PEEL AWAY THE YEARS: PIXEL LASER RESURFACING

Gresham Cosmetic Laser Center, conveniently located just 20 minutes from Portland in Troutdale, introduces Pixel Laser Skin Resurfacing. Pixel is the next generation of fractional laser resurfacing that helps to improve skin texture, tone and firmness, smooths wrinkles, and
reduces pore size and scars (including acne scars) without the recovery time and discomfort associated with other resurfacing lasers.


ABOUT PIXEL
This 20-minute procedure ablates small zones of the skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched and intact. These unaffected areas allow for more effective and rapid tissue healing and collagen production. You will see healthier, firmer, smoother skin with minimal downtime.
Unlike Fraxel®, Pixel requires no topical anesthetic or dyes, therefore reducing the risk of a bronzing or tattooing effect. Clients experience less pain during the treatment, a shorter recovery period, and it is less expensive.



Although it is preferable to avoid sun exposure for a couple of weeks before and after any laser procedure, you can still have treatments in the summer by following a few simple precautions: avoid direct sunlight especially during midday, wear a hat, and conscientiously apply a good zinc-or titanium-based sunblock, of at least SPF 30 several times throughout the day.

The Pixel treatment is quick - about 20 minutes for a full face. Patients may experience minimal discomfort, usually a sensation of heat with the pulse of the laser. Typically you can expect to feel and look as though you have moderate sunburn for a couple of days. Some flaking will occur and last for about a week. Your skin will look better within days following the treatment, and results steadily improve over the next few months.





Common areas to be treated include the face, chest, hands, and even the fragile skin on the neck which “ages” us the most. While one Pixel will give you noticeable improvement, optimal results can be achieved with a series of treatments - perhaps two to four sessions, at three to four week intervals. Pixel is surprisingly affordable at $500 for full face, less if purchased in packages.





Dr Peter Bernier, Medical Director, states, “Our philosophy is to deliver the safest, most
effective skin care at an affordable price.” In addition, Gresham Laser offers a package protocol called Laser 360 that addresses the most common age-related complaints: loose skin, wrinkles, and sun damage pigmentation changes. Achieve complete skin rejuvenation by combing the 3 technologies into a customized treatment plan and take years off your age in just weeks.
