Clear +Brilliant FAQs at Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center

• How does Clear + Brilliant Work?

  Clear and Brilliant® works by creating microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of your skin, which replaces damaged cells with healthy-looking tissue. With just one use, it yields a younger-looking complexion that’ll make you look years younger!

• How much does Clear + Brilliant Cost?

  Clear and Brilliant costs anywhere from $450 to $800 per treatment. The total cost of your treatment varies depending on the area being treated and how many sessions you are having. Contact us today to get your Clear and Brilliant consultation.

• How long does Clear + Brilliant last?

  After your Clear + Brilliant® treatment, your skin will feel softer, look brighter, and show a more even tone within a week or two. Results can last for months depending on age, skin condition, and how you protect your skin.

• Is Clear + Brilliant better than microneedling?

  Microneedling treatments penetrate the skin less deeply than Clear + Brilliant. This means that microneedling is recommended for superficial skin conditions. Treatments cause less injury to the skin, which minimizes the amount of post-procedure redness, inflammation, and recovery time.

  Clear + Brilliant can penetrate deeper into the epidermis, giving you a more dramatic result. Additionally, the penetration depths are adjustable, meaning we will entirely customize the treatment based on your unique skin concerns.

• Does Clear + Brilliant hurt?

  Clear & Brilliant offers painless laser treatments that produce dramatic results with minimal downtime. It can treat many skin conditions and is typically much more comfortable than other procedures, such as dermabrasion or chemical peels, which may require days off work for recovery.

• Who should not use Clear + Brilliant?

  The following contraindications are routine for many laser treatments and may also be associated with non-ablative Clear + Brilliant® laser system treatments. Pre-screening should include, but not be limited to:

  • Diagnosis/possibility of actinic keratosis, melasma, rosacea, or other significant skin conditions (e.g., skin cancer, active infections, cold sores, open wounds, rashes, burns, inflammation, eczema, psoriasis);
  • Predisposition to keloid formation or excessive scarring;
  • Diagnosis of a condition that may compromise the immune system, such as HIV, lupus, scleroderma, or systemic infections;
  • Known sensitivity to light or if photosensitizing agents or medications are being taken;
  • Systemic steroids (e.g., prednisone, dexamethasone), which should be rigorously avoided before and throughout treatment;
  • Use of retinoids, which should be avoided for at least two weeks before and during treatment;
  • Patients undergoing isotretinoin acne treatment or with drugs in a similar class;
  • Whether skin is still recovering from a cosmetic procedure, such as a chemical or mechanical peel or laser resurfacing, and
  • Whether botulinum toxin injections or dermal fillers (such as collagen) have occurred within the past two weeks.‍

• What should I do after Clear + Brilliant?
  • Cleanse your skin for the first few days after treatment using a gentle cleanser. Avoid scrubbing, rubbing, or the use of exfoliants.
  • Avoid excessive exercise, sweat, swimming, or exposing skin to heat and sun for two days after treatment.
  • Avoid scrubs, toners, glycolic acid, and retinoids until the skin has healed completely from your treatment. Your skin will be sensitive after the treatment. Do not use products that will irritate you during this time. Please see the post-treatment product list below.
  • You can return to a regular skin care regimen once the skin has healed completely.
  • You must use sunscreen to prevent sun damage to the skin. The sunscreen you use should offer broadband protection (UVA and UVB) and have a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or more. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. If direct sun exposure is necessary, wear a hat and clothing that covers the treated area. Your practice of diligent sunscreen use may lower the risk of laser-induced hyperpigmentation (darker color)
  • If you notice any blisters, cuts, bruises, crusting/scabs, areas of raw skin, ulcerations, active bleeding, increased discomfort or pain, pigment changes (lighter or darker than usual complexion), or any other problems, be sure to get in touch with our office as soon as possible.
