CO2 + Pixel Fractionated Laser Skin Resurfacing
CO2 + Pixel Fractionated Laser Skin Resurfacing
Resurfacing + Collagen Remodelling
Ablative laser treatments, such as CO₂ (Secret Pro) and Er:YAG (Pixel by Harmony XL), use precisely targeted bursts of laser energy to resurface the skin by removing its outermost layers in a controlled, medical-grade process. This advanced technique stimulates collagen regeneration, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and dramatically improves skin texture and tone.
For best results, multiple sessions are typically required. All sales are final. We strongly recommend booking a complimentary consultation prior to purchase to ensure the treatment is right for you and to create a personalized plan.
CO₂ laser resurfacing uses precise, fractionated carbon dioxide laser energy to remove damaged skin layers while stimulating deep collagen remodeling. It delivers intensive results for those with significant skin concerns.
Key Features:
Deep skin resurfacing
More downtime (typically 5–10 days)
Dramatic improvement in wrinkles, texture, and scars
Best For:
Deep wrinkles, acne or surgical scars, significant sun damage, aging skin, and clients seeking transformative, one-time treatments.
Pixel Er:YAG is a fractional ablative laser that provides controlled skin resurfacing with a gentler touch than CO₂. It targets the upper layers of the skin to improve texture, tone, and pigmentation, making it ideal for clients who want visible results without the extended recovery time.
Key Features:
Milder resurfacing effect
Shorter downtime (3–5 days)
Improves fine lines, pores, mild scarring, and pigmentation
Best For:
Early signs of aging, mild texture issues, enlarged pores, uneven tone, or clients wanting rejuvenation with less downtime.
Before Your Treatment
✔ Schedule with Recovery in Mind:
CO2 and Pixel lasers require downtime. Expect at least 5–10 days of visible healing (redness, peeling, and sensitivity). Plan your treatment when you have no major events or sun exposure planned
✔ Pre-Treatment Skin Prep :
Avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, and waxing for at least 2 weeks before your treatment
Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh products at least 5–7 days before
Antiviral medication may be needed if you're prone to cold sores (e.g. herpes simplex virus)
✔ Come to Your Appointment with:
Clean, makeup-free skin
A list of current skincare products and medications
Realistic goals, your provider will walk you through what’s achievable
During Your Treatment
✔ What to Expect:
The treatment may feel warm or prickly—numbing cream is typically applied beforehand.
Depending on the settings used, treatments can be mildly ablative to fully ablative (stronger).
✔ Post-Treatment Appearance:
Expect redness, swelling, and a sunburned sensation right after.
Peeling or scabbing is normal and typically begins around day 3–5.
Aftercare and Recovery
✔ Follow Your Provider’s Instructions Carefully:
Use only gentle, hydrating, and healing products (usually recommend)
Keep your skin moisturized and protected—don’t let it dry out
Absolutely no picking or peeling.
Avoid sun exposure for several weeks and use broad-spectrum SPF daily
✔ Healing Timeline (Typical):
Days 1–3: Redness, swelling, warmth
Days 4–7: Peeling or flaking begins
Days 8–10: Skin appears pink and may be sensitive but mostly healed
Multiple sessions of the procedure can cumulatively brighten and even out skin tone, smooth texture, and provide overall skin rejuvenation. Benefits of multiple sessions include the improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, repair of sun-damaged skin, reduction of age spots, blemishes, acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation (such as dark patches or uneven pigmentation), and various other skin irregularities
