Uneven Skin tone and rough texture can make your skin look old and lackluster. This can be caused from years of having active acne, sun damage, poor diet or simply the natural aging process.
The Pearl is a new, fractional laser designed to improve imperfections due to aging, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, and sun damage. Peal fraction removes damage from below the skin and creates now fresh skin full of collagen. It plumps the skin from below to repair photodamage and other skin imperfections.
A pattern of light pulses treats both the top layer and deeper layers of skin, providing long-term benefits with minimal downtime. As you heal, your skin will form a thin protective barrier that will slough around day 3 or 4 after the procedure.
In a short time,you will notice overall skin improvements - all from a 15 minute treatment with only 3 - 4 days of “social” downtime.
Downtime is the time spent recovering from a procedure. With “social” downtime, you can continue your normal daily activities. However, you may not wish to attend important social events because your face will appear pink/red for 3 - 4 days.
The Pearl treatment feels like a series of fast hot pinches. A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin prior to treatment to alleviate some discomfort.
Results are noticeable by day 3 or 4 when the superficial tissue has peeled off, revealing healthy skin improvements. Make-up may be applied at this time.
After treatment, the skin will look and feel mildly sunburned. This lasts up to 72 hours.
Most patients will see significant improvements after just one treatment. In cases where there is severe scaring or sun damage, more treatments are necessary.
Anyone with light to medium skin tones and mild to moderate sun damage and acne scarring are ideal candidates, also skin imperfections due to aging.
