“Pearl laser on eyelids, forehead, around my eyes and mouth”
Pearl laser: Worth it
Cost: $1,600
Pain: Mild
Pain: Mild
Pearl laser satisfaction: Fair
I recommend my Pearl laser provider: Name not provided
Why: He is very knowledgeable and the staff is wonderful.
I had pearl laser on my whole face and pearl fractional laser done on my eyelids, forehead, around my eyes and mouth.
It has now been 30 days and I am still a deep red color and have a honey-comb texture to the areas where the fractional laser was done.
Pros- didn't hurt
Cons - I still won't go out, I've become depressed and frantic. I can't cover this redness up even with makeup.
Is this normal to be this red after 30 days and to have the laser pattern left on my face?

I've been thinking about Pearl Fractional myself, also in St. Petersburg. I'm interested in as much as you can share about it, and would love to hear from others who are farther out after treatment. What does the doctor say about the redness? Is it improving, though perhaps too gradually? I'm wishing you the best. Please don't be depressed. You are doing the right thing by reaching out to others. We are here to support and help in any way we can. If you could get out even a little it would probably make you feel better. Try a small outing with a buddy. Go at night if that would make you more comfortable. If you have someone you trust, they could tell you if you are being too hard on yourself about the results.

I just your post of July 7th. Has there been any improvment?

Yes, within two weeks there has been a great improvement. The redness has really gone down and I'm not having the outbreaks. I just needed to be patient. The wrinkles really did diminish.
