“7 pixel treatments so far...”
Pixel laser: Worth it
Pain: Mild
Over the past year I have had a total of 7 pixels done. My main concern was acne pitting on my cheeks. The scars are much shallower, possibly 50-70% improved. The overall texture is also much finer, with my pores less noticeable.
This is not an overnight treatment, one time thing. Filling in of scars occurs over months, and with repeated treatments. Everyone heals at a different rate. Therefore, this should not be done by those that expect instant results for scarring. Although texture improvement was seen immediately.
Initial healing takes about 3-5 days for me depending on the level of treatment (they started low). You will look like you walked in to a dirty screen door. That is just the pattern of the pixel laser. While the process is long, I would never go back to the skin I used to have. BTW, you can have treatments more often than I did, I just had to squeeze it in to my very full schedule.

I have an appointment at Posh Medical to get this done. I'm so glad you wrote your review and I saw it.

i am 48 yrs old had 3 pixels for acne and althought skin texture is better,more DEWY looking i have yet to see scar reduction or large pores diminish.my doctor said results take at least 6 months for collagen to fill in scars,and recommends i have 3 more.he is a family member doing it at cost sl he has no reason to mislead me. no pain at all and 1 day down time for peeling.i am waiting to see if its worth it,but the ultraviolet pictures show tremendous reduction in sun damage so at least there is that.we will see.
