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.
