How does the Pearl treatment work?
During the procedure, the top layer of skin is treated with pulses of light in a pre-selected pattern. The laser
simultaneously sends heat to the deeper layers of skin to provide longer-term benefits. A natural protective
dressing forms on the skin to minimize downtime during the restorative process. On day 3 or 4, this natural
dressing will peel or slough off, leaving new, healthy, vibrant skin underneath.
In a short time, patients will notice overall skin clarity, smoothness and softness - all from a 15 minute
treatment with only 3 - 4 days of “social” downtime.
What is “social” downtime?
Downtime is the time spent recovering from a procedure. With “social” downtime, you can continue your
normal daily activities. However, you may not wish to attend important social events because your face will
appear pink/red for 3 - 4 days.
How does a Pearl treatment feel?
The Pearl treatment feels like a series of brief pinches. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 representing pain, most
patients report the treatment feeling like a 2 or 3.
When will I see results? How soon can I wear make-up after a Pearl treatment?
Results are noticeable by day 3 or 4 when the superficial tissue has peeled off, leaving fresh, new, healthy
skin underneath. Make-up may be applied at this time.
Are there any restrictions on my activity after a Pearl treatment?
After treatment, the skin will look and feel mildly sunburned. You will apply ointment on the skin for 3 – 4
days. Since you cannot wear sunscreen during this time, you will need to wear protective clothing and limit
sun exposure for a few days after the treatment.
How many treatments are recommended?
Some patients may require two treatments spaced approximately one month apart to achieve the desired
results. Other patients may need only one treatment.
Can Pearl be part of a combination therapy treatment?
Yes, patients may choose to have a Pearl treatment followed by separate visits for 3D Skin Rejuvenation,
Titan, or injectables. Discuss combination therapies with your practitioner.
How does Pearl compare to other laser treatments?
Pearl offers the most effective treatment to address fine lines, uneven texture and discoloration without
wound care and the lengthy downtime required with certain Erbium and CO2 laser procedures.
Compared to today’s fractionated technologies, Pearl offers noticeable results in just one treatment versus 4
– 6 fractionated treatments.
Who is a candidate for a Pearl treatment?
Patients with light to medium skin tones and mild to moderate sun damage are the ideal candidates.
Does Cutera have FDA clearance for the Pearl laser?
Yes, Cutera received FDA clearance in March 2007 for the treatment of wrinkles.
More about the Pearl
Pearl
There is growing demand among patients and practitioners for a more aggressive treatment to address
wrinkles and uneven texture while minimizing the recovery time experienced from other ablative technologies.
With a 2790 nm wavelength, the Pearl laser provides a technology to meet these market demands;
maximizing the ratio of cosmetic benefit to patient downtime.
Mechanism of action
These treatment goals can be achieved with the appropriate technology, wavelength, and settings.
Ablation: The safe removal of a portion of the epidermis is achieved with a controlled amount of
vaporization. 10-30 microns of epidermis are vaporized in this process.
Coagulation: Simultaneously, sufficient heat to produce coagulation is generated in the remaining
epidermis. Depending upon selected energy, the coagulation region can vary from partial to full epidermal
damage. This coagulation region creates a natural protective dressing on the skin that remains intact during
the restorative process.
Collagen Remodeling: Finally, residual heat in the dermis generates new collagen grow

The Pearl procedure treats fine lines on the face and neck,
uneven skin texture and light & dark spots caused by sun damage.
Pearl requires fewer treatments and less overall downtime than other
technologies.
During treatment, a fine layer of the skin is removed. But Pearl is
different in that it is only mildly ablative. While it does remove a fine
layer of the skin, the skin is left intact to serve as a protective dressing
while the skin below the surface heals.
Down time is 3 to 4 days as opposed to years ago, when resurfacing
came with weeks or months of down time.
