Here at Clovis Laser Center, we enjoy offering our patients who participate in laser skin resurfacing a number of benefits, including:

• Reversal of texture and hyperpigmentation, resulting in more even, toned skin
• Precise, careful treatment that treats skin one layer at a time
• Younger-looking, rejuvenated appearance
• Long-lasting results with the potential to last for years

When you are scheduled for a deeper or more intense laser resurfacing session, you may be asked to use a retinoid product for 2 – 3 weeks before your laser procedure. The retinoid helps prep the skin for more effective results. Medication will be suggested prior to the procedure to help lessen any sensation for greater relaxation during your appointment. If your skin only needs mild correction, a local anesthetic will be used to numb treated areas of the face. For the full face or more intense laser procedures, a kind of sedation may be required. Throughout the procedure, you will relax in our special treatment chair while the laser passes over the your skin, precisely targeting the needed sections for improvement. You may feel the heat of the laser followed by cold air from the system's built-in cooling device. The laser is designed to destroy damaged skin cells while also stimulating new collagen growth.

The Pixel Erbium skin resurfacing platform is designed for patients who are unhappy with their overall complexion. If you have age spots, acne scars, wrinkles and/or fine lines, redness, skin damaged by the sun, or pigmentation troubles, this procedure can be employed to improve these cosmetic flaws. In addition, this treatment works effectively if you have scaly patches, rough texture, or other irregularities. Additionally, while Pixel skin resurfacing does not require much downtime for patients, it is important to know that there will be some recovery time for the skin to heal and replenish after a treatment session. Some patients, depending on the condition of their skin, may require a couple of weeks for their skin to normalize.

How much does laser skin resurfacing with the Pixel Erbium platform cost?
Pixel skin resurfacing pricing is based on the treatment type you choose. In your initial consultation, Dr. Roth will review your skin problems and your goals before determining the optimal skin resurfacing procedure. Then, he will help you decide on your treatment and discuss pricing. Clovis Laser Center often runs treatment specials and discounted packages, so ask for more information during your appointment.

How can I help my skin recover after a resurfacing treatment?
Dr. Roth or someone on his team will talk to you about how you can speed skin healing after a laser appointment. The most important rule is don't pick or peel your skin, which could create long-term injuries, like scars. Patients should skip all forms of hair removal on the treated skin prior to the treatment, which includes shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams. Our team can also recommend a cream to help soothe your skin.

How often should I get Pixel skin resurfacing treatments?
Depending on the skin resurfacing method you and Dr. Roth select for your treatment, you may need to wait a few weeks or possibly a few months between treatments. Deep laser treatments will give you longer-lasting results, however, they do require more time for recovery. You should tell Dr. Roth about how often you want to return for treatments so he will be able to consider this when recommending a treatment plan during your initial consultation.
