Tria Smoothbeauty laser works better

Although I paid for another 6 rounds of treatments, I will not get anymore of these done and use my store credit on something else. I started using the Tria Beauty Anti-aging laser at home and I saw results in two days that were better than the clinic treatments. Here's the comparison: the in-office treatments were inconsistent. I discussed this with a friend who works at the clinic and said because they over book clients, they are always in a rush. I noticed sometimes my treatment was hurting more. I hate the downtime of having rough skin and not wearing makeup. It's expensive! I didn't see results--honestly I hardly noticed a difference. Enter the Tria product: it does hurt, but you have control of the levels and can work your way up. Your face is red and feels windburned but the sensation goes away after about an hour. You have to use it daily for 12 weeks then take a month off. I wake up with clear, glowy, tight skin every morning. My acne is virtually gone!

Whoever told you clear and brilliant would help that kind of scarring was just trying to get money out of you. You needed something much stronger.

Absolutely, and I was refunded for the remainder of my package amount. I was so glad!

I’m about to get my 5th treatment done in July. I have noticed slight improvements on texture. My skin’s redness disappeared temporarily and now it’s back. I do not have acne issues, but I did get a few pop up during my menstrual cycle. I also want to note that I had a facial last week, and I got a few small spots after that.

If your looking for texture try micro needling. I got great results. Did you use the permea Laser with the clear and brilliant?

It's about $400 per treatment when you buy the package. A microneedling tool is $15 on Amazon. The laser is a mini Fraxel, not sure if that is the same as the permea.

Thank you for replying. There are micro needling tools online but finding a reputable one is hard. When I look up clear and brilliant no-one specifies which laser so its hard for me to get an idea on everyone's experience.

I'm trying to figure out if the permea is consider the fraxual. Did you use the Permea?

Third Treatment

This treatment was more intense, and was very painful on my upper lip area. My face throbbed and burned for a good hour. The next day, the redness subsided and felt rough, which is normal. This particular nurse said my HS scars will NOT go away with this treatment. The other nurses said it would. I'm glad someone was finally honest.

Slightly. The biggest improvements so far are clarity of skin, I see redness reduction and dullness has disappeared. No acne at all-- maybe one or two surface pimples, but no major ones to note. Texture is probably going to be the last thing to improve.

Why don’t you try mico needing with tropical sculptra. I personality have not tryed it nor do I have ance, but in my research just for sculptra injections I have ran into people with acne who done this treatment and had fantastic results.

You need CO2 or at least fraxel for major scar correction I work as a medical assistant in dermatology with providers who do them
