Pearl™ and Pearl Fractional
Pearl Laser Treatment
The Pearl laser procedure can help renew your skin’s surface — in one or two treatments — minimizing:
- wrinkles
- uneven texture
- discoloration
Pearl laser treatment may be right for you if you have:
- light to medium skin tone
- mild to moderate sun damage
How it works
During Pearl laser treatment, the top layer of skin is treated with pulses of light and the deeper layers of skin are heated. You will feel a mild pinching sensation.
A natural “dressing” immediately forms on the skin.
Treatments take about 15 minutes.
After treatment
- For a few days after Pearl laser treatment, your face will feel and appear sunburned.
- During this time, you may continue your normal daily activities, but may wish to limit social activities.
- The dressing peels off, three to four days after treatment, to reveal new, healthy skin.
- At this point, you can wear makeup.
Pearl Fractional Laser Treatment
Pearl Fractional is a deep fractional laser used to treat moderate to severe sun damaged or aging skin on the entire face.
Ideal candidates for Pearl Fractional treatment are those with:
- light to medium skin tones
- skin imperfections due to aging and sun damage
How it works
Pearl Fractional laser treatment stimulates your body’s own collagen-producing process to plump the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and other imperfections.
During treatment, you will feel fast, hot pinches as the laser pulses remove damaged skin.
A topical anesthetic cream will be applied prior to treatment to alleviate most of the discomfort.
After treatment
- Your skin will feel sunburned and may be slightly swollen.
- Recovery time is about five days.
- Results are visible about one week after treatment, with maximum results appearing in one to three months.
- Most patients experience desired results with just one treatment.
