How long to wait between Clear + Brilliant and Ulthera?

Question

I'm scheduling a series of Clear + Brilliant treatments and one Ulthera treatment in the middle of the Clear + Brilliant series. How long should I wait between a Clear + Brilliant and the Ulthera? Any possible issues if I did them one week apart?

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.

Ultherapy and clear and brilliant can be done at the same time.  ultrasound can be used to tighten skin while the clear and brilliant can be used to brighten it.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Clear + Brilliant laser can be done the same time as your Ultherapy treatment or any time after. Ultherapy should be performed at least one week after a Clear + Brilliant treatment to ensure the exfoliation has taken place.
