Treatment with Pix:E® is versatile and can achieve a myriad of aesthetic benefits. Discover what can be accomplished by discussing your concerns with board-certified Wichita plastic surgeon James Shaw, MD and our team of skilled aesthetic professionals.
What Concerns Can Pix:E® Skin Rejuvenation Address?
Pix:E® combines radiofrequency (RF) microneedling with the versatile Erbium YAG resurfacing laser, eliminating the superficial, damaged layer of the skin while remodeling the supportive dermal layer. This promotes the development of smoother, sleeker, and tighter-looking skin in the areas of treatment. Concerns that can be vastly improved with Pix:E® microneedling and skin tightening include:
- Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, age spots, and other complexion issues
- Loose, lax, or crepey skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scarring
- Stretch marks
Best of all, non-surgical cosmetic enhancement with Pix:E® increases your skin’s natural production of new collagen and elastin. This not only promotes a more even skin tone and texture, but also allows your results to continue improving over time.
How is Treatment with Pix:E® Microneedling and Skin Tightening Performed?
Pix:E® skin rejuvenation is performed right here at our Wichita practice and typically doesn’t require any anesthesia, although a local numbing agent can be applied to improve patient comfort. During treatment, targeted beams of light energy are delivered to the superficial skin layer, eliminating dead cells and allowing an immediate improvement in the texture and appearance of your skin. Simultaneously, thousands of tiny microperforations are made in the treated areas through a handheld microneedling device. This stimulates the body’s production of collagen and enables the growth of healthier, softer skin. There is no extensive downtime required after your appointment.
What Results Can I Expect From Pix:E® Skin Rejuvenation?
There’s no recovery time required after Pix:E® microneedling and skin tightening, but there may be swelling, redness, irritation, or general discomfort (similar to a sunburn) immediately after your appointment. These reactions should resolve naturally within 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Patients generally report noticing firmer, tighter, sleeker, and healthier-looking skin relatively soon after their visit. These anti-aging effects should continue to improve over time with the remodeling of new collagen.
