I Have Done Fractional Pearl Lazer Around the Eyes 3 Weeks Ago, when Do I See the Results?

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser.  Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

At 6 weeks you will begin to see improvement, and  at 6 months, the results will be close to mature. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

As the redness subsides you should be seeing a positive response of the texture and wrinkles on the skin where you were treated. Improvements will keep happening for another 2 to 3 months as collagen is stimulated and grow.  Also, consider getting Botox injections to help maintain the results of the laser resurfacing.

Results should be presenting by now. About  6- 8% of the skin treated is more or less removed and that by itself should improve your skin. Some collagen deposition takes place over 2-3 months which should further improve the results.

Sheri G. Feldman, MD · Answer

You should start to see results after the redness fades.  The tissue around the eyes is very delicate so this may take some time.  Your results are dependent on your pre-treatment problem, the amount of energy that was used, the number of passes that were done and the spacing of the individual tiny dots created by the laser.   No laser is perfect for everyone, but the results from a Pearl Fractional treatment are usually excellent.
