What Is Pearl Fractional Laser Resurfacing?
The Cutera Pearl Fractional Laser is a fractional resurfacing system that delivers precise laser energy to micro-zones of the skin. Rather than treating the entire skin surface, fractional lasers treat “fractions” of the skin in a patterned grid.
​
-
The laser creates microscopic treatment zones, leaving surrounding tissue intact.
-
These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating new collagen and elastin production — the proteins responsible for firmness, elasticity, and smooth texture.
-
Over the following weeks, old or damaged skin layers are gradually replaced by fresh, healthy cells, resulting in improved texture, tone, and clarity.
Because only parts of the skin are treated in each session, fractional resurfacing generally results in reduced downtime, less discomfort, and faster recovery compared with traditional full-field laser resurfacing.
Benefits of our Pearl Laser Resurfacing
Smoother Texture & Even Skin Tone
Pearl resurfacing is effective for fading sun damage, age spots, pigment irregularities, and discoloration. The renewed collagen and skin turnover help even out tone and bring a brighter, more youthful complexion.
Reduced Appearance of Fine Lines, Mild Wrinkles & Scars
The controlled micro-injuries stimulate dermal remodeling, making skin appear firmer and smoother. This helps soften fine lines, mild wrinkles, and even superficial acne scars or other texture irregularities.
Minimal Downtime & Faster Healing
Because it’s fractional, Pearl allows for quicker healing than traditional ablative lasers. Many patients return to daily activities sooner while enjoying ongoing skin improvement as collagen rebuilds. Coppergate Clinic+1
Safe & Versatile for Many Skin Concerns
It’s a go-to for sun damage, dullness, minor scarring, uneven tone, and mild signs of aging — all without the extended recovery of more aggressive treatments. At our Tacoma med spa, we tailor each session to your skin type, history, and aesthetic goals.
Pearl Fractional vs. COâ‚‚ & Traditional Laser Resurfacing — What’s the Difference?
Traditional / COâ‚‚-Based Laser Resurfacing
-
Ablative lasers (like COâ‚‚) remove entire layers of skin in treated areas to reveal new skin. This can produce dramatic results, especially for deep wrinkles, deep scars, or significant sun damage.
-
Because large areas are treated, healing time is longer — often with redness, peeling, and downtime ranging from 1–2 weeks (or more) depending on treatment depth.
-
There’s a greater risk of side effects, including prolonged redness, pigment changes, or even scarring — especially if post-care or skin type isn't carefully managed.
Pearl Fractional Laser Resurfacing
-
Treats only a fraction of the skin surface with micro-zones, leaving healthy tissue intact for faster healing.
-
Encourages collagen remodeling with less aggressive tissue removal — minimizing downtime, discomfort, and risk.
-
Ideal for mild–moderate skin concerns (texture, tone, fine lines, mild scarring, sun damage) where patients want noticeable results without lengthy recovery.
