Does a laser like Clear + Brilliant have the potential to damage fat cells in the face?

Question

A lot of radio frequency and laser treatments are being reported to eventually decrease fat-cells in the face, leading to an un-youthful appearance of the face. If so, what are the reported effects of such post a Clear+Brilliant treatment?

Thanks for your question!Clear and Brilliant is a gentle laser that targets only the upper layers of the skin.  The heat does not penetrate deep enough to affect the fat cells or damage them.  Best of luck,

The Clear + Brilliant laser does not penetrate deep enough to impact fat cells.  There is no risk of losing facial volume after a treatment.

C + B laser is a very gentle laser and barely penetrates deep enough into the skin to reach the fat. It is a diode laser that is gentle and according to the manufacturer has a dept of about 390 microns which is about 0.39 mm. That is not nearly deep enough to get to the fat.

Clear + Brilliant is a laser treatment that does not work deep enough to affect the facial fat. It is different from radiofrequency and ultrasound based skin tightening treatments such as Ultherapy. Clear + Brilliant is a great treatment for fine lines, enlarged pores, and superficial skin discoloration. I find that it also works well when combined with other treatments for melasma.
