Our patients love the Clear and Brilliant laser near Frisco. Not only is it effective, but it’s also gentle on the skin and non-invasive.
At McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we suggest the Clear + Brilliant laser for all skin types, tones, and ages. It’s a great starter laser skin treatment that boasts minimal-to-no downtime and addresses a range of skin-related concerns.
Of course, with such a popular treatment comes a lot of questions and confusion. We’ve narrowed down the most common questions and addressed them in this article.
How Will Clear and Brilliant Improve My Skin?
First, let’s discuss the outermost layers of our skin: the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the top layer that protects the dermis, which is the middle layer. Due to sun exposure, personal habits, and environmental factors, this top layer of skin gets damaged. Your body sheds the damaged skin in a process called skin cell turnover. However, because it’s a slow process, it can lead to uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and more, as you age.
The dermis holds vital proteins like collagen and elastin, which are responsible for your skin’s flexibility, strength, and support. As you age, your body produces less and less of these skin-supporting proteins, making your body susceptible to fine lines, wrinkles, and skin dullness.
Clear + Brilliant uses fractional laser technology to create millions of microscopic zones of thermal injury in the epidermis. This process speeds up cellular regeneration. At the same time, non-ablative wavelengths reach the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production and improving skin firmness.
Is the procedure safe?
Not only has this treatment been FDA-approved since 2011, it’s also one of the gentlest lasers on the market. Most patients experience minimal side effects, such as redness and discoloration, which resolves itself after a couple of days.
How many treatments will be best for me?
The results vary depending on your skin-related concerns and your desired outcome. We can discuss the number of recommended treatments needed during your consultation. You should start to see initial results after just 1 treatment, with further improvements after each session.
