White Bumps After Pearl Laser

White bumps after Pearl
Small white bumps (milia) that resemble pimples (but aren't) are very common after Pearl.

White bumps after a Pearl laser are temporary and will go away.
The white bumps you describe are called "milia" and are areas where the epidermis that is resurfacing the skin has block a superficial gland. As you maintain hygiene of your skin by washing, these can be teased away with a Q-tip or wash cloth. They may remerge for a few weeks but will ultimatey quit forming.
