Laser treatments are one of the most effective skin rejuvenation tools available. Your Capital Laser & Skin Care team offers a range of options, including the anti-aging, brightening Clear + Brilliant® laser. Individuals of all ages can benefit from this versatile laser treatment to correct or even prevent many different skin concerns.
What is Clear + Brilliant®?
Laser treatments are usually divided into ablative and non-ablative forms. Clear + Brilliant® is a non-ablative laser, which means it triggers skin restoration without removing the outer layers. It has the added benefit of working as a fractional laser, which means it scatters the laser energy to treat areas of the skin while leaving others unaffected. These factors make Clear + Brilliant® one of the gentlest but most effective laser treatments.
How Does Clear + Brilliant® Work for Skin Rejuvenation?
During your treatment, the laser energy from Clear + Brilliant® travels through the skin, stimulating new skin cell turnover and triggering increased collagen production. As a result, fresh new skin cells replace your dull, damaged outer layers, while new collagen smooths wrinkles and textural concerns. Because the wavelengths can do their work without causing injury to the skin, you enjoy results with little to no downtime.
How Many Clear + Brilliant® Laser Treatments Will I Need?
The number of Clear + Brilliant® laser treatments you need will depend on many factors, especially the type and severity of your skin concerns. People using this laser as a preventative treatment may not need as many sessions as someone bothered by sun damage or textural concerns.
While your treatment plan may differ, the average plan would include three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart to achieve your goals, followed by maintenance sessions two to three times a year.
While you will see immediate benefits after one Clear + Brilliant® session, results are cumulative and improve over time. Your skin will look smoother and brighter after each treatment until you achieve the soft, healthy glow you want.
Is There Any Downtime After Clear + Brilliant®?
One reason people love Clear + Brilliant® laser treatments is how little time they take out of their busy schedules. Your entire visit often takes less than an hour, and you can return to your usual activities immediately with no downtime. While your skin may look pink or flushed for an hour or two after your session, you can apply makeup immediately if needed.
Am I a Good Candidate for Clear + Brilliant®?
Men and women of all ages can see brighter, healthier-looking skin with Clear + Brilliant® laser treatments. Good candidates have reasonable expectations and are in generally good health. Candidates typically want to address mild to moderate skin concerns, and those with significant wrinkles or skin laxity may benefit from a more intensive treatment.
