How It Works
Laser skin resurfacing, aka Pearl, works by using laser technology to remove the top layer of skin, also known as the epidermis. The epidermis works as a protective layer between you and the environment, and when it is removed, it causes your body to start the healing process and increase collagen and elastin production.
Collagen and elastin are two proteins that will help rebuild the epidermis, correcting long-standing discoloration or texture issues in the meantime. With multiple treatments, you can minimize aesthetic concerns like wrinkles, scarring, and more.
Benefits

The Laser Skin Resurfacing Process
Step 1: Consultation
Your first appointment at The Well Westlake will be a consultation where you will meet with one of our providers to create your custom treatment plan. You will talk about your aesthetic concerns and medical history, which will help inform your provider on which and how many treatments would best suit your goals.
Step 2: Treatment
Your treatment process will begin with your provider cleaning your skin and then applying a topical numbing solution to help you remain comfortable during your appointment. Then, your provider will gently use the laser applicator to remove the epidermis layer of your skin.
Step 3: Recovery
While you will need downtime for this treatment, the amount will vary from client to client. It would be best to talk with your provider about possible side effects and how you might adjust your daily activities to allow your skin time to heal after undergoing Laser Skin Resurfacing in Cleveland.
