Book AppointmentPrecise Resurfacing, Real Results
Pixel CO2 is a fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment that resurfaces the skin by targeting specific columns of tissue while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. That approach, sometimes called fractional resurfacing, is what makes the recovery faster and more manageable compared to older ablative CO2 treatments that treated the entire surface at once. The laser stimulates the skin's natural healing response, triggering new collagen production and encouraging fresh, smoother skin to form in place of the old. It's an effective option for people who want meaningful improvement in skin texture and tone without committing to the extended downtime of a full ablative procedure. Treatments can be customized based on how aggressive you want to go, with different applicators suited to different depths and concerns.

What Pixel CO2 Can Improve
The conditions Pixel CO2 addresses well include acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and uneven texture. It can also be used to treat certain benign skin growths like sebaceous hyperplasia and warts, as well as loose or hooded eyelid skin. The system comes with several applicators built for different use cases: the Focus handpiece combines cutting and coagulation for precise scar and wrinkle work, LiteScan handles broader concerns like sun damage and pore size, the 7x7 and 9x9 pixel arrays deliver deeper energy for more pronounced scars, and the iPixel CO2 Roller covers larger areas efficiently when overall skin texture is the goal. Your provider will recommend the right configuration based on what you want to address and how much recovery time you're comfortable with.

Treatment Benefits
Acne Scar Reduction
Fractional CO2 energy creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, prompting collagen remodeling that gradually softens the appearance of pitted and rolling acne scars.
Wrinkles & Sun Damage
The laser removes damaged outer skin layers and stimulates fresh collagen beneath, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and the discoloration caused by years of sun exposure.
Texture & Pore Refinement
By triggering deep skin renewal, Pixel CO2 smooths rough texture, minimizes enlarged pores, and improves overall skin tone for a more even, polished appearance.
Customizable Depth & Downtime
Multiple applicators allow the treatment to be dialed in for your specific concerns, with options ranging from lighter sessions with minimal downtime to deeper resurfacing for more dramatic results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does recovery look like after Pixel CO2?
Most people experience redness and a sensation similar to mild sunburn for a few days, followed by some peeling as the skin heals. The fractional approach keeps recovery shorter than traditional full-surface CO2 treatments, though downtime varies depending on the treatment depth your provider selects.
How many sessions are needed?
For mild texture concerns or fine lines, one session may be enough to see a noticeable difference. Deeper concerns like significant acne scarring or more advanced sun damage typically benefit from two to three sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart.
Is Pixel CO2 painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to keep you comfortable. Most patients describe a warm or slightly stinging sensation during the procedure itself, which passes quickly once the session is done.
Who is a good candidate for Pixel CO2?
It works well for a wide range of skin types, though your provider will assess your skin tone and concerns during a consultation to make sure the settings are appropriate for you. Those with active skin infections or certain skin conditions may need to wait before treating.
