Skin Resurfacing – iPixel Erbium

iPixel Erbium Laser is a new generation of factional skin resurfacing which can improve light scarring, tone, pore size and reduces the appearance of pigmentation.

What is iPixel Erbium laser and how does it work?

The iPixel Erbium is part of our Harmony laser which is FDA approved meaning it is proven to be both safe and effective. iPixel Erbium laser uses short intense bursts of laser to ablate some points of the outer layer of the skin leaving islands of normal tissue in between so that the skin heals quickly. When treating the skin with the iPixel Erbium laser, it heats the surface layers or the skin and evaporates the water to resurface the area. This leaves the skin with tiny areas (pixels) which have been removed while the surrounding skin is intact. The body then produces volumes of collagen and elastin to repair the skin leaving you with new, healthier skin which is smoother and has less lines and wrinkles.

A treatment can last 15-30 minutes and we use anaesthetic cream prior to treatment to make it more comfortable during treatment.

For those with heavier scarring, it would be beneficial to explore the CO2 laser.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Health & Aesthetics, we recommend a course of 3-5 treatments at 4 weekly intervals.

It is essential to use SPF 50 daily following treatment. We will also recommend an after-treatment routine using the ZO products so that you heal quickly which may include Dermalux LED light therapy. It is also important to avoid excess heat and sun exposure after treatment.

Preparing the skin with ZO Skin Health is essential prior to treatment with a laser as this will dramatically reduce the chance of hyper-pigmentation and also heal quickly.

Chemical Peels are fantastic to further rejuvenate and improve the texture and tone of the skin.
