The trusted providers at Old Town Med Spa, home to Drs. Nael and Shazel Gharbi, two of Chicago’s leading cosmetic surgeons, offer unmatched care when performing this laser therapy. Remember, though, that the glow you’re hoping for depends just as much on what you do afterward as what happens during your appointment.

The days following your procedure are crucial. This blog explains how to support your skin for fast and proper healing.

What to Expect After a Pearl Laser Session

Following this service, you’ll likely notice redness, mild swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation. This is completely normal and usually peaks within the first two to three days. Light peeling and flaking may also occur as your skin regenerates.

Proper aftercare can:

  • Promote faster healing
  • Prevent complications
  • Extend the treatment’s benefits

Essential Pearl Laser Aftercare Tips

Here are some practical steps you can take to ensure the best results.

Keep Your Skin Hydrated

Hydration is critical. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to prevent dryness and promote barrier repair. Your provider may recommend a post-procedure cream specifically for laser-treated skin.

Avoid Sun Exposure

UV-ray sensitivity increases after the appointment. Stay out of direct sunlight for a few days and apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. This is important even if you’re staying indoors, as you can still be exposed to the sun through windows.

Skip Makeup for a Few Days

Let your skin breathe. Don’t wear makeup until your provider gives you the green light, typically around day 4 or 5.

Use a Gentle Cleanser

Wash your face with lukewarm water and a non-abrasive cleanser. Avoid scrubs, exfoliants, and products containing alcohol.

Keep Your Hands Off!

Don’t pick, peel, or scratch flaking skin. This can cause irritation or even scarring.

Trust Your Skin to the Experts

Taking care of your skin after Pearl laser treatment is simple but essential. With the right practices, you’ll enjoy a brighter, more youthful look and long-lasting results.

laser skin resurfacing

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your skin, then you may want to consider laser skin resurfacing. The experts who perform this procedure know how to use the laser correctly so that it emits concentrated and short pulses of light at your skin to treat a variety of conditions. Your facial or body skin can change as part of the natural aging process, or you might have sun damage on your skin that leads to an unattractive appearance. First, you will need an evaluation of your skin during a consultation with an expert. Each procedure is customized to meet the needs of the patient, but an expert at Old Town MedSpa can offer advice concerning the best ways to treat the skin with the laser.

What Conditions Can Laser Skin Resurfacing Improve?

Laser skin resurfacing is used for a variety of conditions, especially on the face. Some of these conditions can include:

  • A reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Eliminating areas of sun damage
  • Reducing uneven skin texture
  • Treating dark spots and other hyperpigmented areas

You could require one or more laser skin resurfacing sessions to overcome a problem with your body or facial skin, but an expert will explain the process before you begin the treatment.

What are the Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing?

There are several benefits that can come from laser skin resurfacing, including convenient treatment sessions that are performed in the comfort of our office. Your treatment sessions are scheduled at your convenience.

To learn more about laser skin resurfacing with our professionals at Old Town MedSpa in Chicago, simply schedule a consultation. Contact our office today to book your appointment and get started. We look forward to speaking with you!
