ERBIUM PIXEL RESURFACING

Skin resurfacing, the safe way. Acne scars and problematic skin texture don't stand a chance. The treatment significantly improves overall skin tone, elasticity and texture, reducing superficial pigmentation and pore size. The Pixel Laser is a fractional ablative laser that creates an ablative thermal channel or micro-injury that stimulates healing, collagen remodeling and restoration of the skin without disrupting the surrounding tissue. This treatment can also be combined with ClearLift or Dye-VL for optimal results.
