Skin Resurfacing – The Gold Standard
• CO2 and Erbium remain the gold
standard technologies for skin
resurfacing. The pain, downtime and
post operation side effect caused
major decline in patient demand and
a shift into none ablative procedures
until the arrival of the Pixel

Pixel provides remarkable clinical
results:
• Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
• Causes immediate skin tightening
• Noticeably improves skin tone and
texture
• Restores the skin to a healthy state
What is Fractional Ablative
Skin Resurfacing?
• From “Bulk Ablation” to “Localized Ablation”
– Treat small "fraction" of skin
– Leave intact, undamaged skin around each treated area to act
as a reservoir for rapid healing
– Re-epitheliazation of treatment zones occurs rapidly, significant
reduction in risk of infection
• Pixel 2940nm laser treats about 20% of the skin
• Each pixel spot within the spot size receives optimal
energy – more effective treatment
Pixel 2940nm Treatment
How the Pixel works
• During the Pixel fractional treatment,
only a portion of the skin’s surface is
treated by the laser, leaving small
“bridges” of untouched skin. This
technique makes the healing process
much quicker and enables patients to
get back to their normal life styles
sooner

The Effect of Multiple Passes
First Pass
20% ablation
30% thermal
Second Pass
~30% ablation
~45% thermal
Third Pass
~40% ablation
~60% thermal
Fourth Pass
~50% ablation
~75% thermal
The first Pixel pass is 20% ablative and 30% thermal
Each subsequent pass increases ablative by ~10% and
increases thermal by ~15%
