Looking for a solution to treat melasma?
Look no further than our Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment. This treatment requires almost no downtime and is not painful.
Being a non-invasive laser, it requires no surgery or injections, while providing noticeable results.
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a hyperpigmentation skin disorder that is difficult to treat. It can look like your skin is uneven, with discoloration and dark spots. Certain things can irritate or trigger melasma, like hormones and the sun.
Melasma can be considered chronic, in which case treatment would be the way to handle it rather than letting it work its way out on its own. This is when we would recommend the Clear + Brilliant Treatment to our patients.
Who gets Melasma?
According to research at the Cleveland Clinic, women are much more likely to get melasma than men, but it is possible in everyone. If you have darker brown skin or tend to tan well, you are more likely to get melasma than those who have fair skin. Pregnant women are the most likely to get melasma due to hormones, although the relation between hormones and melasma is unknown!
How can Melasma be treated?
Melasma can be treated with the Clear + Brilliant Laser’s 1927-nm diode laser, which helps with hyperpigmentation, sun spots, anti-aging, freckles, and more. Along with in office treatments like the Clear and Brilliant laser, it is also recommended to treat melasma with topical skin lighteners like hydroquinone to maintain post-treatment results.
What is the Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment?
The Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment is a popular laser used to improve melasma, skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, texture, sun damage, and reduce pore size. It’s commonly used to treat the face, neck, and chest. This treatment duration is about 30-45 minutes long.
What does Clear + Brilliant feel like?
The provider will apply numbing cream before treatment to ensure the treatment is comfortable. Patients have described that after receiving the Clear + Brilliant laser treatment, their face felt warm, almost like a sunburn but that feeling went away within the hour.
What is the downtime after the Clear and Brilliant treatment?
Clear + Brilliant only requires about 2-3 hours of downtime, which is really great compared to most lasers which require multiple days. Following treatment, you may experience some pink/red tones to the skin, however this only will last a few hours. The next week or so after treatment, your skin will feel like sandpaper, but it is not visible, just noticeable to the touch.
How many sessions should be completed?
Clinical studies have shown best results after at least 4 treatments of Clear + Brilliant to treat melasma, one month apart from each other. Once completing treatment, your skin will feel softer and skin tone will improve, giving you a nice glow! At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we offer single treatments as well as packages of Clear + Brilliant treatments.
When will I see results?
Results will be noticeable about a week or two after treatment is completed, and can last months depending on your factors like the products you use for your skin post treatment and protection from the sun.
What is the price of Clear + Brilliant?
At Healthy Solutions Medspa, Clear + Brilliant starts at $399, depending on which level of treatment you receive, in which the provider can speak to you about to decide which is best for you. We also offer packages of 3 and 6 Clear + Brilliant treatments which are discounted.
