The MiXto SX (MiXto SX stands for the Mixture between CO2 energy & fractional resurfacing, and the SX stand for surgical) gives the Physician more control to regulate the depth of penetration and the amount of heat delivered by the beam. The high-speed scanner, driven by a patented pending algorithm, divides the treatment area into four quadrants or “fractions” and skips the beam from quadrant to quadrant so that the most prolonged possible interval separates each strike. This process is repeated until the entire area is treated. Dividing energy this way allows maximum time for thermal cooling of the tissue, less pain for the patient, and faster recovery. The treatment will last between 30 minutes to 1 hour. Most of the patients only need one treatment session. However, some patients with profound and severe scars or wrinkles may require 2-3 treatments.

Before treatment, we will prepare you by applying a topical numbing cream to the areas of the skin to be treated. After treatment, the patient may experience some redness, swelling, and hyperpigmentation (tanning), but the skin will return to normal in 7-10 days. The result is usually seen after two weeks, and the patient will see the benefits by the time the skin is completely peeled and will continue to see results for up to six months with new collagen regeneration.
