They are ideal for targeting the nose-to-mouth lines, lines that run from the corner of your mouth to your chin and vertical lip lines.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser Skin Resurfacing is a great innovative treatment to rejuvenate damaged skin and tackle signs of ageing.
There are three types of Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment available; Pearl, Pearl Fractional and Pearl Fusion.
Pearl is often most suitable for finer wrinkles whereas Pearl Fractional is often used for deeper wrinkles. Pearl Fusion is a combination of both treatments and may be suggested for deeper wrinkles too.
The treatments involve pulses of light being emitted to the skin in a pre-selected pattern. The heat of the laser works to target the deeper tissues under the skin surface which helps to generate new collagen productions which results in an overall smoother skin. The skin will immediately form a type of natural protective dressing which helps to minimise downtime and instantly start the skin restoration process.
Name: Laser Skin Resurfacing, Pearl Skin Resurfacing, Pearl Fractional, Pearl Fusion
Pain: Mild, topical anaesthetic can be applied to minimise discomfort
Length of treatment: 20 – 30 mins
Downtime: 5-8 days – your skin will go through a peeling process 3-5 days post treatment.
Results: Results can start to be seen after one treatment and healing takes place over 5-7 days. The best results are seen after a course of treatment.
Number of treatments required: Course of 3 treatments spaced a month apart.
Cost: Starts from £500
Locations: London Harley Street
