PiX:e in Woodbridge, VA
RF Microneedling
+ Laser Resurfacing
Reveal smoother, firmer, more refined skin with PiX:e, an advanced treatment that combines RF microneedling with Erbium YAG laser resurfacing in a single session. By targeting both the deeper layers of the skin and visible surface concerns, PiX:e can improve texture, fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, crepey skin, and overall skin quality for a brighter, more refreshed complexion.
| About PiX:e
Some skin concerns live on the surface. Others begin deeper within the skin. PiX:e is designed to address both.
At BeautiLab Aesthetics in Woodbridge, PiX:e allows us to combine the collagen-remodeling benefits of RF microneedling with the resurfacing power of an Erbium YAG laser in a single customized treatment. The result is a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation that can improve firmness and texture while also addressing visible signs of sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
Rather than following the same treatment protocol for every patient, our specialists tailor treatment depth and intensity to your skin, concerns, goals, and desired level of correction.

What Is PiX:e?
PiX:e by Rohrer Aesthetics is an FDA-cleared platform that combines two advanced technologies: 4 MHz RF microneedling and 2940 nm Erbium YAG laser resurfacing. It is designed to address both superficial skin damage and deeper dermal remodeling within a single treatment.
The RF microneedling component creates precise microchannels while delivering controlled radiofrequency energy below the skin's surface. This stimulates the natural processes that remodel collagen and elastin.
The Erbium YAG laser works closer to the surface, removing controlled amounts of damaged skin to encourage renewal and reveal smoother, clearer-looking skin underneath.
Together, these technologies can address concerns such as:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Uneven or rough skin texture
Enlarged pores
Hyperpigmentation and visible sun damage
Crepey skin
Mild skin laxity
Stretch marks
Dull or uneven skin tone
Overall skin quality
PiX:e can be adjusted to provide anything from more targeted fractional resurfacing to a more comprehensive rejuvenation treatment, depending on your individual needs.
How It Works
PiX:e approaches skin rejuvenation from two different depths.
RF Microneedling: Remodeling From Within
Ultra-fine needles enter the skin at a carefully selected depth while 4 MHz radiofrequency energy creates controlled heat within the dermis. This thermal response encourages collagen and elastin remodeling, helping the skin gradually become firmer, smoother, and more resilient.
PiX:e offers adjustable treatment depths from 0.1 mm to 4.0 mm, giving your provider precise control based on the area being treated and the concern being addressed.
Erbium YAG: Refining the Surface
After addressing the deeper tissue, the 2940 nm Erbium YAG laser can be used to resurface damaged outer layers of skin. This helps improve concerns that are more visible at the surface, including pigmentation, roughness, fine lines, and uneven texture.
Combining the two modalities allows BeautiLab to target multiple layers of the skin without requiring separate treatment plans.
The Benefits
Because PiX:e combines collagen remodeling with laser resurfacing, it can address several aspects of skin aging and damage at once.
Benefits may include:
Smoother, more refined skin texture
Firmer-looking skin
Softened fine lines and wrinkles
Improvement in acne scars
Reduced appearance of enlarged pores
More even-looking pigmentation
Brighter, clearer skin tone
Improvement in crepey or rough skin
Collagen and elastin stimulation
Customizable treatment depths and intensities
Continued improvement as the skin remodels
Face and body treatment capabilities
PiX:e is particularly appealing to patients who want to improve skin quality overall, rather than focusing on a single concern.
PiX:e vs. RF Microneedling
Both PiX:e and PiX:eel8-RF Microneedling stimulate collagen and elastin through radiofrequency microneedling. The primary difference is that PiX:e adds Erbium YAG resurfacing.
PiX:eel8-RF may be an excellent choice when concerns primarily involve firmness, pores, acne scarring, crepey skin, or collagen loss.
PiX:e may make more sense when deeper concerns are accompanied by noticeable surface damage, such as uneven pigmentation, rough texture, fine lines, or sun-damaged skin.
Think of PiX:eel8 as collagen remodeling from within, while PiX:e can combine that remodeling with visible resurfacing from the outside.
You do not need to determine which treatment is right for you before scheduling. During your consultation, our team can evaluate your skin and recommend the option best suited to your goals.
Are You a Good Candidate?
PiX:e may be appropriate if you want more comprehensive skin rejuvenation without undergoing surgical treatment.
You may be a good candidate if you:
Are bothered by uneven skin texture or tone
Want to soften fine lines and early wrinkles
Have acne scars or other textural irregularities
Notice sun damage or areas of pigmentation
Want firmer, smoother-looking skin
Have crepey or thinning-looking skin
Want to stimulate new collagen
Are interested in combining resurfacing and RF microneedling
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
Because PiX:e incorporates laser resurfacing, candidacy and treatment settings should be evaluated carefully based on your skin tone, medical history, medications, recent sun exposure, and current skin condition.
Patients who are pregnant, have active infections or open lesions in the treatment area, or have certain conditions that interfere with healing may need to postpone treatment. Your BeautiLab provider will review these factors with you before recommending PiX:e.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
No two PiX:e treatments need to look exactly the same. Your appointment is customized according to what your skin actually needs.
Consultation
We begin by evaluating your skin, discussing the changes you would like to see, and reviewing relevant medical and treatment history.
Your provider will determine the appropriate combination of RF microneedling depth, radiofrequency energy, and Erbium YAG resurfacing intensity for your treatment.
Treatment
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared before treatment. A topical numbing agent may be used to keep the experience as comfortable as possible.
During the RF microneedling portion, you may notice pressure, warmth, or a prickling sensation as energy is delivered into the skin. The Erbium YAG portion then precisely resurfaces the targeted areas according to your treatment plan.
Treatment time varies depending on the areas being addressed and the intensity of your customized protocol.
Aftercare
Recovery is directly related to the depth and intensity of your treatment.
After PiX:e, temporary redness, warmth, sensitivity, swelling, dryness, or flaking may occur as the skin begins its renewal process. More intensive resurfacing can require a longer healing period than lighter treatments.
Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions based on the settings used. In general, it is important to:
Protect treated skin from direct sun exposure
Apply broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen consistently
Avoid picking, peeling, or exfoliating healing skin
Temporarily stop retinoids, acids, and other irritating skincare products as directed
Keep the skin clean, hydrated, and protected
Follow all personalized post-treatment recommendations
When Will I See PiX:e Results?
PiX:e results develop in stages because the treatment works through both resurfacing and collagen remodeling.
As the outer layers of the skin renew, you may begin to notice a smoother texture, a brighter tone, and a more polished appearance. Deeper improvement continues gradually as new collagen and elastin develop beneath the surface.
The exact timeline depends on the intensity of your treatment, the concerns being addressed, and your body's natural healing response.
A series of three treatments is recommended for optimal results at BeautiLab, although your individual treatment plan may vary.
PiX:e Treatment Areas

PiX:e FAQs
-
Comfort varies depending on the area treated and the intensity of your customized treatment. A topical numbing agent may be applied before treatment to make the experience more comfortable. During RF microneedling, you may notice warmth, pressure, or a prickling sensation. Laser resurfacing may create additional warmth or sensitivity.
Your provider will adjust treatment parameters based on both your goals and your comfort.
-
Downtime depends on how aggressively your skin is treated. Because PiX:e offers adjustable RF microneedling depths and fractional or more intensive Erbium YAG resurfacing options, recovery is not identical for every patient.
Redness, swelling, warmth, dryness, and flaking can occur while the skin heals. A lighter treatment generally involves less recovery, while deeper resurfacing may require additional healing time. We will explain what to expect before your appointment so you can plan accordingly.
-
BeautiLab generally recommends a series of three treatments for optimal results, although treatment plans are personalized.
Someone seeking general skin rejuvenation may require a different plan than someone addressing significant acne scarring, pigmentation, or textural damage.
-
PiX:eel8-RF uses radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin below the skin's surface.
PiX:e combines 4 MHz RF microneedling with Erbium YAG laser resurfacing. This allows the treatment to address deeper collagen remodeling and superficial resurfacing during the same appointment.
If your concerns involve both skin firmness and visible surface damage, PiX:e may provide a more comprehensive approach.
-
Erbium YAG uses a 2940 nm wavelength to precisely remove controlled portions of damaged surface skin. It can be used to improve fine lines, uneven texture, pigmentation, and other superficial signs of damage while encouraging the renewal of fresh skin.
The depth and intensity can be adjusted according to your skin and treatment goals.
-
Yes, PiX:e may be particularly useful for acne scarring because the two technologies can address different components of the scar.
RF microneedling encourages remodeling deeper within the skin, while Erbium YAG resurfacing can help refine uneven surface texture. Acne scars vary significantly in type and depth, so your provider will first determine whether PiX:e is appropriate for your specific scarring.
-
PiX:e is designed to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone in addition to texture and signs of aging.
However, pigmentation should always be evaluated before laser treatment. Your provider will consider the type of pigmentation, your skin tone, recent sun exposure, and other factors before determining the safest treatment strategy.
-
The resurfacing portion of your results becomes visible as treated skin heals and renews, while collagen-related improvements develop more gradually.
How long results remain visible depends on your age, skin condition, sun exposure, skincare routine, lifestyle, and the effects of continued aging. Consistent sunscreen, medical-grade skincare, and appropriate maintenance treatments can help protect your results.
-
No. PiX:e can be used on several areas of the face and body. BeautiLab currently offers treatment for the full face, under-eyes, neck, décolletage, and hands. The PiX:e platform is also designed for treating areas including the chest, arms, abdomen, back, and thighs.
-
PiX:e may be a good choice if you are dealing with several skin concerns at once, particularly a combination of texture, pigmentation, fine lines, acne scarring, or mild laxity.
The best way to determine whether PiX:e, PiX:eel8-RF, another laser treatment, or a combination approach is right for you is through an in-person skin assessment at BeautiLab Aesthetics.
PiX:e combines RF microneedling and Erbium YAG resurfacing to target skin from the surface down, revealing smoother, firmer, brighter-looking skin with a treatment customized completely around you.
