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals – Laser treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or while nursing.
🚫 Keloid-prone individuals – Those with a history of keloid scarring should consult their provider.
⚠️ Pixel Pro may not be suitable if you have:
- Active skin infections, eczema, or psoriasis in the treatment area
- Autoimmune disorders (such as lupus or vitiligo) that may react poorly to laser treatment
- Blood disorders or clotting issues that increase risk of bruising
- A history of skin cancer in the treatment area
- Use of Accutane (isotretinoin) in the past 6 months – Can make skin highly sensitive to laser treatments
- Recent cosmetic treatments (Botox, fillers, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion) – Should be spaced at least 2-4 weeks apart
What to Expect During & After Treatment
During Treatment:
As the Pixel Pro laser creates micro-channels in the skin, you may experience a warm, prickling sensation. To enhance comfort, a numbing cream may be applied beforehand. The session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
After Treatment:
Immediately after your session, your skin may appear red, feel tight, and experience mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. Over the next 3 to 7 days, your skin will naturally exfoliate and renew, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.
The intensity of redness and the healing process will vary based on the aggressiveness of the treatment. A milder session may result in minimal redness and quicker recovery, while a more intensive treatment can lead to deeper rejuvenation but a longer healing period. Your provider will tailor the treatment to your goals and tolerance level, ensuring optimal results.
Post-Treatment Care
Immediately After Treatment (First 24-48 Hours)
- Redness & Warmth: Your skin may feel warm, tight, and look red, similar to a moderate sunburn. This is normal and can last between 24 to 72 hours, depending on the intensity of your treatment.
- Swelling: Some clients experience mild swelling, particularly around the eyes. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours.
- Gentle Cooling: You may use a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth to soothe the skin. Avoid applying ice directly to the treated area.
- Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated by applying a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer as needed. A hyaluronic acid-based serum can also help maintain hydration.
- Avoid Touching Your Face: Do not scratch, rub, or pick at your skin. Allow it to heal naturally.
- Skip Makeup & Harsh Products: Avoid makeup, exfoliants, acids (AHA/BHA), retinol, and active skincare ingredients for at least 5-7 days.
Days 2-7: Healing & Exfoliation
- Peeling & Flaking: Your skin will start to shed and exfoliate naturally between days 3-7. Do NOT pick or force exfoliation—let it slough off on its own.
- Moisturize Frequently: Your skin may feel dry and tight, so apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer multiple times a day.
- Stay Cool & Avoid Sweating: Heat and sweat can irritate the skin. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and intense workouts for at least 5-7 days.
- Sun Protection is a MUST: UV exposure can cause hyperpigmentation on healing skin. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily and reapply every 2 hours if outdoors. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks.
Weeks 2-4: Skin Renewal & Collagen Production
- Skin Sensitivity Continues: Your skin may still feel sensitive, especially to sunlight and strong skincare products. Continue using SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible.
- Gradually Reintroduce Skincare: After 7-10 days, you can slowly reintroduce gentle exfoliants and active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and AHAs/BHAs if tolerated.
- Results Become Noticeable: As collagen production increases, your skin will continue to improve in texture, tone, and elasticity over the next 4-6 weeks.
Long-Term Care & Maintaining Results
- Hydration & Nutrition: Drink plenty of water and eat a skin-healthy diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
- Consistent Skincare Routine: Maintain results by using hydrating, nourishing products and regular sun protection.
- Regular Treatments for Best Results: For optimal improvement, a series of treatments is typically recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on your skin goals.
