FRACTIONAL RESURFACING

Improved Laser Resurfacing: The Next Generation

First, there was the skin peels. Then came laser resurfacing. Now, Abington Aesthethic and Laser offers a dramatic improvement in skin rejuvenation. 

Newest Technology: The Pixel 2940
See and experience dramatic improvements in their skin with minimal discomfort, with little to no downtime. The Pixel 2940 is the latest and best method to reduce and possible removal of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, it can improve deeper wrinkles, sun damaged skin, reduce age spots and blemishes, acne scars. 

Another advantage over earlier technology allowes the Pixel 2940 to target various areas such as: face, neck, chest, arms and hands, treating aging and sun damaged skin. 

How long does it last?
Lasting results are comparable to earlier laser resurfacing techniques and, as always, is dependent on individual characteristics of ageing, the effects of gravity, and sun exposure.

The big benefits beautiful skin, no downtime
Clients notice the results immediately tighter, firmer skin, and smoother to the touch. Furthermore, most patients can return to work almost immediately. For women, any residual redness can easily be covered with makeup. 

Side effects & risks
The Pixel 2940 machine offers speedy healing and minimal to no downtime. Patients report that treatment is generally well-tolerated and almost pain free, just a light flicking or elastic band feeling on the skin as the laser is fired. Also clients experience a slight sensation of warmth during treatment. Of course, treatment of deeper wrinkles and scars may produce more discomfort and heat effect, but this can be managed effectively using a cold air device to aid any discomfort.

Minor side effects and reduced risks
You may notice minor redness (like sunburn) and skin flaking in the days post-treatment. This is similar to a superficial chemical peel, but without the discomfort. These effects can be minimized using cooling gels or aloe vera. These minor side effect should resolve in 24-48 hours, depending on skin sensitively. Its also recommended you apply sunscreen to the treated area.

The Pixel 2940 delivers results comparable to traditional ablative lasers. At the same time it eliminates the possible side effects of traditional ablative methods such as hypo- or hyper-pigmentation (dark or light patches forming on the skin), post-procedure infections, swelling, erythema (redness) or edema (swelling caused by inflammation).

Treatment regime
A treatment programme of 3-5 treatments, spaced 3 - weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. The number of treatment sessions required will depend upon the individual patient and condition; Dr. Zelinger will be able to create an appropriate treatment regime for you.
