What Makes the Pixel CO₂ Laser Different
The Pixel CO₂ creates thousands of microscopic laser columns in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing. This fractional approach stimulates collagen remodeling beneath the surface—tightening skin, refining pores, and improving overall texture and tone over time.
The LiteScan handpiece allows complete customization for each area, from gentle resurfacing on the face and hands to precise tightening under the eyes and around the mouth.
How soon can I wear make up?
Usually after about 5–7 days once the skin has completely re-epithelialized. We’ll guide you on the exact timing at your post-treatment check.
What should I do to prepare for my treatment?
Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning, and certain skincare products containing retinol or exfoliants for at least a week before treatment. Hydrating the skin and following pre-care instructions provided by the specialist ensures the best results. Patients should also discuss any medications or skin conditions with their provider to ensure a safe and effective procedure.
How many sessions are needed for optimal results?
Many patients see significant improvement after just one session. However, those with deep wrinkles, scars, or severe sun damage may require multiple treatments for maximum benefit. During consultation, a specialist assesses individual skin needs and recommends the ideal number of sessions for optimal, long-lasting results.
How long do the results last?
Because the Full CO₂ treatment triggers deep collagen renewal, improvements in tone, texture, and tightness can last for years with proper skincare and sun protection.
Is the Alma CO2 Pixel painful?
We use a strong topical numbing cream and cooling throughout your session. You’ll feel warmth and pressure during treatment, similar to a strong sunburn. Most clients say it’s very tolerable with proper numbing. Post-treatment, mild discomfort similar to a sunburn may occur, but this subsides within a few days. Cooling methods and aftercare products help ease any temporary sensitivity, making the process manageable.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery varies based on treatment intensity, typically lasting between 7 and 14 days. Plan for redness and swelling for 3–7 days. You’ll notice peeling or flaking as new skin forms. It’s best to take a few days off work or social events. Pinkness can linger for up to two weeks, but makeup can usually be worn after the initial healing period. Proper post-care, including moisturizing and sun protection, helps support healing and maximize results.
