What is i-Pixel laser skin resurfacing?

i-Pixel is a form of skin resurfacing using erbium laser. It is the new generation version of Fraxel laser - which gave similar results but with longer downtime.

Unlike traditional ablative laser resurfacing for skin resurfacing such as fraxel, which burns the outer layer of the skin, the i-Pixel laser skin resurfacingtreatment does minimal damage to the outer skin layer and thus minimises redness and downtime.

The ablative element of the laser happens at a deep-skin layer and uses heat to stimulate collagen production. This triggers the body's natural healing process to stimulate growth of new healthy skin tissue.

 

What can i-Pixel laser resurfacing treat?

  • Signs of ageing
  • Acne / facial scarring
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Dull, uneven skin tone
  • Pigmentation - hyperpigmentation treatment
  • Enlarged pores/ large pores treatment
  • Sun damage
  • Rough skin texture
  • i-Pixel can also be used on the body to treat scarring or stretch marks.

If you’re concerned with aged, sun-damaged or acne-scarred skin – or if you’re just looking for complete skin rejuvenation or want to remove stretchmarks or surgical scars on the body – then this laser resurfacing treatment for skin resurfacing is a great option for you.

To ensure the best results and avoid irritation, please refrain from using any active ingredients for 5 days before and after your treatments. Active ingredients include benzoyl peroxide, retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid and vitamin C serum. We recommend using only a gentle cleanser and a gentle moisturiser during this period. We highly recommend using a medical grade SPF 50 following your treatment.

i-Pixel laser resurfacing reviews

Here’s what our clients have to say…
I had acne during my teens and early 20’s which unfortunately left me with scarring on both cheeks, it was affecting my confidence and I was struggling to cover it with makeup as it was like indents in my face. I had 5, i-pixel laser sessions, one per month and the results are excellent. I now feel so much more confident.

Jessica, 30
My son got married last month and I came to Dr Leah Clinic around 7 or 8 months before that to see what they could do to make me look a bit better for the wedding, I knew I needed to improve my skin as I have done a lot of sun bathing through the years so had quite deep lines and sun spots on my skin. I used some products Dr Leah put me on an...

Linda , 69
Due to a work accident I had a scar on my face which I was always conscious of, I finally went ahead and had to treated with laser and I wish I had have done it years ago.

More about i-Pixel

What is the recovery time after laser resurfacing treatment?

This depends on the laser. With our laser most people are able to return to work the day after treatment. For the first 24 hours after treatment, it is normal for the skin to feel tight and look red with some swelling. This usually disappears within 2 days, leaving some tiny dots on the skin which can last up to 7 days, but these won’t be noticeable to other people.

Does laser skin resurfacing hurt?

Our laser skin resurfacing procedure is usually very well tolerated, with little or no discomfort. The skin may feel warm, almost like sunburn, directly after treatment.

What products do I need before or after i-Pixel treatment?

Before treatment if you have a dry or very damaged skin it may be required that you use medical skincare to ensure your skin is healthy enough to have the treatment– your practitioner will be able to advise you on this during your initial consultation.

There is a cream Dr Leah Clinics can provide you with which will turn over the skin cells more and make your i-Pixel laser skin resurfacing result more dramatic – your practitioner will be able to advise you on this during your initial laser consultation.

It is essential to use SPF 50 sunscreen every day following treatment, alongside a moisturiser. Avoiding excess heat and sun exposure is also essential. Your qualified practitioner will go through full pre- and post-care with you fully at your first consultation and advise which products you need.

What should I do before my laser resurfacing treatment?

• Clients on retinol products, glycolic acid or other AHA containing products or hydroquinone containing products should stop them 3 days before having laser

• You will need to make sure you do not have a tan on your face so avoid sunbathing the face for 14 days before your laser treatment and no sunbed use for 14 days before

• No fake cannot be on the face on the day you have laser so avoid self-tanning products on the face for 7 days before treatment

What is the aftercare for resurfacing laser treatment?

• Immediately after treatment, there may be redness and swelling at the treatment area (this can feel like mild sunburn).

• The application of Sudo creme is recommended and can be done at home that evening.

• Avoid sun exposure to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation or darker pigmentation. SPF 50 sunscreen is a MUST.

• Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin as this may darken any areas of pigmentation.

• Avoid hot baths, exercise and heat treatments, and treat the skin gently – as if you had sunburn – for the first 24 hours.

How many laser resurfacing treatments will I need?

Normally between 3 and 6 depending on the reason you are having treatment.

Can I go on sunshine holiday during my treatment?

Yes, but you need to wear factor 50 SPF on the treated area by i-Pixel if you have had treatment within the past 2 months. We advise keeping the area out of the sun as much as possible and you will need to wait 2-4 weeks after returning from holiday/ being in the sun , depending on if you get any sunburn or tan while away or if you have a skin type that tans well.

Who is this treatment not suitable for?

• Not suitable for Asian or black skins as will cause pigmentation. Clients with a very dry and sensitive skin may need to use products to fortify the skin barrier prior to treatment – your aesthetic skin therapist will be able to advise you on this on the day of your consultation and test patch.

• Any clients who have a reaction to the test patch (burn, blister or pigmentation) will not be able to have this treatment.

• Cannot be performed on anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Cannot be performed on anyone who has had a suntan on the skin or burn on the skin within 14 days of treatment.

• Cannot be performed on anyone on photosensitising medication such as lymecycline or doxycycline.

• Not suitable if you have active acne – we will need to prescribe you skincare to treat your breakouts first.

• Clients on retinol products, glycolic acid or other AHA containing products or hydroquinone containing products should stop them 3 days before having laser.
