Who is a candidate for a Pearl treatment?
Patients of any age with sun damage, uneven skin texture, fine lines, and wrinkles can benefit from Pearl treatments, however, the most common age group seeking treatment is between 25-60.
When will I see results?
You will see noticeable results on day 3 or 4, when the superficial tissue has peeled off, leaving fresh, new, healthy skin underneath.
What can I expect after the treatment?
After treatment, the skin will look like it is sunburned. Your practitioner will apply ointment on the skin to keep it moist. The skin will need to be kept moist for 3–4 days. Since you cannot wear sunscreen during this time, you will need to wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure for a few days following the treatment. Typically you are free to wear make-up starting on day 4. After 3-4 days, the top layer of skin peels off revealing new, healthy, vibrant skin underneath.
What is a Pearl treatment like?
The practitioner guides the Pearl laser over the skin, gently removing the top layer of the epidermis and heating a layer of tissue below it. The treatment feels like a series of brief pinches.
What is 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.

How does Pearl compare to other like laser treatments?

Today’s fractionated technologies typically address more serious flaws, in addition to the fact that they require more wound care and have longer social downtimes associated with them.
How many treatments are recommended?
Many patients experience excellent results after one treatment. Others may want a second treatment for best results.
Does Cutera have an FDA clearance for the Pearl laser?
