advanced skin resurfacing at aesthetik
how does laser resurfacing work?
The Alma Pixel CO2 uses a 10,600nm wavelength carbon dioxide laser to create microscopic, pixel-sized channels in the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This fractional approach triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, more youthful skin.
Unlike traditional ablative resurfacing that removes the entire top layer of skin, this fractional delivery method preserves undamaged tissue — enabling faster healing while still achieving dramatic results in skin texture, tone and tightness.

what to expect during your initial consultation and treatment
01 Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough skin assessment and consultation to understand your concerns, goals and skin type. We’ll determine the most appropriate treatment parameters for your needs. This consultation will not occur on the same treatment day and there is the requirement for a skin check with a Medical or Nurse Practitioner prior to treatment. This will be discussed in your initial consultation.
02 Preparation for treatment
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure maximum comfort throughout the procedure. Your skin is cleansed and prepared for optimal laser penetration.
03 Laser Resurfacing
The Pixel CO₂ delivers precisely controlled laser energy through pixel-sized beams, creating microscopic channels in the skin. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation as the laser works across the treatment area.
04 Recovery & Renewal
Mild redness and a sunburn-like sensation are normal immediately following treatment. Over the next 5–14 days (depending on the depth and type of procedure), the skin naturally heals and regenerates, revealing smoother, firmer skin as new collagen develops.
05 Ongoing Results
Collagen continues to remodel for months after treatment. Many patients see progressive improvement in skin texture, tone and firmness well beyond the initial healing period.
