I guess the test last week was not so good judging from the response. A few people really loved it so I may consider doing another in a few months....maybe on breasts...lift vs augmentation alone....or....faces, mini vs. full face lift....we'll see.
Today I want to discuss the Pearl laser. Lasers have come a long way in the past 10 years. We have gone from a technology looking for a procedure to actually being able to make a huge difference in a number of skin issues. The great thing is that recovery times and safety have jumped in leaps and bounds.
There are many reasons to choose laser skin resurfacing. What resurfacing can do is:
1. Reduce facial skin discolorations such as brown "age spots" and other discolorations. These are caused by sun damage and age.
2. Reduce fine lines and wrinkles in the face, neck, under the eyes, and crows feet.
3. Shrink pores that are enlarged.
4. Improve acne scarring.
5. Improve skin color and texture.
6. Improve vertical lip lines.
Why the Pearl?? The Pearl laser is fairly new technology that is similar to the CO2 laser. What makes it good? There are a number of reasons the pearl is superior. First is recovery time. The recovery time from the average treatment is only about 4 days. This means that new skin reforms quickly, much quicker than the CO2. Second is cost. The cost of the Pearl treatment is $1200. Compared to the CO2 this is less than half. Third, you don't need general anesthesia. We usually do the procedure with some mild oral sedation and topical anesthesia.
The Pearl is made by Cutera..hit this link for more technical information. Here is also a video from The Doctors that talks more about it.
