Acne Treatment GuideAny signs of acne should be treated as soon as possible. The longer acne is left to progress without treatment, the higher the possibility of scarring. Acne treatment primarily depends on the type of acne and its severity. Your dermatologist can best prescribe the appropriate treatment for your acne but it pays for you to be knowledgeable about this skin condition. Here are some of the common procedures in treating acne.
Acne Skin GuideInfrared technology of aesthetic laser systems can be used to treat textural issues from acne. However, it is very important to control the breakouts prior to starting any treatment. Laser Genesis is effective to help decrease the redness and improve textural issues of mild acne scars.
Laser based technology may be combined with a chemical peel in an acne skin care treatment plan. Laser Genesis is often used to address both diffuse redness and textural issues of acne.

How does Pearl provide immediate results in one treatment while a Fraxel Laser Treatment typically requires 3 treatments to start seeing results and 5+ treatments to complete? The answer is in the method of delivery. Fractional laser devices only treat a small fraction of the skin with each treatment. This means even after 3 treatments, only 50% of the skin is actually treated. Pearl safely and consistently treats both the entire thickness and surface area of the epidermis in one treatment. Treating the entire epidermis removes pigmented lesions, improves texture, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles - the primary signs of mild to moderate photo aging.
Pearl's wavelength (2790 nm YSGG) is the key that enables it to safely treat the entire epidermis. This wavelength enables the laser to penetrate through the entire epidermis in a single treatment with the right balance of thermal stimulation. During delivery, the top 1/3 of the epidermis is immediately removed and the remaining 2/3 is coagulated - meaning 100% of the epidermis is treated. The controlled depth of heating and coagulation provided by the wavelength provides two additional benefits. First, it provides a natural protective layer on the skin preventing any bleeding or oozing post treatment. Second, it stimulates collagen growth in the papillary dermis beneath the D/E junction. The coagulated tissue peels off after 3-4 days, unveiling a new completely re-epithelialized epidermis void of many of the signs of mild to moderate photo aging.
This fresh epidermis is new from the D/E junction up. This means pigmented lesions stemming from the basal cells at the bottom of the epidermis are replaced with new normal cells. Pearl's treatment of the entire epidermis, in both coverage and thickness, provides better results on pigment in just one session than multiple IPL treatments. Further, the body's natural response to laser treatments to the D/E junction is to stimulate new fibroblast growth. New fibroblast activity results in collagen stimulation helping to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. This process occurs more gradually meaning results from a single Pearl treatment continue to improve for as much as 6 to 9 months.
Pearl's depth and three mechanisms of action (immediate ablation, immediate coagulation, and stimulation in the upper dermis) are misunderstood by many people. Pearl provides immediate visible results in mild to moderate photo damage in just 1 treatment by utilizing these three mechanisms of action while treating the entire surface area of the face. Further, because of the laser's controlled water absorption, treatments are safe, reproducible and consistent from person to person, removing the guess work.
