Pearl

Acne scarring is one of the most common flaws in mature skin and doesn’t respond well to topical therapies. Now the amazing PEARL ablative laser offers a safer alternative to surgical abrasion or overpowered and dangerous CO2 lasers for those with moderate to mild acne scarring. While nothing short of surgery will deal with deep “icepick” scars, the PEARL with its depth limited YSGG laser, provides significant improvement or complete removal of mild to moderate acne scarring. While surgical dermabrasion, or CO2 laser ablation take weeks to months to recover from, the PEARL offers results with just 4 days of ‘social downtime’ with minimal discomfort after each treatment. Often just 2 treatments is all that is required. Because of the significant improvements to the treated skin, the entire face is treated with special emphasis on the scarred areas; spot treatment is therefore not offered.
