I had done Fraxel a year ago to take care of some dark aging spots on my face. The result was good, but it was actually really painful. I’m very pleased that I found clear + brilliant as a substitute for this. When I think about all the agony I have to go through for Fraxel, it’s not worth it. Clear + brilliant is much less invasive and not painful at all. I only did it once, and I’m already seeing a difference, but I know it’s going to be even more of a full effect as the months go by. When you wake up in the morning and your skin is glowing, you feel much better than before. The Dr. Brilliant staff was really nice in working with me too. They listened to what I wanted, and they explained everything in a lot of depth and with patience. I don’t even remember how long the procedure took because to be honest, we were talking so much that I didn’t notice the time go by. That took the edge out of it, and the whole treatment process was really smooth. No side effects, just a little redness, but that didn’t last very long. I’m pretty pleased with my results now, but going back to Dr. Brilliant for more treatments will make me even happier.
