Dr. Ambe chats with Haute Beauty about Clear + Brilliant which helps to erase signs of aging while improving the texture and tone of your skin.
HB: What is clear and brilliant?
Clear + Brilliant is a fractional diode laser that helps erase the visible signs of aging, improves the appearance of enlarged pores, and overall improves skin dullness and tone that time and environment can take its toll on.
HB: What does it work to treat?
Clear + Brilliant creates millions of microscopic treatment zones in the top layers of the skin, which in turn causes your skin to replace the treated skin with new healthy skin. It specifically targets skin discoloration (brown spots, sun spots, and skin dullness) as well as fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.
HB: What is the treatment like?
The treatment itself is performed in a medical office and it takes roughly 20 – 30 minutes. Generally, a topical anesthetic is placed on the treated area prior to treatment to help with any discomfort. There is minimal downtime with this procedure which patients love. After the treatment, your skin will appear pink for a few hours and might just feel sunburned the next day. Makeup or tinted sunscreen can be applied after the procedure.
HB: Who is a good candidate?
Clear + Brilliant treatments are great for women and men of any skin type who are looking to prevent and/or fight the early signs of aging skin. It is also an excellent maintenance procedure to help maintain youthful appearing skin.
HB: What is the cost?
The cost is roughly $500 a treatment. For optimal results, a series of 3-5 is recommended.
