    I just want to share with you that I had the pearl treatments and mine ended up terribly infected and I had to spend a week in the hospital so PLEASE keep and eye on it and be very careful. It was the worst experience of my life. I never would have done it if I would have known then what I know now. It destroyed my face completely. I wasted $2,000 dollars and now have a huge hospital bill too.

    This is terrible. I feel your pain. I had the Pearl treatments and it destroyed my face too. Not only are my melasma spots worse but it got infected and scarred. I am only 34 and I am left with this mess on my face that will never go away! I was definitely misinformed of the risks vs benefits and told this would "take away" all the spots permenantly. It is ashame that this happens. I will never let anyone touch my face again and have lost faith in providers, and I work in the medical field. I will be thinking of you and your recovery.

    I absolutely agree with you. I had 3 Pearl laser treatments and the doctor told me before the first one that it would "completely get rid of my melasma permenantly." If I had known the truth about what the outcome would be I NEVER would have done it. I am now left with even worse spots, scars and it ended up getting infected and I spent a week in the hospital. They didnt even take care of the bill for destroying my face.

    I had 3 Pearl laser treatments on my face for melasma and not only did it not work, but it made the spots worse. It also got badly infected and I ended up in the hospital for a week on IV antibiotics. I am now left with scars as well. I had the first one in May, then again at the end of June and then in August. It literally destroyed my face. I have to wear very expensive make up and still put a few different creams on my face 2 times a day just to go outside. It was a very traumatic experience that I will have to live with forever now and I am only 34.

    I had the 3 Pearl laser treatments on my face for melasma and not only did it not work, I am left with even darker, more prominent spots, it got infected, I had to spend a week in the hospital, and I am now scarred because of it. It was very painful as well. I do not recommend this procedure for anyone for anything. It destroyed my face and now I have to wear a lot of make up and my face will never be the same. It was a very traumatic experience for me that I will never recover from.
