IS THE HARMONY IPIXEL AN ABLATIVE LASER

The Ipixel is known as a semi ablative laser. An ablative laser means it creates tiny perforations in the surface of the skin which are only a few millimetres deep. The treatment feels hot at the time and for approximately 60 mins after the laser treatment which is why numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before treatment. During the facial laser treatment the YAG laser creates tiny microscopic holes in the skin stimulating a healing response and a deep ‘peel like’ effect. The skin the sheds all the dead skin over the following days revealing younger looking, smoother skin. The microscopic holes made by the laser begin to heal and more collagen is produced. This increase in collagen remodels the skin improving scars, pore size, texture whilst pigment will also begin to fade.
