Fractionated Pixel CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing
Advanced Skin Renewal with Precision and Power
Fractionated Pixel CO₂ laser skin resurfacing is a cutting-edge treatment designed to dramatically improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by stimulating natural collagen production and promoting deep skin regeneration. It is a gold-standard procedure for those seeking effective results in the treatment of wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and skin laxity with minimal downtime compared to traditional CO₂ lasers.
CO2 Laser
What Is Fractionated CO2 Laser?
The Pixel CO₂ laser uses a fractionated technology that delivers microscopic columns of laser energy into the skin, creating thousands of tiny thermal micro-injuries. These controlled injuries trigger the body's natural healing process while leaving surrounding tissue intact, allowing for faster healing and collagen remodeling.
The treatment penetrates deep into the dermis, targeting damaged skin while encouraging new, healthy tissue to form. As a result, skin becomes smoother, tighter, and more youthful over time.
Benefits of Fractionated Pixel CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
Fractionated Pixel CO₂ laser resurfacing offers comprehensive skin improvement benefits:
Reduces fine lines and deep wrinkles
Improves acne and surgical scars
Smooths uneven skin texture
Tightens and lifts sagging skin
Minimizes enlarged pores
Corrects sun damage and hyperpigmentation
Stimulates long-term collagen production
What to Expect
A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to ensure comfort. Most patients experience a warm sensation during the procedure. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, downtime may range from 3 to 7 days, with redness and mild flaking as the skin heals and rejuvenates.
Results are both immediate and progressive. Within weeks, you'll notice a brighter, smoother complexion. Full collagen remodeling can take up to 3 to 6 months, with continued improvements over time.
Is It Right for You?
Fractionated Pixel CO₂ laser resurfacing is ideal for individuals with moderate to severe skin aging or scarring who desire noticeable improvement without undergoing surgery. It is suitable for most skin types but requires a professional consultation to assess individual candidacy and pre-treatment preparation, especially for those with darker skin tones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional CO₂ lasers treat the entire surface of the skin, resulting in longer downtime and more discomfort. Fractional Pixel CO₂ laser, on the other hand, treats only a portion (or "fraction") of the skin at a time, creating microscopic channels while leaving surrounding tissue untouched. This allows for faster healing and fewer side effects, with comparable results over a series of treatments.
Many clients see significant improvement after just one session. However, depending on your skin condition and goals, a series of 1 to 3 treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.
A topical anesthetic is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, prickly feeling. After treatment, the skin may feel sunburned for a few hours, followed by mild redness, swelling, or flaking over the next few days.
Downtime varies depending on the intensity of the treatment. Most people experience redness, mild swelling, and flaking for about 3–7 days. You can typically return to non-strenuous activities within 24–48 hours.
Initial improvements in skin tone and texture can often be seen within 7–10 days. Deeper changes, such as collagen rebuilding and reduction of wrinkles or scars, become more noticeable over the next 1–3 months.
While fractional technology makes it safer than traditional resurfacing lasers, caution must be taken with darker skin tones due to a higher risk of hyperpigmentation. A consultation and possibly pre-treatment with topical agents may be required for Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI.
Yes. Fractionated Pixel CO₂ is highly effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars by resurfacing damaged tissue and stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin.
Avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and exfoliating treatments for at least 7 days prior. You may be advised to use a pigment-blocking cream or antiviral medication if necessary. A pre-treatment consultation is essential to tailor the protocol to your skin type.
Temporary redness, swelling, and flaking are common. Less commonly, some individuals may experience changes in pigmentation or prolonged healing. Strict sun protection is essential post-treatment to avoid complications.
Results are long-lasting, especially with proper skincare and sun protection. Many clients maintain results for years with occasional maintenance treatments.
