Laser Skin Resurfacing – Laser Genesis, Pearl, and Pearl Fractional
Over time, the natural aging process takes a toll on the appearance of our skin. Sun spots and pigment begin to appear, lines start to form around the eyes and lips and grooves appear at the corners of the mouth. Fortunately laser resurfacing combats all of these problems.
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment which uses Nd-Yag wavelength to penetrate the collagen layer of your skin and initiate contraction of the skin. This will help tighten large pores, smoothen fine lines, and reduce redness in the skin by thickening the skin.
Pearl
Pearl is a deeper laser peel that is used to address more aggressive sun damage while also toning the collagen damage in the skin. This is one of the most popular laser treatments at Limelight Medspa!
Pear Fractional
Pearl Fractional uses a special wavelength of laser light like the Pearl but is used to treat the deepest wrinkles in the face as well acne and traumatic scarring. It is the most aggressive laser treatment at Limelight and is the step used prior to any surgical resurfacing or treatments.
