Clear and brilliant; How often do you need to get this laser treatment to maintain?

In our office, we maintain results with Clear and Brilliant by having patients start Melarase Brightening creams with Replenish retinoid cream before and after the lasers. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

For optimal long lasting results we encourage our patients to do a Series of 6 treatments to start. You can be treated every 3-4 weeks. After your series of 6 treatments, you can maintain results by doing other treatments such as Microdermabrasion , Dermaplaning, and/or Chemical Peels. A patient can also do a Series of 3 once or twice a year in between to maintain the results as well. It is always important to continue some type of skincare intervention after your series of 6 to obtain healthy skin. 

For optimal results, it is recommended to receive a series of 4-6 treatments. The number of series recommended per year to maintain results are dependent on the condition of your skin and other external and internal factors that may be provoking onset of new damage to your skin.

This treatment is ideal for those aged 25-45, Clear and Brilliant is a great treatment that fills the gap between lotions and potions it has a more aggressive laser offering. The 20-minute procedure works to improve tone, texture and radiance and is best for preventing signs of aging.

You should notice a difference in just two treatments, though for best results, four to six sessions two weeks apart are recommended. To maintain the quality of skin reached it can be repeated at regular intervals throughout the year, which you and your practitioner can discuss at the time. After Clear+ Brilliant you may suffer red or pink skin after treatment, but can wear make-up the following day if any pinkness remains, so the down time is minimal. Hope this helps.

Clear+Brilliant is a fractionated resurfacing laser, which improves pore size, pigmentation, and texture of the skin. It can be performed on almost any part of the body, but most commonly we treat the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return normal activities in a few days. Multiple treatments are typically recommended quarterly to maintain results.

Thank you for your question.  We find that C+B works best as a series of treatments monthly.  We typically have the patient do a series of 6 treatments for best results, and then they can maintain the results with other treatments like the hydrafacial, etc.  Hydra facial can also be performed at the same time as C+B to yield truly remarkable results.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

Depending on the skin condition, you may need a series of treatments. Guidelines suggest 6 sessions, however some patients only need 2-3, then maintain every 3-6 months. For skin rejuvenation the protocol is different compared to pigmentation removal. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
