Dr. Girouard - Pixel Perfect

Reverse The Early Signs Of Aging

Pixel Perfect™ is an aesthetic laser treatment that lifts away years from your face. It can help reverse the early signs of aging, and helps counteract years of sun damage or acne scarring. It provides noticeable results, often in as little as a single treatment.

Proven Effectiveness

If you've considered traditional (ablative) laser skin resurfacing, dermabrasions or deep chemical peels - but were put off by the extended recovery time or anesthesia required - Pixel Perfect offers a great balance. It can provide the dramatic results of these procedures, but with fewer risks. Plus, it reduces necessary healing time from up to thirty days to usually three days or less, depending on your starting condition and the type of Pixel® laser technology your doctor uses.

The Science Behind Pixel Perfect™

Pixel Perfect™, the aesthetic procedure performed exclusively by Pixel® technology from Alma Lasers, stimulates new collagen growth to improve your skin's texture and tone and fight fine lines and wrinkles. Pixel Perfect works by creating thousands of microscopic perforations, but the skin around each of these perforations remains intact. This allows your skin's top layer to heal from the edge of these tiny holes very rapidly. Not only is healing time shortened considerably, but Pixel Perfect also comes with a lower risk of complications, as compared to traditional laser skin resurfacing.

In more detail, the Pixel® laser light passes through patented optics to penetrate the skin with tiny thermal channels, only as deep as a few sheets of paper. In each channel it creates a micro-injury, without disturbing the surrounding tissue. These micro-injury sites (about 15-20 percent of the treatment area) start the process of healing. As collagen remodels, skin tightens and scars improve. The intact, undamaged skin around the treatment site is what promotes quicker healing for a faster recovery.

Pixel™ Resurfacing Is Safe and Comfortable

Pixel Perfect treatments are safe and effective, without injections or surgery. You can expect your skin to be flushed and red after the treatment - something similar to a sunburn. Your doctor may also prescribe an over-the-counter pain medicine to make you more comfortable. These symptoms are a normal part of the healing process and should improve quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good Pixel Perfect candidate?: Anyone whose skin shows signs of aging is a candidate for Pixel Perfect. The most dramatic results are seen on people who have tried non-invasive therapies and are looking for something more aggressive. The best candidates have moderate sun damage, are in good health, have good health habits and typically take good care of their skin.
Does Pixel Perfect work on all skin types?: Yes, Pixel Perfect can be performed on all skin types; however, it is a good idea to consult with your physician, as some skin conditions can interfere with proper treatment.
How long will it take?: Pixel skin rejuvenation treatments usually take less than 30 minutes, but could be longer if your condition is more advanced. Your exact treatment regimen will depend on your individual condition.
Is it safe?: Pixel Perfect treatments are safe and effective, without injections or surgery. You can expect your skin to be flushed and red after the treatment, but this is completely normal and short-lived. As long as you carefully follow your post-treatment instructions, this will be the limit of the difficulties you might experience.
Will it hurt?: How much the procedure hurts varies from person to person. In general, the procedure can feel similar to a sunburn. Your doctor may prescribe an over-the-counter pain medicine to make you more comfortable. The sunburn sensation is likely to continue after the treatment. These symptoms are a normal part of the healing process and should improve quickly.
What if I need a touch-up, later?: While Pixel Perfect reverses the appearance of aging, we can't stop the aging process. Depending on your starting point and your lifestyle following treatment, your new look can last several months or longer. For most patients, a touch-up treatment after 6 - 12 months (usually using a different light-based skin rejuvenation technology) helps maintain a healthy glow.
How much does it cost?: Pixel Perfect™ costs vary, depending on your treatment area and skin condition. You can check our price lists (English, Spanish, Portuguese) here, but we still recommend calling for a consultation.
