How Pixel Works

Pixel is a laser treatment that creates small microscopic wounds within the skin.

These injuries stimulate your body’s natural ability to create new collagen production which tightens and smoothes the skin’s surface. Virtually any area of the body can be treated with Pixel. The most common areas are face, neck, and décolletage. Scars and stretch marks can also be treated with Pixel.
