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 and skin imperfections due to:
- Acne scars
- Deep wrinkles
- 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 place tiny holes in the skin and selectively remove columns of damaged tissue. The treatment stimulates your body’s natural process for creating new collagen, plumping the skin from below to reverse the appearance of skin imperfections, which may shorten healing time.
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.
- Skin can continue to improve for up to six months after treatment.
