Is Clear + Brilliant Right for Me?

Clear + Brilliant is ideal for those looking to achieve noticeable results by treating mild skin concerns, such as fine lines and uneven skin tone and texture, with minimal downtime. It’s also perfect for a boost prior to a big event. During your free consultation at HVME, your provider will get to know your goals, learn about your skin’s unique qualities, and help you decide whether or not this procedure is right for you. You’ll likely be an ideal candidate if you’re interested in addressing the following issues:

  • Early signs of facial aging 
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Dark spots 
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Irregular texture
  • Melasma (brown to gray-brown patches on the face).
  • Enlarged pores
  • Acne scars
  • Active acne

How Does Clear + Brilliant Work?

Clear + Brilliant is based on fractional laser technology, which works by creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This approach promotes rapid healing and collagen production, leading to improved skin texture, tone, and radiance. The laser energy targets and helps to replace damaged skin with healthier tissue, stimulating your skin’s natural healing process.

This innovative device allows for customizable settings, making it adaptable for various skin tones and textures. Such versatility makes it an ideal option for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation and improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall radiance, regardless of their skin type.

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least two weeks before the treatment.
  • Discontinue the use of retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) for a few days prior to the treatment.
  • Avoid exfoliating treatments or harsh skincare products that may irritate the skin.
  • Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to the treatment to promote skin health and recovery.
  • Avoid chemical peels or waxing for a couple of weeks before the Clear + Brilliant procedure.

Creating Your Customized Treatment Plan

Here at HVME, we pride ourselves on our ability to offer patients a robust selection of advanced treatment options. Many of them can be combined with the Clear + Brilliant treatment for an exceptionally customized treatment plan that addresses a broad range of skin concerns and achieves comprehensive rejuvenation results. Take a look at some of the procedures we can combine with Clear + Brilliant, and don’t forget to ask your provider for more information during your consultation:

  • Dermal fillers address both textural irregularities and volume loss and provide a more complete rejuvenation of the skin.
  • Chemical peels enhance the exfoliation and renewal of the skin, promoting a smoother, more even complexion.
  • Microneedling can amplify the stimulation of collagen production and improve the overall texture and firmness of your skin.

Your Clear + Brilliant Treatment Experience

To begin your Clear + Brilliant session, your provider will carefully cleanse the treatment area to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil from the skin. A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure. This anesthetic takes effect in about 20 minutes, at which point your treatment session will begin. 

Your provider will move the laser handpiece across the treatment areas, where it will emit gentle fractional laser energy. You may experience a prickling or warm sensation during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated. The actual treatment typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the targeted area.

After Your Treatment Session

Our aftercare recommendations include a gentle cleanser to wash the treated area for the first few days following the treatment and a soothing serum to help alleviate any temporary redness or dryness. We also recommend that you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher daily, even if it’s cloudy, to protect the treated skin from the sun.

It’s common to experience some redness and mild swelling in the treated area immediately after the procedure, and your skin may appear slightly pink or flushed. The initial redness and swelling usually begin to diminish within the first day or two following the treatment. Your skin may still have a pinkish hue during this time. 

In most cases, any remaining redness will resolve within about a week after your treatment session. By this time, your skin’s appearance will return to a more natural tone. Our team will be available to you at all times so we can answer any questions that you might have after your treatment session is complete.

Clear + Brilliant Frequently Asked Questions

How long until I see my results?

You will begin to notice improvements in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall radiance in the days and weeks following the procedure. In most cases, the final results become noticeable within a few weeks as the skin’s natural rejuvenation process progresses.

How many treatments will I need?

While you may achieve the desired results after a single session, often a series of treatments of four to six treatments spaced about two to four weeks apart is recommended for gradual improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall radiance while minimizing discomfort and downtime.

How long will my results last?

Generally, with proper skincare maintenance and sun protection, patients enjoy results that can last for several months to a year. However, individual experiences may vary, and periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the desired improvements. Healthy lifestyle choices, such as adequate sleep and hydration, can positively impact the longevity of your treatment results.
