It's as if I’m wearing a face mask, my skin is so dry and irritated and tight. I keep applying the cream but sleep is impossible. When I lay my head on my pillow it feels as if my nerves are on fire. I try not to talk as it hurts the skin around my mouth.īy the evening my skin feels raw. If you had a normal job you would have to stay at home. Luckily in my business it is just about acceptable to show the effects of a treatment at work. A couple tell me they thought I’d been on holiday and got badly sunburned. I have to go to work, and I explain to people that I have had a laser treatment. It is uncomfortably tight around my mouth. It looks stretched and shiny, like the skin of burns victims. My skin is now a mixture of bright red and leathery brown. I wake up dreading looking in the mirror. It is hot to touch and I feel as if I've been blowtorched. When they are wiped away, the skin underneath is very pink, and it has the texture of sandpaper. I look ashen, as my face is covered in what looks like white flakes of vapourised skin. I feel stressed and claustrophobic and I cannot wait for it to be over. By the last ten minutes I've really had enough. The area around my nose and mouth hurts most of all, and I feel myself flinching. By the time the doctor is working on they right side of my face, the anaesthetic has worn off and I’m in real pain.

As it goes on, I find it more and more painful. I was told the treatment would be about 20 minutes, which would be tolerable, but as this is a new procedure the doctor is taking it very slowly, so it takes about an hour. There is a flash of bright light and a smell of burning hair andĭuring: Jane suffered immense pain while the procedure was taking place and was left with raw, flaking skin an odd smell of burning The doctor tells me the treatment is starting and I feel a sensation like small patches of hot fat splashing on my skin. After half an hour my skin feels strange and numb, and I lie down on a couch, wearing a heavy pair of lead goggles to protect my eyes. The doctor carefully covers my face with a local anaesthetic cream. I'd love it to be clear, bright and sheeny, like it was in my twenties. I wanted the treatment because even though I eat well, exercise and take care of my skin, I used to be an avid sunbather.Īs a result I have brown patches of pigment on my forehead and around my eyes, my skin is slightly lumpy and coarse, and it lacks bounce and radiance. Is it really the painless alternative to deep peels, and is it worth it?īefore: One of the first people in the UK to try the Pearl laser, Jane Coffield suffered from brown pigment patches and lumpy course skin that lacked bounce and radiance Divorced and the mother of 14 year old daughter, she kept a diary of her experience.

Some downtime is essential if you want to see a noticeable effect but these do seem to minimize it.' Pearl has been so popular in the US that the UK launch had to be delayed as the manufacturer struggled to meet demand in America.ĭr Mike Comins, chief examiner for the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors says, 'These mild ablative lasers are quite new, but seem promising. This compares with at least two weeks of crusting and peeling and months of redness from previous Erbium laser resurfacing treatments. They say this can be achieved with only one or two 20-minute treatments with downtime of just three to four days. It's the first of a new generation of lasers using a unique light wavelength to safely remove a layer of old, damaged skin, revealing, say the manufacturers, perfect, even-toned skin with a pearly sheen. One of the most radical is the new Pearl laser. However, the study has provoked a flurry of activity in the beauty business, with new products being created to restore the clear, luminous skin of our youth. Those with the most even colour were considered the youngest and most attractive.īut for many of us age spots caused by sun damage, scars left by old pimples or cuts, and malasma, brown patches caused by hormonal changes, mean we look older than our years. The scientists then removed any wrinkles and drooping jowls, and asked 400 volunteers to rate the faces by age. Researchers from the University of Vienna used a computer programme to create a virtual model with different skin tones taken from real women aged 10 to 70. A new study has shown that blotchy, uneven and dull skin can add up to twenty years to your apparent age, even if your face isn't lined or sagging. So you think it's just wrinkles that make you look older? Think again.
