Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars :


Pixel is a type of laser resurfacing that helps to reduce acne scars effectively. Laser pulses create tiny ablative zones for removing the epidermis. The treatment then triggers the body’s natural process, stimulating growth of new, healthy tissue, which results in a smooth, refreshed and scar free skin. The pixel laser can also be used to control ageing in photo-damaged wrinkled skin.


Pre- and post-procedure instructions :


Avoid waxing / threading 2 days before and 7 days after treatment.
Stop all medicated applications on face 2 days before and 7 days post-procedure, or as advised.
Strictly avoid exposure to the sun after and in between treatment.
Use a sunscreen of minimum SPF 30 regularly.


Post-procedure :


1st–2nd day—redness and swelling is noticed.
3rd–5th day—bronzing of the skin and peeling is expected.
6th day—smooth, clear skin appears.
Apply an antibiotic ointment twice a day for 5 days after the treatment.
Do not apply any cosmetics for at least 7 days after the treatment.
