Clear + Brilliant - What To Expect

Whether you’ve invested in your skin for years or you’re ready to begin, Sheletha King will customize your Clear + Brilliant treatment and support you along the way, helping you to protect and extend your investment to keep your skin looking its youthful best.

How To Prepare For Your Clear + Brilliant Treatment

In order to optimize your comfort and results from this treatment, there are certain things you must do before your appointment. For about one week before your appointment, avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and spray tans. Sun-damaged skin is more sensitive to the laser and can cause adverse effects. You should also stop using any potentially irritating skin care products containing ingredients like AHAs and retinol, and exfoliative scrubs and devices.

If you have a history of cold sores, we recommend you take an antiviral medication starting 24-48 hours before your treatment to prevent an outbreak, and continuing for three to five days after. Contact your primary care provider if you need prescription medication

During Your Clear + Brilliant Treatment

This minimally invasive session usually lasts about 60 minutes. Your treatment provider may apply a topical numbing cream on your skin to mitigate any discomfort, followed by guiding the handpiece over the treatment area. The treatment wraps up with the application of a topical antioxidant serum.

Clear + Brilliant Aftercare And Recovery Timeline

You may experience some redness and mild swelling, but both typically diminish in about 12 hours. Over the next few days, there can be some itchiness, dryness or skin sensitivity. Both are indications of the natural renewal process and typically dissipate a few days after treatment. We’ll discuss important features of aftercare, including specific products to use during the healing process to protect your skin barrier and enhance results. About two weeks post treatment your skin is healed and you’re ready to receive your next treatment!

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Clients notice visible improvements after 4-6 treatments, though most choose to have regular treatments as part of their overall skincare regimen. We will discuss a personalized treatment plan with you.

What Kind Of Results Can I Expect?

The results of treatment are both immediate and progressive. A few days after the treatment, your skin will start to feel softer, look brighter and show more even tone. Results can last for months depending on age, skin condition and how you protect your skin.

Can I Get Clear + Brilliant If I’ve Already Had Other Corrective Procedures?

Yes, absolutely. Clear + Brilliant is a great way to protect the investment you have made in your skin, maintaining, extending and helping to continually improve upon the results you’ve already seen. Clear + Brilliant treatments are complementary to most other cosmetic procedures, like peels, fillers and Dysport.

Is Clear + Brilliant Right For Me?

Clear + Brilliant is a beneficial treatment for women and men of all ages and skin types who want to be proactive in their skin care, addressing the early signs of aging or maintaining the healthy look of their skin. It will be the best fit for you IF:

• You have a skin care regimen that protects against the effects of aging
