If you are looking for a quick and non-invasive way to dramatically rejuvenate your skin, you may consider a new laser treatment called Pearl™. After just one session you can enjoy clearer, smoother and more even-toned skin.
What exactly is Pearl™ laser treatment?
Pearl™ is a safe "Laser Peel" that removes a layer of old damaged skin revealing smooth, even-toned skin with a pearly sheen. A laser peel, also known as laser skin resurfacing, is a popular cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates the skin by removing the skin's top layers through focused laser light energy. Newer, younger skin replaces the older, dead outer layers, bringing out a smoother and tighter complexion that is more even in tone, texture and color.
How does Pearl™ work?
During the procedure, the top layer of skin is treated with pulses of light in a pre-selected pattern. The laser simultaneously sends heat to the deeper layers of skin to provide longer-term benefits. A natural protective dressing forms on the skin to minimize downtime during the restorative process. On day 3 or 4, this natural dressing will peel or slough off, leaving new, healthy, vibrant skin underneath.
Benefits of Pearl™ include:
- Only 1-2 treatments are needed for good results.
- Very effective for the treatment of fine lines, uneven texture and superficial pigment.
- Unlike other ablative laser treatments Pearl™ has only a few days of recovery time.
- Pearl-like quality to the skin that you do not see with IPL or other lasers.
Who would benefit from using Pearl™?
Pearl™ is suitable for anyone interested to have more youthful looking skin, or to treat a skin problem like:
- fine lines and wrinkles
- rough skin texture and large pore size
- sun-induced discolouration and pigmentation
- acne scars and signs of aging
It's suitable for those who want the benefits of laser treatment but cannot afford multiple treatments or the usual downtime of 7-14 days of other laser treatments.
What is the procedure of the laser treatment like?
The treatment session is about 60 minutes, which includes 20 minutes of laser treatment and a Gentlewaves LED treatment immediately after to improve the skin's healing process. To prepare your skin for the treatment, please avoid exposure to the sun for at least 2 weeks. For 3 days prior to the treatment, It's also better not to use any Retin A or other irritating skin products.
What to expect during your treatment?
- First, topical anesthesia is applied. You will then rest for a while for the anesthetic to take effect.
- Your skin and surrounding areas are then prepared for the laser. The skin is thoroughly cleansed, and laser-protective goggles are placed over your eyes.
- The laser, a wand-like device, is passed over the areas to be treated, and the laser emits a beam of light which vaporizes the top layers of damaged skin in a precise and controlled manner. As the laser peel is performed, a popping sound is heard, but no pain is felt. Cold air is blown onto the treated area to minimize any discomfort.
- A cooling preparation is applied to the skin to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- A protective barrier is then applied to the skin, which usually consists only of a healing ointment and sunscreen.
After the treatment
Recovery time will take about 4 days after which you will enjoy smoother more radiant skin.
