Pixel co2
Renew Your Skin’s Radiance
Pixel CO2 is a skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and diminish scars or pigmentation. This advanced laser technology works by creating microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting natural healing, which results in smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
How Does Our Treatment Work?
Our pixel CO2 treatment utilises fractional laser technology to target specific areas of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact, promoting faster healing. During the procedure, the laser emits tiny beams of light that create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and encouraging collagen and elastin production. This process helps to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and diminish scars and pigmentation issues.
What Can Be Achieved With Our Treatments?
Some of the results our client’s achieve are improved skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, diminished scars, even skin tones and increased radiance.
Things to Consider Post-Treatment
- Post-Treatment Care: You may experience some redness, swelling, and sensitivity in the treated areas. Applying cool compresses and following your practitioner’s specific aftercare instructions will help soothe your skin.
- Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated by using gentle, non-irritating moisturisers.
- Sun Protection: Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight following the treatment. It’s crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, and avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks to prevent pigmentation changes.
- Avoid Irritants: Refrain from using harsh skincare products, exfoliants, or active ingredients like retinol for a week or two after treatment. Gentle cleansing is essential to allow your skin to heal properly.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Attend any recommended follow-up appointments with your practitioner to monitor your healing progress and discuss any concerns you may have.

FAQs
What is Pixel CO2, and how does it work?
Pixel CO2 is a fractional laser treatment that uses carbon dioxide (CO2) laser technology to target skin imperfections. The laser creates tiny columns of heat in the skin, which stimulates collagen production and promotes skin renewal. This process helps improve skin texture, tone, and the appearance of scars and wrinkles.
What skin concerns can Pixel CO2 treat?
Pixel CO2 is effective for treating a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. It can also help improve skin texture and firmness, making it ideal for individuals looking to rejuvenate their skin and achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance.
How is the Pixel CO2 treatment performed?
During the treatment, a fractional CO2 laser is applied to the skin, delivering controlled pulses of energy. The laser creates tiny micro-injuries, which stimulate the skin’s natural healing process and promote collagen production. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort.
How long does a Pixel CO2 session take, and is there any downtime?
A Pixel CO2 session usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. After the treatment, patients may experience redness, swelling, and a mild burning sensation, similar to a mild sunburn. Downtime can range from a few days to a week, depending on the intensity of the treatment and the individual’s healing response.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Results from Pixel CO2 typically begin to show within 1–2 weeks, with continued improvement over the next few months as collagen production increases.
Is Pixel CO2 safe, and are there any side effects?
Yes, Pixel CO2 is safe when performed by an experienced practitioner. Side effects are generally minimal but may include temporary redness, swelling, dryness, or peeling of the skin. These effects usually subside within a few days. Aftercare is essential for the best results and includes moisturising the skin, avoiding direct sun exposure, and applying a high SPF sunscreen. Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimise any potential risks.
TIPS FROM OUR EXPERTS
Dr CATHERINE CASEY
Preparing for your Pixel CO2 treatment at Grand Cosmetic Clinic is an exciting step towards achieving smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin. To ensure the best possible results, here are a few guidelines to follow before your treatment.
First, it’s essential to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks prior to your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin may not respond as well to the treatment, and it can increase the risk of complications. If you can, try to stay out of direct sunlight, and always wear sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin.
If you have any active skin conditions such as cold sores, please let me know in advance, as we may need to address these before proceeding with the treatment. Also, I recommend avoiding any harsh skincare products, including retinoids or exfoliating treatments, in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure your skin is in its best condition.
On the day of your Pixel CO2 treatment, it’s a good idea to arrive with a clean face, free of makeup or skincare products. We’ll apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, but if you’re feeling anxious, please don’t hesitate to let me know, and we’ll discuss options to make the experience more relaxing for you.
If you have any questions or concerns leading up to your treatment, I’m here to help. My goal is to ensure your skin is prepared for the procedure and that you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. I look forward to helping you achieve your skin goals.
NEED TO KNOW
POST-TREATMENT SAFETY
After your Pixel CO2 treatment at Grand Cosmetic Clinic, your skin may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. This is completely normal and will typically subside within a few days. It’s important to avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent any irritation or infection. You may also notice some peeling or flaking as the skin begins to renew itself—this is part of the healing process, so try to avoid picking at it.
For the first few days, it’s best to keep your skin hydrated by applying a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer as recommended by our team. Make sure to avoid using any harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants, retinoids, or products with alcohol, as they may irritate the treated area.
Sun protection is key to ensuring optimal healing and results. Make sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF whenever you’re outdoors, even on cloudy days. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks post-treatment, as your skin will be more sensitive and prone to damage during this time.
