Fractional RF Skin Rejuvenation

At BodyLux we use Alma's Accent Prime Pixel RF™. This unique microplasma technology provides skin resurfacing treatment by both ablating and heating the skin. Through controlled perforation and focused energy delivery, Pixel RF treats the affected area while leaving surrounding healthy tissue intact. This allows the skin to heal faster as the epidermis is regenerated, yielding improved results with minimal risk and reduced downtime.

The procedure can be slightly uncomfortable, and therefore requires some form of anaesthetic – eg anaesthetic cream applied up to 45 minutes before the procedure works well.

After the procedure, there will be a mild tightand tingling sensation for several hours that is very well tolerated.

To get the best out of the procedure, up to 3 treatment ssessions are recommended for rejuvenation and up to 6 for scarring. These can be carried out every 3-4 weeks. To keep your complexion looking its best, maintenance treatment can be performed yearly or as require

Patients can expect clearer, smoother, tighter and more vibrant skin. Patients with acne or other forms of scarring can expect gradual improvement with each treatment. A realistic expectation is approximately 25–50% improvement after 3 treatments or so. When treating wrinkles, lines and laxity, earlier intervention with maintenance treatments will be more effective and also slow down the ageing process.

Immediately following the procedure there will be a tight tingling sensation. Mild swelling and redness may persist for 1–2 days, but there will be no significant oozing, weeping, scabs or broken skin commonly seen with fractional laser therapy. However, more intensive treatment will increase recovery time, which will in turn produce better results, and micro-scabs (fine brown dots) may be visible for up to 5 days that can be left alone or covered with make-up. The healing process will continue for several weeks thereafter when the collagen will progressively remodel and tighten.
