The cosmetic and aesthetic benefits of some laser technologies drew many plastic surgeons in Los Angeles into the field of laser surgery for the first time, and it was a powerful tool in the development of comprehensive skin care programs to provide preoperative preparation and postoperative management of patients undergoing laser skin resurfacing.
Although chemical peeling of the skin can often achieve some rejuvenating results at significantly lower cost, the public’s interest in high-tech therapy created a high demand for new laser technologies, especially due their marvelous effects on wrinkling and skin tightening. Pixel laser resurfacing procedures are amongst the newest technologies that have unparalleled skin rejuvenation effects.
Much of the immediate effect of pixel laser resurfacing procedures is more likely a result of the water evaporation caused by the laser, and the ultimate effect is similar to the healing response to chemical peeling, but with a more pronounced outcome. Nonetheless, an important advantage of pixel laser resurfacing is that the treatment is almost painless and blood free, because the heat energy of the laser seals the blood vessels of the skin. Moreover, with pixel laser resurfacing procedures, the risk of infection is markedly lowered; hence, the outcome is more favorable than other techniques.
The pixel laser surfacing technology can yield complete skin rejuvenation through its ant-wrinkle skin tightening effects. The laser beam has a stimulatory effect on collagen fiber synthesis. When the percentage of collagen fibers in the skin increases, the elasticity of the skin improves; thus, tightening of the skin and amelioration of wrinkles supervenes. Moreover, this laser technology has been proven to have beneficial effects on skin pigmentation related to aging. Pixel laser is safe for use on every man and woman. Apart from other conventional laser technologies, pixel laser can be used safely on the skin of the face, neck, chest, arms and hands. The risk of infection is negligible as compared to other laser technologies. An individual can receive a treatment session and be able to return home immediately without even needing an analgesic.
Pixel laser skin resurfacing treatment sessions should be performed 3 times per week for a minimum of 3 weeks for effect to be noticed.
