If you are concerned about a loss of skin tone after Pixel, you may consider using topical retinoids + Melarase creams and opting for a combination approach of Ematrix and fractional co2 to tighten the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Local wound care is important at this stage to minimize complications. Based on the depth of the treatment, we would recommend topical skin lighteners such as Melarase creams after treatment to reduce the risk of pigmentation of the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Optimal wound care is important after Pixel laser. In our office, we would recommend a combination of Elevase cream with ceramides + a short term use of a light cortisone cream to reduce inflammation and redness. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
