I have a lot of volume loss, loose and sagging skin in my face. I also have spent years outdoors without proper skin protection and have been a smoker. My derm. suggested a Clear & Brilliant treatment to help with collagen production, reduce the wrinkles around the eyes (my biggest concern) and help with the overall skin texture. However, increased collagen production and reduced wrinkles are NOT advertised on the Clear & Brilliant website. Will a treatment really help?
Answer: Clear & brilliant for fine lines and wrinkles Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Wrinkles, fine lines and crows feet Hello and thank you for your inquiry. To answer your question, the Clear and Brilliant does increase the permeability in the skin. What this means is it allows products and treatments to penetrate much deeper into the dermis. This will allow for collagen synthesis to occur and help with signs of aging. Although, it will not significantly tighten the skin. You can expect your skin to have a more even complexion and renewed ultra soft texture. By having this, you will feel slightly tighter and achieve a radiant youthful glow. I hope this helped answer your question.

Answer: Clear + Brilliant for Anti-Aging Clear + Brilliant is one of the most gentle but effective laser treatments for patients who want to reverse signs of aging. Thankfully, Clear + Brilliant's laser is gentle enough to be used in the under-eye area. The treatment requires little to no recovery downtime, making it an ideal option for candidates with busy schedules. A Clear + Brilliant treatment promotes both deep and surface skin healing. A Clear + Brilliant treatment will tighten your skin and pores, as well as improve the appearance of any hyperpigmentation or age spots. Patients have the option of Clear + Brilliant with Permea, which will target the deeper dermis with controlled thermal energy. This will successfully jumpstart your own body's collagen production. Your skin will peel throughout the week following your treatment; this is a normal part of your skin’s renewal process. As your new skin works its way to your epidermis, your new collagen will improve skin volume and elasticity. This will add youthful support to your skin, which in turn will fill in your fine lines and wrinkles, including crow's feet. With a well-spaced treatment plan of 4 to 6 sessions, Clear + Brilliant can take years off your appearance.It is important, before undergoing any cosmetic procedure, to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist in order to determine what skin rejuvenation option is right for you.

Answer: Clear and Brilliant would not be optimal for this situation There are so many tools in our arcenal against sun damage and the cosmetic concerns it causes. Clear and brilliant, in my opinion, is optimal as a tool early on to prevent skin changes. I typically recommend it for my under 40 patients and my post-Fraxel patients who might want a collagen building booster in a year or so. For older patients, with more extensive damage that has gone untreated, I prefer to be more aggressive and use Fraxel Dual, or even CO2 fractional, if the situation warrants. It is important to see a doctor who can give you options so you can get the treatment best for you.
