Can is handle heavy sun damage ? rough texture, acne scars (pitted) and hyperpigmentaion ? how long do the results last ?
Answer: Clear and Brilliant vs. Clear and Brilliant Permea Dear patient, Let me start by saying that there are 2 types of Clear and Brilliant lasers. They have slightly different wavelengths and function slightly differently. The Permea version is safer in patients with darker skin and is better suited for Melasma and problems with pigmentation. The original Clear and brilliant laser is good for fine lines and pores but does not improve deeper lines and acne scars. It is simply too light for that. Downtime on the Permea is only one day and the the original Clear and brilliant (depending on settings used) needs 2-3 days of downtime. You need to look for a fractional Co2 laser like the Mixto for acne scarring.I hope I was able to answer your questions. Yours, Dr R.

Answer: Expert Treatments with Clear and Brilliant Microfractional laser treatments can benefit skin quality and resiliency through collagen stimulatory effects. In our office, we use combination platforms for Clear and Brilliant added to PRP, fractional RF, and filler placement in order to enhance the skin. We use Clear and Brilliant laser to improve sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, atrophic skin, and skin wrinkles; in addition to scars. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Answer: Clear + Brilliant--add skin care, Sculptra, thermage, ultherapy Yes, Clear + Brilliant is good for this. For facial rejuvenation I would consider a combination approach: 1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling 2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors 3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel, Viva, Co2/Erbium 4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production 5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Clear and Brilliant laser The Clear and Brilliant laser is a mild laser treatment that can improve skin texture, tone and pores. For improvement of extensive sun damage and acne scars, a more aggressive laser such as the Fraxel is more effective.

Answer: Clear + Brilliant (Permea) 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 for the best result.
