iPixel

Your consultation will determine your suitability for treatment.

The nurse will apply a numbing cream to minimise discomfort during treatment. We will configure the depth depending on the area and concern, and the device will make a few passes over your skin, delivering bursts of energy.

After the iPixel treatment, you may notice square formations with tiny pinprick dots on the skin. The nurse will apply a topical serum to minimise these marks.

The treatment is not suitable for all skin types, including individuals with very dark skin tones. We will determine your suitability during your consultation.

Patients will see an improvement in the collagen growth of the skin for at least three months following the sessions.

The fractional ablative laser treatment delivers precise beams of energy in a pixel-size formation to target specific cells. The surrounding cells remain intact, which speeds up healing. The heat from the energy destroys the injured or damaged cells and stimulates collagen production to remodel and fill in the area with new healthy cells.

The condition and texture of your skin will continue to improve with each treatment you have, and the results are long-lasting. We recommend regular treatments to maintain results in addition to following a prescriptive skincare regime and treatment programme as advised by your practitioner.

Unlike other harsh peels or other traditional ablative lasers, the iPixel treatment has virtually no side effects or downtime.

Scabbing will occur following the treatment. After around three days post-treatment, you may notice track marks or little square scabs on the skin. It’s important not to pick these scabs off, but to let them fall off naturally.

Most patients require 4-8 sessions. One session every 4-6 weeks depending on the severity of the skin concern.

We can apply a topical numbing cream before the treatment to minimise discomfort. Though pain is subjective, most patients do not experience pain. Some describe the treatment itself as a pricking sensation. A more vigorous treatment may be more uncomfortable.

Once the treatment is complete, the skin will feel very hot, and some compare to the feeling of sunburn.

Numbing cream is applied for 20 minutes, followed by the treatment, which takes approximately 30 minutes.
