“I tried pixel”
Pixel laser: Undecided
Cost: $600
Pain: Severe
Pain: Severe
Pixel laser satisfaction: Very good
I recommend my Pixel laser provider: Name not provided
Why: Very professional. Years of practice.
I tried Pixel 3 days ago. My skin ws not awful, but I had some scars from an accident and the texture ws not what I wanted (I am very close to 40).
The procedure was painful...like someone dropping hot glue on my face. It only lasted about 20 -30 minutes. I would recommend taking some pain meds before and after treatment.
I have not begun peeling yet, but I can tell that my skin will be better. I know about 6 people who have used the Pixel treatments...they all have beautiful skin.
I'll update in a few days and let you know what I think of the outcome.

Today is day 4 after the Pixel treatment. I kept the heavy ointment on my face Thursday - Saturday. Sunday I wore makeup, but my face was very dry...and looked dry. Today (Monday) I wore makeup to work (powder foundation) and again my face is dry, but not uncomfortable. I am peeling, or flaking would be more accurate. It does seem as if the "new" skin is better. I let you know....

Are there two types of lasers, Pixel and Pixel Perfect?

From what I understand and have researched there is no difference. Pixel Perfect may be a trade or brand name, but it seems to be the same as just Pixel. I read the description and could find no differences. I hope that helps.
