What is the Erbium iPIXEL Pro?
The Erbium iPIXEL Pro is a popular Harmony XL Pro treatment. It is a fractional ablative laser treatment that resurfaces the skin and targets concerns such as skin texture, pigmentation, sun damage and much more.
It is highly effective for treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, large pores, and rough skin texture by stimulating collagen renewal for a refreshed rejuvenated look.
What is an Erbium laser?
An Erbium laser is a type of laser used primarily for dermatological and cosmetic treatments. It emits a wavelength of light that is highly absorbed by water in the skin, making it particularly effective for precise skin resurfacing and rejuvenation.
How does the Erbium iPIXEL Pro work?
The Erbium iPIXEL Pro fractional ablative laser treatment delivers precise beams of energy in a pixel-size formation to target specific cells. The heat from the energy destroys the injured or damaged cells and stimulates collagen production to remodel and fill the treated area with new healthy cells.
Can Erbium be used for laser skin resurfacing?
Yes, the Erbium iPIXEL Pro is perfect for fractional skin resurfacing. It helps improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.
Who is the ideal candidate for the Erbium iPIXEL Pro?
The Erbium iPIXEL Pro treatment is well-suited for patients looking to address:
- Rough/uneven skin texture
- Pigmentation issues
- Acne & acne scars
- Fine and deep lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Stretch marks
Begin with a professional consultation with our qualified and experienced specialists to assess your facial features and understand your skincare concerns and objectives. This process helps identify the most effective treatments for your unique expectations.

What areas can be treated with the iPIXEL laser?
Erbium laser treatments are non-surgical and can be used to rejuvenate, smoothen, and firm the skin on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
What are the benefits of the Erbium iPIXEL Pro?
The Erbium iPIXEL laser treatment by Harmony XL Pro can help reduce the appearance of sun damage, rough or uneven skin texture, fine and deep lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and scarring of the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, leaving a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance.
How many Erbium iPIXEL skin treatments are required to see results?
The Erbium iPIXEL laser skin resurfacing treatment will leave your skin looking radiant and revitalised. For the best results, we recommend a course of 5 treatments, once every 4 – 6 weeks. We might also recommend a monthly treatment to maintain healthy, glowing skin and to combat the signs of ageing.
Combining treatments is highly recommended to help achieve optimal results, your Skincare Specialist might therefore either combine various technologies available within the Harmony XL Pro system or combine it with other treatment modalities.
However, after your initial consultation, you will receive a comprehensive skincare plan outlining the recommended treatments.
How long do results from Erbium iPIXEL pro treatments last?
The effects of Erbium iPIXEL treatments can be sustained as long as you like with regular maintenance sessions.
To maintain vibrant, youthful skin and mitigate ageing signs, we suggest a monthly treatment. For optimal results, a series of five treatments, scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks, is recommended.
How long does it take to perform an Erbium iPIXEL laser treatment?
Erbium iPIXEL Pro treatment time can vary between 60 – 120 minutes.
How long is the recovery period for an Erbium iPIXEL treatment?
Swelling and redness will be visible but will subside within 5 – 7 days. Occasionally small grid-like scabs may appear and should not last longer than 10 – 14 days.
You will however receive a box of post-treatment home care product minis and instructions on how to use these products in the days following your treatment.
Are Erbium iPIXEL Pro treatments painful?
Discomfort with the iPIXEL treatments is minimal due to the application of a topical numbing agent that is applied before the treatment begins.
How much does an Erbium iPIXEL treatment cost?
Erbium iPIXEL Pro treatment costs start at R 5 200 per treatment.
You will be quoted accordingly during your first consultation. The cost will include an aftercare pack to aid the recovery of your skin post-treatment.
For the best results, we recommend a course of 5 treatments spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart.
What are the possible risks and complications associated with Erbium iPIXEL treatments?
The risks are significantly reduced when an Erbium iPIXEL Pro treatment is conducted by a qualified Skincare Specialist in a sterile medical setting.
However, potential side effects of an iPIXEL laser treatment may include swelling and redness, which are noticeable but typically subside within 5 to 7 days. Occasionally, small grid-like scabs may form, but these should clear up within 10 to 14 days.
Erbium iPIXEL Pro: Before and After
We are committed to educating our clients about safe and effective treatments. To ensure tailored outcomes, each Skincare Treatment Plan is uniquely designed to deliver optimal results. The process begins with a computerised VISIA Skin Care Analysis that objectively assesses and maps your skin. This is followed by an in-depth consultation with your Skincare Specialist, during which your specific concerns are identified and discussed.
What to do before an Erbium iPIXEL Treatment
Before your treatment, you will receive a pack of special topical creams to apply to your skin 4 – 6 weeks prior to treatment. This prepares your skin and helps to reduce the chance of developing pigmentation areas afterwards. Below are some tips to follow before your Erbium iPIXEL Pro treatment:
- Refrain from using any intense at-home facial treatments or exfoliating the week before your appointment.
- Stay away from any sun exposure, including tanning, for five days before your treatment.
- Be aware of the skincare products you use at home, and compile a list to bring with you, as this will help your Skincare Specialist recommend appropriate products.
- Inform your Skincare Specialist about any medications, medical conditions, or past skin issues you have; knowing about over-the-counter medications is also crucial as they can impact your skin.
- If you are gearing up for a significant event and have not previously experienced a skincare treatment, schedule your initial appointment four weeks prior to the event, with a subsequent appointment closer to the date. This allows time to manage any adverse reactions and optimise treatment outcomes.
- Come ready to discuss your skin concerns and objectives. Your Skincare Specialist is a certified expert who will outline a precise plan to effectively meet your specific goals.
- Avoid undergoing any aesthetic procedures, including Botulinum Toxin, Facial Fillers, and Threads, two weeks before and after any minimally invasive skincare treatment.
On the day: Erbium iPIXEL treatment
If this is your first treatment at the Skin Clinic, you will need to fill out a brief medical questionnaire. This will assist your Skincare Specialist in choosing the best treatment protocol for you. You will be asked to change into a robe beforehand so that your Skincare Specialist can access your face, neck, and shoulders during the treatment.
The treatment will include:
- Cleansing
- Numbing agent application (30 minutes)
- Erbium iPIXEL treatment
- Crystal fibre mask application (if needed)
- Application of moisturiser and SPF
After an Erbium iPIXEL treatment
Swelling and redness will be visible but will subside within 5 – 7 days. In some instances, small grid-like scabs might form, which typically disappear within 10 to 14 days. You will also be provided with a box of miniature post-treatment home care products, along with instructions on how to use them in the days after your treatment.
WHAT AFTERCARE ADVICE AND PRODUCTS SHOULD I FOLLOW/USE?
Your Skincare Specialist will recommend an appropriate skincare regimen to enhance your results:
- Apply an SPF 50 twice daily.
- Refrain from facial waxing for 21 days after treatment.
- Minimise sun exposure for 14 days following treatment.
- It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 7 days post-treatment.
- Avoid any aesthetic procedures (including Botulinum Toxin, Facial Fillers, and Threads) for 2 weeks prior to any skincare treatment and for 3 – 6 weeks following the iPixel Skin Resurfacing treatment.
