Do you have any opinion on the Pearl laser? Is it gentler than other lasers on the market and would it be better for someone with very sensitive fair skin?
Also, what is the difference in using a Pearl laser (or other laser) to improve complexion vs a chemical peel?

hi,
i have not used the pearl laser myself, nor do i know of anyone who has it. i have taken a look at the wavelength and specs for the laser and read some of the MD comments and i can’t say that i am very impressed. its tough to get good results with the minimally invasive lasers and pearl sounds like it may be a little less effective than fraxel. i prefer the active fx for skin resurfacing. it gets the job done in one session, as opposed to 3 to 5 with fraxel. i don’t really like chemical peels very much – they are more destructive than lasers for the most part and you can’t control a chemical peel like you can a laser.
