Clear and Brilliant or Laser Genesis: which treatment is best for skin tightening and collegian production?

Question

Which would be more effective Clear and Brilliant or Laser Genesis for skin tightening and collegian production?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Thank you for your question. It would be helpful to see some photos to understand the treatment area and the level of correction you might need. I can tell you that Ultherapy is a particularly effective skin tightening option for the face and neck. This device delivers ultrasound energy into the dermal layers, where it constricts tissue and triggers collagen production. Results improve over time and can be quite long lasting. 
There are other treatments that can be effective for this purpose, depending on where you want the tightening and how much laxity you have. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist who can assess you in person and determine the best treatment plan for you. Keep in mind the experience and qualifications of your provider are much more important than the device used if you want to ensure an optimal outcome.

Clear + Brilliant is a gentle laser that improves texture and tone but does not tighten. Thermage radio frequency tightens and lifts skin and is more effective than Laser Genesis.
