PIXEL PERFECT® | SKIN RESURFACING

CO2 LASER RESURFACING

Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery offers fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing, which is the gold standard that all skin rejuvenation is measured by. This includes all chemical peels, erbium lasers, YAG laser and all future technologies. The most common reason that the CO2 laser has recently fallen out of favor with plastic surgeons is because of the extensive patient down-time. The innovative engineers at Alma developed a CO2 laser that delivers the strength and results of the previous laser with one fifth the post-op down time.

HOW DOES LASER SKIN RESURFACING WORK?

Pixel Perfect® uses beams of light. At Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Diamantis and plastic surgeons use the laser to send short, concentrated, pulsating beams of light at irregular skin texture. This removes unwanted, damaged skin in a very precise manner, one layer at a time.

A laser skin resurfacing targeted approach means that there are less problems with hypopigmentation, or a lightening of skin.

For our laser skin resurfacing procedure, laser beams used in laser resurfacing at Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery will remove your outer layer of skin, called the epidermis. It simultaneously heats the underlying skin, called the dermis. This actually works to stimulate growth of new collagen fibers. As the treated area heals, the new skin that forms is smoother and firmer.

WHO ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR PIXEL PERFECT®?

If you are looking to reinvigorate your look with healthier, smoother and beautiful-looking skin, Pixel Perfect® could be the perfect procedure just for you!

Laser therapy may not be the best choice if you have:

  • Active acne
  • Very dark skin
  • Deep wrinkles
  • Excessive or sagging skin

THE EXPERIENCE

The recovery is a few days, as opposed to four weeks with the traditional CO2 laser. Most importantly, the results of the Pixel Perfect® are excellent. This procedure will be performed in the office while the patient is awake under IV sedation, and can take up to 30 minutes to 2 hours in our accredited Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery office.

After the procedure, patients will take a short period of rest, usually 12 hours, and avoid strenuous activity for the next several days. Patients return to work within 4-7 days after the Pixel Perfect® procedure.

Skin that’s treated with laser resurfacing may react in different ways. But most of the time, it will feel like a mild sunburn. You’ll have some redness and swelling. You may also experience mild itching for a day, signifying you’re well on the way to healing. Usually, about 3 to 5 days after laser skin resurfacing, your skin will become slightly dry. Patients can apply make-up to their face as early as 3 days after the procedure.
