In the ever-changing skin care world, there is always a buzz when something totally new comes along. Alma, a leader in aesthetic technology, has now released PixelPeel, a new procedure that aims to totally change the way we approach skin renewal.
What is PixelPeel?
PixelPeel is an in-office, non-surgical solution for a wide range of skin issues with minimal downtime. The therapy is the superior of two proven technologies: light chemical peel and fractional laser resurfacing. The laser creates micro-channels in the skin to stimulate new cell growth, and the chemical peel exfoliates the outermost layer to reveal a smoother, healthier-looking complexion.
The genius of PixelPeel is that it can solve many skin problems in a single session. Are you looking to reduce the impact of sun damage, wrinkles, or acne scars? This treatment promises a complete solution. And, perhaps most importantly, it produces extraordinary results with much less recovery time than other treatments.

How Does PixelPeel Work?
The magic of PixelPeel lies in its combination of Alma’s Pixel 2940 laser system and a light chemical peel. Fractional laser technology used in PixelPeel addresses the skin in grid lines, so only a portion of it is addressed at any moment. This reduces the possibility of irritating the skin and allows the untreated skin to heal quickly.
Aside from the laser, the chemical peel used in the process gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells and stimulating healthy skin turnover. The combination of the technologies works synergistically and addresses issues like uneven skin color, fine lines, and texture, leaving visibly refreshed and rejuvenated-looking skin.
Why is PixelPeel Getting Noticed?
Maybe the greatest appeal of PixelPeel is how versatile it is. Whether it’s removing fine lines, smoothing out acne scars, or taking on pigmentation issues, PixelPeel has a solution for an array of skin-related problems.
The treatment is also safe for the majority of skin tones and types, a primary concern for anyone seeking a treatment that can be done on a wide range of complexions. Darker complexions often find many laser treatments less effective or even unsafe, but Alma’s PixelPeel technology guarantees safety and effectiveness for all.
What to Expect During the Treatment
Depending on the size of the treated area, a typical PixelPeel session can last anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. The treatment starts with the application of a topical anesthetic cream so that the patient can relax during the procedure. Once the area is prepared, the PixelPeel device is utilized to deliver the laser energy and chemical peel. Most of the patients experience slight warmth or numbness with no pain during the procedure.
The skin may become slightly red or puffy after the treatment, as if it were sunburned. Flaking or peeling may also be experienced on following days as the rejuvenation of the skin. Such behavior is a sign that the treatment is going in the right direction and the result will be achieved after healing of the skin.
Results and Aftercare
PixelPeel typically shows results in a few days and gradually progresses over the ensuing weeks. Most patients experience dramatic improvements with a single treatment, although multiple treatments may be written for more recalcitrant skin problems.
Following the treatment, patients are instructed to keep their skin away from sunlight and maintain a gentle skincare regimen to aid healing. Periodic follow-up treatments, every few months, can also be done to preserve the result, with the skin remaining healthy and youthful-looking.
With powerful results, minimal downtime, and universal appeal, Alma’s PixelPeel is not just a treatment—it’s the future of non-invasive skin transformation.
