Skin concerns such as acne scars, uneven texture, sun damage, and fine lines can be difficult to treat with topical products alone. For patients looking to improve overall skin quality and stimulate deeper renewal, advanced resurfacing treatments can offer meaningful results.
At Derma Skin Institute in Guelph, we offer Pixel RF skin resurfacing, a non-laser energy treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with micro-plasma technology to improve skin tone, texture, and firmness with controlled downtime.

What Is Pixel RF?
Pixel RF is a fractional skin resurfacing treatment that uses a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and micro-plasma technology to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, Pixel RF does not rely on light energy. Instead, it delivers heat into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, supporting skin renewal while leaving surrounding tissue intact to aid in healing. This approach allows for effective resurfacing with a balance of results and recovery time.
What Does Pixel RF Treat?
Pixel RF is used to address a range of concerns related to skin texture, tone, and overall quality.
Common concerns treated include:
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Pigmentation and skin discolouration
- Sun Damage
Pixel RF can be performed on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, back, and other areas where skin resurfacing is desired.
How Does Pixel RF Work?
Pixel RF delivers controlled RF and micro-plasma energy into the skin, creating microscopic zones of thermal injury. These targeted areas stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin.
Because the treatment is fractional, surrounding untreated skin helps accelerate healing and recovery. As the skin repairs itself, patients typically notice improvements in texture, firmness, and overall skin clarity, with continued results developing over time.
Why Choose Derma Skin Institute for Pixel RF?
Effective skin resurfacing requires both the right technology and an experienced clinical approach. At Derma Skin Institute, Pixel RF treatments are performed by Dr. Sajic, who tailors each treatment based on your skin type, concerns, and tolerance for downtime.
Pixel RF may also be incorporated into a broader treatment plan to support long-term skin health and rejuvenation.
Patients choose Derma Skin Institute because we emphasize:
- Dermatology-led expertise
- Advanced resurfacing technologies
- Personalized treatment planning
- Results-focused, medically guided care
How many Pixel RF treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your specific skin concerns and desired outcome. Most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced approximately one month apart.
Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Does Pixel RF hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to improve comfort. Most patients describe the procedure as tolerable, with mild discomfort during certain areas of the treatment.
What can I expect after a Pixel RF treatment?
After treatment, the skin may feel similar to a sunburn, with some redness and mild swelling in the first few days. As the skin heals, dryness and light flaking may occur as new skin replaces the treated tissue. These effects are temporary and part of the normal healing process.
How long is the recovery time?
Recovery varies depending on treatment intensity, but most patients experience a few days of redness and mild swelling. Your provider will guide you on post-treatment care and expected downtime based on your treatment plan.
