Erbium YAG iPixel Skin Treatment
What to expect
Microscopic perforations the size of 7 pixels are made in the skin as the roller passes over. These perforations permeate to a depth of 20 to 50 microns deep. The depth of the heat can be controlled and is determined by the client’s skin type. The thermal heat inserted into the skin cells kickstarts new collagen growth, which continues to develop long after the laser treatment session is over.
Duration
A treatment session of ER: YAG iPixel typically takes up to 45 minutes
Downtime
As the iPixel is an ablative form of laser there is some associated downtime with this treatment. The downtime period is normally 3-7 days in which most patients will experience sensitive, red and sometimes flaky skin. It is important that patients follow the aftercare instructions given to them by the dermal clinician to enhance results as well as minimise risks associated post-treatment.
Price
Full face iPixel treatment is $700
Half face iPixel is $350
The Er: YAG laser is an ablative fractionated laser that combines traditional Erbium laser technology with modern PIXEL technology. This laser allows for precise control of skin penetration. The tiny perforations allow for faster healing and better collagen stimulation.

FAQ’S
Who is suitable for a CO2 treatment?
CO2 laser skin resurfacing is suitable for patients with a number of skin conditions including texture, pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles.
However, being an ablative treatment, it’s unsuitable for individuals with darker skin tones due to the heightened risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Patients with such skin types can explore various alternative treatments available at Advantage Skin Clinic.
How many sessions are required to see results?
Many patients notice visible improvements after just one session. However, optimal results often require a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart. Your healthcare provider will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
What are the benefits of Er: YAG laser?
- Customisable intensity — The treatment can be adjusted to various intensity levels to address specific skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to deeper scars.
- Minimal discomfort — The laser’s precision allows for targeted treatment, reducing the impact on surrounding tissues and ensuring a painless experience.
- Reduces acne scarring — Er: YAG lasers create micro-injuries in the scar tissue, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin. This collagen helps to rebuild the skin’s structure and integrity, diminishing the appearance of various types of scars over time.
- Improves fine lines — Erbium YAG lasers effectively smooth mild to moderate wrinkling, leading to plumper, more supple skin.
What skin concerns does Erbium YAG iPixel treat?
Our YAG laser skin treatment in Wollongong targets the following skin conditions:
- Uneven skin tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sunspots and freckles
- Stretch marks
- Hypertrophic and atrophic scars
- Benign raised lesions (warts, skin tags and seborrheic keratosis)
Is Erbium YAG iPixel suitable for all skin types?
It includes customisable settings, making it safe and effective for various skin types, tones and textures. However, raising any concerns during your initial consultation is always best to determine the right treatment plan for your needs.
How does Erbium YAG iPixel compare to traditional laser resurfacing?
Compared to older skin resurfacing technologies, our YAG laser treatment for skin is gentler, offering precise correction, quicker recovery and little downtime.
How many Erbium YAG iPixel treatments are typically needed to see results?
For best results, we recommend three sessions spaced three to four weeks apart. However, the exact number of treatments may vary depending on your individual skin type, concerns and goals. For deeper skin issues, further follow-up sessions may be necessary.
When you book a consultation with our experienced team, we’ll work with you to create a personalised treatment plan.
How long do the results of Erbium YAG iPixel last?
Results can last several months to a year, depending on factors like skin type, the condition being treated and your skincare routine. Maintaining results may require follow-up sessions or a maintenance plan. Sun protection, a healthy lifestyle and an efficacious twice-daily skincare regimen can help prolong the benefits.
