Amazing results from Cutera's Pearl Fractional

William J. Hedden, MD answers: What's the best laser for skin resurfacing?

My dermatologist offers a laser treatment for skin "resurfacing" which is different from the laser at my favorite medispa. Are all lasers the same? How do I make sure they use the right one?

The Pearl Fractional has been a success in our practice for fine lines, deep wrinkles, large pores, and age spots.  Not only does it treat all of these visible signs of aging, but it actually boosts a growth of new collagen, with a short down-time period of only 7 days!  Down-time, meaning redness and flaking/peeling of the skin.  No, not all resurfacing lasers are the same.  To ensure you are getting a high-quality treatment, be sure the laser is at least a Class 4, which is the gold-standard, as is the Pearl Fractional.
