What is Clear and Brilliant technology and how does it help NYC residents improve their skin?

Dr. Shelton sees many patients who want to improve their skin. Some want to enhance the way their skin looks, while others want to reverse some of the signs of aging. Others want to rejuvenate their skin and improve the tone, texture, and overall appearance. No matter what patients are looking for, many can benefit from Fraxel Laser, Clear and Brilliant technology. Dr. Shelton offers Clear and Brilliant treatments to boost the appearance of the skin and give it a healthy glow!

While you can eat healthy and exercise to maintain your look, you can’t stop the signs of aging. Fine lines and wrinkles may be troublesome to patients who want to appear more youthful. With Clear and Brilliant, patients can enhance their look by adding a healthy glow and brightness with this amazing laser skin rejuvenation treatment.

Clear and Brilliant uses fractional laser technology to stimulate collagen and elastin to thicken the skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help even out pigmentation of the skin to provide an even skin tone. Many patients see amazing results without requiring harsh chemicals or a plastic surgeon.

During the treatment, patients relax in the treatment chair. A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure the patient is comfortable during treatment. The Clear and Brilliant handpiece is adjusted to the proper strength, which is determined by the severity of the patient’s condition and the patient’s tolerance to the heat of the laser. If there are sensitive areas of the face to be treated, the settings can be adjusted downward to make the patient comfortable. The handpiece is applied to the skin with smooth application, and has a roller tip that functions only when in contact with the skin. This is for safety, and ensures that the entire surface of the skin is properly addressed.

This precise treatment requires no downtime, though patients may notice some redness of the area for a few hours after their treatment. One treatment shows results, but for the ultimate outcome, patients should schedule from four to eight treatments, spaced two weeks apart. This gives time for the collagen production to work and improve the skin to provide resiliency and elasticity.
