Transform Your Skin with Alma Harmony iPixel™ Laser Resurfacing at Empower Aesthetics and Wellness
Are you seeking a powerful solution to rejuvenate your skin, diminish imperfections, and restore a youthful glow? At Empower Aesthetics and Wellness in Chandler, Arizona, we are proud to offer Alma Harmony iPixel™, a revolutionary fractional ablative laser treatment designed to address a wide range of skin concerns with impressive results and faster recovery than traditional ablative lasers.
What is Alma Harmony iPixel™?
Alma Harmony iPixel™ is an advanced, FDA-cleared skin resurfacing treatment that utilizes a fractional Erbium YAG (Er:YAG) laser. Unlike older laser technologies that treat the entire skin surface, iPixel™ delivers laser energy in a “pixelated” or “fractional” pattern. This creates tiny, microscopic channels of controlled thermal injury in the skin, while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This innovative approach triggers your body’s natural healing process, stimulating profound rejuvenation from within.
How Does Alma Harmony iPixel™ Work?
The iPixel™ handpiece delivers precise bursts of laser energy in a grid-like pattern, creating micro-ablative zones deep within the skin. This dual action initiates a powerful response:
Collagen & Elastin Stimulation: The controlled micro-injuries signal your body to produce new, healthy collagen and elastin – the essential building blocks for firm, smooth, and youthful skin. As new collagen develops, the skin’s structure improves, leading to a reduction in lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Targeted Tissue Removal: The laser ablates (removes) tiny columns of damaged or aged skin cells. As these old cells are shed, they are replaced by fresh, healthy skin, resulting in a more even tone and refined texture.
Accelerated Healing: Because surrounding tissue is left untouched, the skin heals much more rapidly than with fully ablative lasers. This leads to significantly reduced downtime.

What to Expect During Your Alma Harmony iPixel™ Treatment
Prior to your session at Empower Aesthetics and Wellness, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. You’ll be given protective eyewear. Our highly skilled technician will then gently glide the iPixel™ handpiece over the targeted skin. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation, similar to a mild sunburn. The treatment duration typically ranges from 20-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being addressed.
Recovery and Results
Immediately after your iPixel™ treatment, your skin will appear red, feel warm, and may have a “pixelated” or “grid-like” appearance. This is normal and indicates the laser has done its work. Over the next few days, your skin may feel tight and develop tiny, dark brown scabs (microcrusts) where the laser created the micro-channels. These will naturally flake off, revealing fresh, new skin underneath.
Downtime: Expect 3-7 days of recovery.
Aftercare: Includes gentle cleansing, soothing ointments (like Aquaphor), and sunscreen use.
Results: Develop gradually over 3-6 months. A series of 3-5 treatments is typically recommended.
