Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

we do this the most in the city and do fillers, needling, prp, and botox on the same day with clear and brilliant.  I find clear and brilliant works better when combined with other treatments.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Clear and Brilliant is an excellent options to improve skin texture and color, especially in my under 35 patients. Botox is also useful in this age group. Since there can be swelling after C ad B, I typically recommend the Botox preceed the laser to prevent unwanted diffusion of the Botox. The next day is fine. If the C and B is done first, I recommend you wait 3-7 days before getting Botox.

You can have Botox and Clear and Brilliant on the same day or the very next day.  I often have patients combine both treatments with excellent results.  Best, Dr. Green

A Botox injection into the frown lines is deep, so I would do this with a clear and brilliant treatment.  Crows feet injections are very superficial, so I would probably skip these Botox injections at the same time as a clear and brilliant treatment.
