Pixel® Laser Resurfacing

Improve Skin Texture and Tone with Pixel Laser Resurfacing in Norfolk, VA

Pixel® Laser Resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, and sun damage for a smoother, more youthful complexion. Using fractional laser technology, Pixel creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote natural skin renewal.

Treatments are customized to your skin concerns and may involve minimal downtime depending on the intensity of the treatment. As the skin heals and new collagen forms, results develop gradually, revealing improved texture, tone, and overall skin quality.

Pixel® Laser Resurfacing FAQs

Pixel® Laser Resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. This fractional laser treatment helps renew the skin’s surface for a smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion.

Pixel® Laser Resurfacing uses fractional laser technology to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and increasing collagen production. As the skin repairs itself, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in tone and texture.

During your appointment, your provider will evaluate your skin and create a customized treatment plan based on your concerns and goals. The treatment area is cleansed, numbing cream may be applied for comfort, and the Pixel® laser is used to deliver targeted energy to the skin. Treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area being treated.

Initial improvements may appear as the skin begins healing, with continued results developing over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases. Optimal results are typically seen as the skin continues to renew and improve.

Downtime varies depending on the intensity of treatment. Redness, swelling, sensitivity, and peeling or flaking are common as the skin heals. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days while following their provider’s aftercare instructions.
