Pearl™ is a laser resurfacing treatment that uses a unique wavelength of light to send heat to the deeper layers of the skin.
This stimulates collagen production for immediate and long-term anti-aging benefits not just for the lip area, but also for eyes, pores and minor facial sagging.
In addition to increasing collagen, Pearl™ safely exfoliates the top layer of the skin, helping to minimize fine lines around the lips.
During the procedure, Dr. Clinton treats the top layer of skin with pulses of light in a pre-selected pattern. Many patients describe the treatment as a series of intense but brief pinches, almost like a rubber band snapping the skin. As with any procedure that has the propensity to produce discomfort, Dr. Clinton offers a numbing cream prior to treatment.
Immediately after treatment, skin will be red and swollen with a honeycomb-like appearance. Later, the skin will form a natural, protective dressing that sloughs off within 3 to 4 days, however, most patients can expect 5 to 7 days of work and social downtime.
After treatment, most patients notice overall skin clarity, smoothness, softness and reduced pigmentation issues.
Optimal results are seen after 1 to 2 treatments, however, new collagen production will continue for up to 6 months.
Do not pick, peel, rub or irritate the skin while it heals. See complete treatment instructions.
