The Pixel 2940 Erbium Laser is a skin resurfacing laser that can dramatically improve your skin’s appearance. During each Pixel treatment, thousands of microscopic spots known as “pixels" are created and about 5 treatments are needed to get full effect.

Since only about 20% of the surface area is affected during each treatment, this technology combines the benefits of the proven results ablative lasers, i.e. no pain or minimal pain and discomfort is noted.

Pixel fractional resurfacing is a safe and effective way to treat sun damage, skin discoloration, acne scars, rough texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and skin laxity on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands with essentially no downtime. It does not treat spider veins, aka telangiectasias or thread veins.
