  Pearl renews your skin’s surface with quick, visible results. Pearl treats fine lines on the face and neck, uneven skin texture and light & dark spots caused by sun damage. The top layer of the skin is treated and a portion of the epidermis(skin surface) is gently removed with pulses of light. After 3-5 days the protective dressing peels off revealing new healthy, vibrant skin underneath. The pearl laser treatment stimulates new collagen growth, filling out and decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. New collagen growth continues for 4-6 weeks post-treatment.
