We have been using the PEARL lasser for over a year now (FDA approved 5/07) and are very pleased with the results.To date, we have done over 100 patients. It is comfortable with only BLT numbing cream and takes about 20 minutes to perform. It provides brand new epidermal skin with just 3-4 days of social downtime, while providing heat to the deep dermis resulting in significant texture improvement over the next 4-6 months. One treatment will remove 60-80% of brown pigment, and we are now able to use it on most Fitzpatrick 4 skin types. It can be used to treat the eyelids to the lash margins and can be used on necks, chests, and hands. If you have redness, I would suggest combining it with Laser Genesis. Overall, it has been a very nice addition to our cosmetic practice and I can recommend it without reservation.
