Pearl Laser
Dull, uneven pigmented, sun damaged skin can add years on to our appearance, but now there is a revolutionary treatment that can help to rejuvenate the skin for a smoother, younger looking look and feel—the Pearl Laser. FDA approved since 2007 the Pearl laser by Cutera is an outpatient procedure that gently removes the top layer of skin and heats the dermis below. Indicated for use in alleviating sun damage, uneven texture, fine lines and wrinkles, the Pearl can benefit men and women of all ages, with the majority of those seeking treatments between the ages of 25 and 60. Results reveal smoother skin texture, softening of fine line and wrinkles on the face, neck chest and hands.
Unlike fractional lasers, the Pearl Laser will treat the entire skin surface, thereby requiring fewer treatments for a desired result, 2 as opposed to 3-4. Treatments can be done with topical anesthetic and take 10-15 minutes for a full face. It is reported the laser feels like a series quick snaps, with minimal pain. Many patients report being satisfied after only one treatment. The benefit of the Pearl laser is minimal side effects. Redness or pinkness to the ski for 3-4 days after treatment is expected and there is no follow up wound care. As with all laser treatments, results are temporary and re treatment will be needed in the future. Consult with your aesthetic practitioner to see if the Pearl laser is right for you.
