Depending on your Pearl Treatment
Depending on the type of Pearl Laser treatment you are getting, it should not affect your Radiesse treatment. If you are receiving a more aggressive form, then yes, it may dissolve the dermal filler as the laser treatment may reach the level of the filler. But to be safe, you can ask your doctor if you should receive the Pearl Laser treatment

Lasers may affect Fillers
We have found that the heat produced from some lasers partially dissolve fillers if the laser treatments are performed within two months of injecting the fillers. We have seen this happen so consistently that we actually use the lasers to dissolve filler if patients come to us from other clinics unhappy with their fillers and want them removed. While hyaluronidase dissolves Juvederm and Restylane, Radiesse doesn't have an "eraser" like this so lasers, such as...

Since you have not had the filler yet, and are contemplating the laser treatment,...

Laser treatments could possibly cause Radiesse to dissolve faster.
Radiesse is usually injected deeper into the soft tissue (subcutaneous or subperiosteal). If the material is injected under the muscle, it may be hidden from the inflammation that is caused by the laser. If the injections are more superficial, the inflammation from the Pearl laser treatment could increase the rate of Radiesse break-down.
It might be better to schedule your Radiesse injections 2-3 weeks after the Pearl laser, after the redness/inflammation from the laser has mostly...
