Aftercare for Cutera Pearl Treatment?

We instruct all of our patients in this manner:

Prepare a bowl of water and mix in your vinegar. Put a wash cloth in the bowl. Set bowl aside.
Then wash your face with the Cetaphil cleanser, but do not scrub your face. Get as much of the Vaseline off as possible.
Then wring out the wash cloth in your vinegar and water bowl and apply the wash cloth to your face. Once again do not scrub with the wash cloth. Go over your face gently. We suggest going over the face for about 20 minutes.
When finished immediately reapply your Vaseline.

We tell our patients once they peel they can discontinue the Vaseline and then go in to Cetaphil moisturizing cream. Then the patient (if female) can apply their makeup.

W have found found the entire Avene line made especially for post-procedure skin or sensitive skin very effective. A majority of our post Pearl and Pearl Fractional patients have used the Avene line vs. Aquaphor and Cetaphil. A week post laser and using the Avene products, patients have much less redness and healing time is much quicker. Plus you don't have the texture of the Aquaphor that is so thick and difficult to wash off. Avene allows your skin to breathe, and doesn't clog the pores or cause breakouts. Vinegar soaks also increase healing time and take out redness. Mix 1 cup water with 3 tsp. distilled vinegar. These soaks may be done several times a day for the first week of healing.

think of the soak as more of a compress - take a few soaked gauze and lay them over your face for about 20 minutes. In the first few days i suggest doing so every 2-3 hours. then apply a thin layer of aquaphor or another healing cream your provider may have given you. When you are ready for the next compress, gently wash the face, do NOT scrub it or you will irritate the skin.
