Does Clear and Brilliant thicken the skin?

Some settings of Clear and Brilliant laser can help promote collagen production. I would combine C + B with Melarase creams and Replenish to optimize results. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Dear septembergirl,Clear + Brilliant laser is a 1440 nm wavelength fractionated laser that improves tone, texture and fine lines in the skin with minimal downtime. While there is some collagen stimulation provided by this laser, thickening of the skin is not as prominent as with some other procedures. I am personally not a fan of the dermaroller, as I feel there is less control with this device. Microneedling with a device that provides depth control (like the Dermapen), especially when paired with PRP (platelet rich plasma), can give very good results and produce some thickening of the skin.This can be alternated with Clear + Brilliant for great results. I've had success with this combination.

Clear and Brilliant is a very nice procedure with no down time which makes the skin look more radiant and helps to diminish pores and pigmentation.  If you are interested in fine lines around the eyes you would be much better off having the eMatrix for the lines around the eyes combined with Botox.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green
