Clear + Brilliant
What is Clear + Brilliant?
Clear + Brilliant is a revolutionary, gentle laser skin care treatment that’s clinically proven to help aging skin look smoother. This unique treatment uses safe, fractional laser technology to address the early signs of aging skin. It is a proactive way for men and women to refresh their look and maintain radiant skin.
What to expect at your appointment?
Clear + Brilliant is a minimally invasive laser treatment that lasts about 60 minutes, and involves heat and light to target skin. Your treatment provider may apply a topical numbing cream on your skin to mitigate any discomfort; followed by topical antioxidant serum post-session.
What to expect from the results?
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.
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.
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.
Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and spray tans 1 week prior to appointment.
Discontinue topical skin care such as like AHAs and retinol, and exfoliative scrubs 3 days prior to treatment.
If you have a history of cold sores, we recommend taking an antiviral medication 24-48 hours before your treatment to prevent an outbreak. Continue medication for 3-5 days after your treatment. Contact your primary care provider if you need prescription medication.
