Pearl Fractional Laser Treatment Effective as Acne Scar Removal

Contrary to the beliefs that acne scars is not treatable, more and more people who have tried Laser Pearl Treatment and find it very effective in finally healing the scars.

 

The Pearl Fractional is a new volumizing fractional laser perfected for photoaging in just one treatment. Pearl Fractional offers the best combination of patient experience and recovery time. Patients will see improvements in photodamage, tone and texture as well as a noticeably smoother, brighter complexion.

 

The Pearl Fractional Laser treatment can be done per sessions, the number of sessions may vary based on the patient’s type of acne scars.

 

US dermatologist Suzan Obagi said that anyone looking to prevent acne scars should seek professional help, especially for acne that resides under the skin.

 

Joe Deiuliis said his acne scars have always made him self-conscious, but when he heard about Pearl Fractional Laser treatment, he said he decided to finally do something about it.

 

"Since I've been a kid I've had acne, and the acne went away but I had some scarring and I wasn't comfortable with myself, so I decided to get something done, said Deiuliis, now 44.

 

Channel 4 Action News anchor Michelle Wright was there when he underwent his second procedure with Dr. Suzan Obagi, of UPMC.

 

Obagi added that said patients will appear sunburned during the downtime after the procedure and should not wear makeup.

 

The cost for the treatment can range from $250 to $1,500.

 

"They will treat the skin, but with each treatment, they will only hit about 25 or 30 percent of the skin per pass. So, they leave a lot of skip areas in between that will quickly come back and heal the wound," said Obagi.

 

 

Obagi said that anyone looking to prevent acne scars should seek professional help, especially for acne that resides under the skin.

 

"Those types of acne tend to leave behind scarring, so the sooner we can intervene with topical medication, oral antibiotics or for some patients, even Accutane, than we can hopefully halt the progression and minimize any scarring," said Obagi.

 

To guard against wrinkles, Obagi advises not smoking and protecting skin from the sun.

 

"The number one thing you want to look for is a sunblock that's going to protect you every day. People are under the misconception that you only need sunscreens in spring and summer, which is great to prevent sunburns, but you don't realize that the aging rays of the sun is UVA or ultraviolet, and that's consistent all year long, even in Pittsburgh," said Obagi.
