Clear and Brilliant

Pre-Treatment Care

A Few Weeks Before Treatment:

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure 1 week before treatment. Apply a broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) physical (contains zinc or titanium) SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to treatment areas.
  • Let us know if you have a history of cold sores, prior use of Accutane, or are prone to breakouts. Do not have any laser or other light-based treatments until your Clear and Brilliant series is complete unless approved by our office.
  • No self tanning or tanning bed use prior to treatment.

The Day of Treatment

  • Arrive without heavy creams or makeup on treatment area if possible. Sunscreen is okay.
  • Allow at least 1 hour for your appointment. You will be numbing for 30 minutes so feel free to bring entertainment or work.
  • Shave the treatment area if necessary. Facial hair should be neatly trimmed or cleanshaven. Completely okay if you wish to not, but please understand the price will remain the same.

Post Treatment Care

What to Expect Post-Treatment:

  • Sandpaper texture/coffee ground appearance to your skin: This can last for 3-5 days. This is the normal process of skin regeneration. Allow your skin to restore on its own and avoid exfoliating products and devices.
  • Bronzing, Crusting and Small Dark Spots: Dark spots may get darker before crusting and flaking off. This is a normal part of the healing process.
  • Raw Skin: If you develop raw areas after treatment, do not pick at them. Keep them moist with an ointment like Aquaphor or Vaseline.
  • Papules or Pimples: Rarely small white bumps on the chin or jawline may develop post-treatment. If this occurs let us know and we can prescribe doxycycline to take. While on doxycycline, ensure you take it with food, water, do not lie down for 30 min after taking, and wear sun protection.

Post-Treatment Skincare

  • Sun Protection: Protect your face from the sun with a broad spectrum (UVA and UVB) physical (containing zinc or titanium) SPF 30+ sunscreen.
  • Skin Care Products: You may wash and moisturize your face as normal using these gentle products. Wash your face as normal using a gentle creamy cleanser. Take care to avoid manually sloughing off any sandpaper/coffee ground textured skin. Gently pat dry. Please avoid using harsh topicals such as retinols/retinoids, glycolic acid, scrubs, bleaching creams (hydroquinone), and toners until your skin is healed.
  • Pre/post treat (if applicable): If you were specifically advised to pre/post treat for clear and brilliant, you can start your routine come 1 week after treatment once your skin is healed.
