The newest break-through in laser skin resurfacing
What is Pixel CO2 laser?
LASER SKIN RESURFACING that lifts away years from your face and stimulates new collagen to grow. It improves your skin's texture and tone to fight fine lines, wrinkles, and even acne scars.
It is an improvement on the older CO2 lasers because the laser beam has been "fractionalized", or divided into tiny pinpoints of light that actually remove surface skin damage. At the same time, the light reaches the lower layers of skin to stimulate collagen to fill in wrinkles and tighten.
Is there any discomfort?
It is not painless, but it is quick and tolerable with the application of numbing cream prior to the procedure. Numbing cream can be purchased at our office before your visit, or, by appointment, we can apply it for you if you arrive an hour before your procedure.
If you are ready to see some reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and discoloration created by aging and sun damage, you can request a free consultation, call
Is there any healing time?
It generally only takes a 4-day weekend to heal for most people. It heals quickly and is much safer than the older CO2 treatments because the repaired skin has only to cover over the surface area of the tiny dots, rather than the whole treated area.
When will I see a difference?
There will be enough improvement after just one treatment for many patients to be satisfied. Skin will look gradually better over the few weeks following treatment. In most cases, though, three treatments should produce the results that you would like to see.
What areas can I have treated with the Pixel CO2?
We are currently treating face, neck, chest and backs of the hands.
Who will be performing my treatments?
These treatments will be performed by Dr. Cooperrider or one of our very experienced physician assistants.
Our friendly and capable dermatology physician assistants possess extensive general dermatology and surgical skills as well as proficiency in using lasers.
Physician assistants (PAs) have been practicing with dermatologists for 30 years, providing a wide variety of services.
PAs diagnose, prescribe medications and provide medical and surgical treatment. Some dermatology PAs specialize in areas such as acne, psoriasis, skin cancer, warts and rashes, others concentrate in cosmetics: performing sclerotherapy, and operating lasers, while others specialize in surgery: performing a wide variety of surgical procedures.
Certified physician assistants (PA-C) are medical providers formally trained in primary care and graduating from one of over 100 accredited academic training programs in the U.S.
Most Physician Assistant Programs last 24-27 continuous months and use the medical school model.
To remain nationally certified Physician Assistants (PAs) must complete 100 hours of Continuing Medical Education (CME) every 2 years and pass a national re-certification exam every 6 years.
