PIXELThe growing market for cosmetic procedures demands safe and effective treatment modalities with little or no downtime. Traditional laser procedures for skin resurfacing and
wrinkle reduction can be divided into ablative
(provoking epidermal injury) and non-ablative (non-specific dermal bulk heating).
Many ablative and non-ablative lasers are available. With ablative (CO2 or Er:YAG) lasers, a pass of energy vaporizes a thin layer of the skin and leaves a layer of coagulated cells. When healing is complete, the skin is smoother and tighter due to shrinkage of dermal collagen. These lasers have been considered the gold standard for ablative skin resurfacing and wrinkle reduction but the risk of complications is high, considerable discomfort can be involved and recovery time can be long(up to 4-6 weeks). Non-ablative lasers also improve the appearance of the skin, but without epidermal damage by gentle dermal heating. There is less discomfort and downtime but lower efficacy with non-ablative lasers.
In Pixel 2940nm technology the laser beam passes through a micro-lens that divides the beam into microbeams arranged in either a 7x7 or 9x9 patterns. The microbeams penetrate the skin and create microscopic injured zones (pixels, similar to the multiple tiny squares of the digital photograph). When applied to the skin, these pixels encourage the growth of the new cells and stimulate epidermal re-epithelialization to accelerate wound healing. |
The Pixel 2940nm laser device is a safe and effective modality for minimally ablative skin resurfacing which can be used for the treatment wrinkles(rhytids), skin laxity,
scars (including acne scars) and other skin irregularities such as melasma. The system is well suited to photorejuvenation of the face, chest and hands- areas difficult to treat with
non-invasive procedures and hazardous to treat with invasive procedures. The Pixel procedure is quick, relatively painless, and well tolerated, and may be combined with other therapies such as photorejuvenation and Microdermabrasion. |
