The problem: Skin conditions like acne scarring and excess pigmentation affect thousands of people in the UK, and though neither is particularly damaging to the physical health, both can have a huge impact on confidence and self-esteem.
The treatment: The Pixel Laser – as seen on Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies – is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment which uses the very latest light technology to get rid of scars and reduce the appearance of dark pigmentation. It is suitable for all skin types, including dark skin.
The results: After treatment, patients are left with even, smooth, healthy looking skin. The appearance of scars is dramatically improved as is the appearance of excessive skin pigmentation. The Pixel Laser can also reduce pore size and smooth out rough skin. It is one of the most successful scar treatments available today and when combined with the skill of our practitioners, the results achieved are quite remarkable.
Downtime: Depending on how quickly your skin heals, you may need to take a day or two off work, however most people will be able to get back to normal activities straight away.

Some of your questions answered
What does the treatment involve?
The Pixel Laser is a high-energy beam of light that is directed onto damaged areas of skin. The laser removes the epidermis and upper dermis on targeted zones, which triggers the body’s natural healing process and stimulates the growth of healthy new skin. The advantage of the Pixel Laser over other laser treatments is that it can treat very small areas of skin leaving the surrounding tissue untouched and undamaged.
Does the treatment hurt?
Very few people feel any pain at all with the Pixel Laser, though some experience a tingling sensation.
How long does the treatment take?
This will depend on the size of the area to be treated. Sessions can last from a few minutes to half an hour and we usually recommend a course of three to five treatments every four to six weeks.
How soon will I see results?
You should start to see results after your very first session of this scar laser treatment, however, the final results won’t be visible until the end of your course of treatment.
How long will the results last?
The results achieved by the Pixel Laser are permanent.
Are there any side effects?
For several hours after treatment your skin will feel tight, and look ‘sunburned’ and swollen. It may look pinkish for another five to seven days, while the swelling should go down after one to three days. For this reason you may want to spend a day or two at home, depending on your job. As your skin starts to heal it may flake a little which can last for up to two weeks.
