Frequently Asked Questions B2B

Pixel Peel

• What is Pixel Peel?

  Pixel Peel is a low-parameter CO₂ resurfacing protocol performed on the Alma Hybrid platform. It is designed to support repair-focused skin renewal within a structured treatment framework.

• Who is an appropriate candidate for Pixel Peel?

  Pixel Peel may be suitable for patients seeking visible skin refinement with shorter recovery time. Final candidacy should always be determined through physician evaluation.

• Can Pixel Peel be performed year-round?

  Pixel Peel is designed as a lighter resurfacing protocol and may be incorporated throughout the year based on clinical assessment, patient indication, and environmental considerations.

• How is Pixel Peel different from traditional CO₂ resurfacing?

  Pixel Peel utilizes lower CO₂ parameters to reduce treatment intensity and downtime, making it suitable as an entry-level resurfacing option while maintaining the clinical benefits of CO₂ technology.

• What level of downtime should be expected after Pixel Peel treatments?

  Downtime is typically shorter compared to deeper resurfacing protocols, though recovery varies depending on indication, parameters, and individual healing response.

• Can patients progress to more intensive resurfacing after Pixel Peel?

  Yes. Pixel Peel may serve as the entry step within a progressive resurfacing pathway, allowing patients to advance to deeper protocols, such as Winter Reset, when readiness and clinical indication align.

• Does Pixel Peel require additional equipment?

  No. Pixel Peel is performed exclusively on the Alma Hybrid platform using its integrated CO₂ technology.

• What ratios are available on the HyGrid?

  The skin ablation/ non ablation ratio can be customized in a matrix of the precise proportions required to meet the unique treatment needs of each and every patient. Choose from 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:1 and 3:1.

• Is there clinical evidence on the HyGrid?

  Yes, both a histology paper and a clinical paper have been written about the HyGrid, the latter focusing on its use for periorbital rejuvenation.

• In what scanning area does the HyGrid lase?

  Variable scanning sizes are available, including a mini-grid and a random brush mode.
