Would pixel rejuvenation affect my facial hair?

Question

Thinking on getting pixel,my question is will pixel effect a mans facial hair? Like could it cause it not to grow back or cause bald spots

Gary Motykie, MD · Answer

No, the pixel laser is not known to affect facial hair
growth.  However if you do have facial hair at the time of treatment,
these could get singed and fall out, but will eventually grow back.  The
hair blub is located within the deepest layers of the skin where the laser does
not penetrate.

Pixel does not affect the hair follicles. It may temporarily singe the hair, but will not permanently damage the hair.

Hi Tj,Good question - fortunately, the 2940nm wavelength on the Pixel does not affect hair significantly. That wavelength targets water in the skin, and only penetrates into the mid-dermis. The hair follicles sit in the deep dermis / fat and won't be injured by the laser. Of course, any hair on the area does need to be removed prior to treatment, as it will interfere with the laser's normal interaction with the skin. So in short, you're good.Hope that helps!PB
