What is Pixel?

With the use Focused Radiofrequency; microscopic perforations are created to the surface of your skin. The technology leaves the skin surrounding the micro-wound intact.

During the treatment, shields are worn to protect the eyes. There is a slight stinging sensation with each pulse of light followed by warmth. In order to make the procedure as comfortable as possible, we ask patients to arrive 1 hour prior to each treatment for application of a topical numbing cream.
