Understanding the Difference Between Clear + Brilliant and MOXI Laser Treatments

Posted on
clear and brilliant bucks county pa

If you’re considering laser treatments to rejuvenate your skin, you may have come across two popular light resurfacing laser treatment options:

The Clear + Brilliant and the MOXI laser treatments.

While both are effective, there’s a reason why Clear + Brilliant has earned a reputation as being one of the most sought-after laser treatments for glowing and youthful skin.

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we proudly offer the Clear + Brilliant because of its proven ability to deliver results without any major social downtime. 

Not only do our patients love this treatment, but it also wins award year over year by major publications.

The Clear + Brilliant laser, won the Shape Beauty Awards as “The Best in Office Treatment” 2024. “Testers reported that this skin-resurfacing laser treatment, aided by topical numbing cream, is more comfortable than comparable products. Each session lasted about 30 to 45 minutes, with the actual laser treatment taking only 15 to 20 minutes, so it was fairly quick and (relatively) painless.”

In addition, the Clear + Brilliant was awarded the Best Laser for Beginners and Best Laser for Glowy Skin by NewBeauty and the Most Worth It Non-Invasive Laser by RealSelf.

Let’s explore the differences between Clear + Brilliant and MOXI so you can better understand how to select the right treatment for your skin!

What is Clear + Brilliant laser treatment?

Clear + Brilliant is often described as the “baby Fraxel” for good reason. The Clear + Brilliant is a light resurfacing fractional treatment designed to target early signs of aging and is safe for all skin types.

The Clear + Brilliant does this by creating millions of microscopic treatment zones with the laser energy in the upper layers of the skin, replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger looking tissue, creating glowing skin with minimal downtime.

Unlike stronger lasers that can require days or even weeks of recovery, the Clear + Brilliant offers a gentler approach while still providing noticeable results.

By creating micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, the Clear + Brilliant stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This results in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin, ideal for those who want to prevent aging or refresh their complexion without going through a lengthy recovery process.

What to expect after your Clear + Brilliant treatment:

  • Improves signs of aging
  • Improves skin tone
  • Improves texture
  • Reduces sun damage
  • Minimizes pores
  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduction of redness
  • Rebuilds collagen
  • Improves melasma

What is the MOXI laser treatment?

MOXI is a a light resurfacing fractional laser treatment designed to prevent and treat early signs of aging and is safe for all skin types.

It’s often considered as more gentle laser option that’s ideal for maintaining healthy skin.

MOXI uses non-ablative laser energy to deliver microscopic laser beams into the skin, creating controlled damage that stimulates collagen production.

What to expect after your Moxi treatment:

  • Reduces sun damage
  • Reduces melasma
  • Improves uneven skin tone
  • Improves pigmentation issues
  • Improves sun damage

MOXI is a “prejuvenation” treatment for younger patients who want to stay ahead of aging and for those looking to refresh their skin.

Depending on the settings used, it is a low downtime treatment for people with busy schedules or those seeking gradual improvements. However, when the treatment is customized to be more aggressive, it can provide a few days of social downtime.

The Clear and Brilliant laser vs. Moxi:

How the Clear + Brilliant laser and Moxi are the same:

  • Both are 1927 wavelengths that target water and not melanin. 
  • Both are safe for all skin types.
  • Both are light resurfacing treatments.

How the Clear + Brilliant and Moxi are different:

  • The Clear + Brilliant can be customized to use both the 1927 wavelength and the 1440 wavelength with the Clear + Brilliant complete treatment. By combing both wavelenghts, the Clear + Brilliant can target not just pigment but also textural concerns that Moxi does not such as fine lines and wrinkles, pore size, collagen, and reduction of redness. 
  • Price: The Moxi retails between $650-$750 and the Clear + Brilliant 1927 handpiece only treatment can range from $350-$450 and the Clear + Brilliant Complete treatment using both wavelengths can range from $550-$600.

The Scientific Differences Between the Clear + Brilliant and the Moxi laser treatment:

Laser Wavelengths:

Clear + Brilliant:

Utilizes a 1440 nm, 1927 nm or both wavelengths depending on the type of Clear + Brilliant treatment being done (either Perméa or Original or a Clear + Brilliant complete treatment using both wavelengths).

The 1440 nm wavelength primarily targets water in the skin’s superficial layers, helping with texture, tone, and light rejuvenation.

The 1927 nm wavelength is more focused on pigmentation issues and treating sun damage or hyperpigmentation in a gentle way.

Moxi:

Operates at a 1927 nm wavelength, similar to the Clear + Brilliant Perméa handpiece.

This wavelength targets water in the skin like the Clear + Brilliant, addressing pigmentation and the early signs of aging.

Laser Energy:

Clear + Brilliant:

5MJ

Moxi:

5MJ – 20 MJ depending on the level selected for the treatment. 

The higher the level, the more heat and is a more aggressive treatment that causes more downtime.

Density and Coverage:

Clear + Brilliant:

With 8 passes of the Clear + Brilliant treatment, the coverage or density is 12.6%. If patient can tolerate more passes, the treatment can go up to 19% coverage.

Moxi:

The Moxi is able to go up to 20-30% density for patients that can tolerate a more aggressive treatment with more downtime.

Top Questions Asked of an Aesthetician in a Medical Spa

Posted on

We recently asked our Aesthetician Erica what common questions she gets asked the most about skincare at our Medical Spa in Bucks County.

But before we get into those questions… 

What is an Aesthetician?

An Aesthetician is someone that works in a medical setting and is overseen by a Medical Doctor, that can help improve your skin. They can help you select medical grade skincare products, chemical peels, and laser treatments that would benefit you the most.

aesthetician bucks county, pa

Why is everyone confused about skincare?

Reading beauty magazines and scrolling down your Instagram feed, we are all inundated with so many treatments and products for our skin that it can be overwhelming.

Like many of us, you probably have more than a few cleansers that you have tried over the years, masks that you have applied at home, and over the counter eye creams and moisturizers that you dabbled with.

Have they worked? Maybe? Did they cause you to break out or dry your skin? Were they the right products for your skin?

confused about skincare products

Those that are looking to see quicker results in the improvement of their skin turn to an Aesthetician at a Medical Spa.

What are the common questions asked of an Aesthetician at a Medical Spa?

In what order should I apply my skin care products?

You should always start by removing makeup, cleanse, tone, serum/treatment, eye cream, moisturizer, sunscreen.
It is important to apply products in the correct order to get the best results. 
Which order you should put on skincare products

Can I use drugstore products on my skin?

Drugstore products are not recommended by skin care professionals because they contain tons of fillers, irritants, and low quality ingredients.
They only add minuscule amounts of the “good” ingredients so they can claim to be effective on the packaging.
Medical grade products contain more beneficial ingredients and are highly concentrated so you need less of it.
Whereas, drugstore products are so watered down they won’t last you nearly as long. 

Where can I purchase medical grade products? 

You should always purchase medical grade products from a medical spa or doctor’s office to make sure you’re getting legitimate products.
There are a lot of fake products sold online that are cheaper because they are most likely expired or have different ingredients than the original.
Also, you risk having a reaction or break out due to not knowing the actual ingredients that are in it.
You should always consult with an Aesthetician or Doctor first to choose what medical grade products will be most beneficial for your skin type and concerns. 
Obagi Nu Derm Bucks County, PA

Why is sunscreen so important? 

Wearing sunscreen every day can protect you from exposure to UV radiation that can burn the skin and cause skin cancer.
Always make sure your sunscreen has an SPF of at least 30 and reapply every 2 hours.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV rays can pass through clouds so it’s important to wear it even on cloudy days. 
Another benefit of wearing sunscreen is that it slows down premature aging of the skin.
It also helps maintain an even skin tone by preventing discoloration and dark spots due to sun damage. 

At what age should I start using a retinoid? 

Everyone over the age of 30 should be using a retinoid like Tretinoin cream.
It will speed up cell turnover which slows down as we age and causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear.
Tretinoin cream is also great for treating acne, so it is recommended for patients with acneic skin as well as mature or “aging” skin. tretinoin obagi retinoid bucks county, pa

Will Dermaplaning cause my hair to grow back darker and more course?

Dermaplaning is a safe procedure for exfoliating the epidermis and ridding the skin of fine vellus hair.
Many patients are concerned that the hair will grow back darker and courser after dermaplaning.
However this is not the case.
Vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz, will grow back at the same rate and texture due to its superficial nature and lack of complexity within the follicle.Dermaplaning-in-Bucks County

What can I do to improve dark spots?

There are many different options to treat hyperpigmentation so it’s always best to consult with your Aesthetician to create a customized treatment plan.
A few great options are Clear + Brilliant laser, VI Peel, Vitamin C serum, and Hydroquinone cream.
Clear and Brilliant Laser Bucks County

What can I do for blotchy, red skin?

A Photofacial or IPL, also known as Intense Pulsed Light treats skin pigmentation. A Photofacial can treat those pesky broken capillaries that many people get around their nose. 

Is laser hair removal painful? 

Everyone tolerates pain differently, but for most people laser hair removal is tolerable and hurts less than waxing.
It also depends on the area of the body being lasered, because some areas are more sensitive to pain than others.
It’s often compared to the feeling of a rubber band snapping.
A numbing cream may be applied upon request or you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever before the treatment. painless laser hair removal Doylestown, PA

If I am a darker complexion does that mean I can’t get laser hair removal?

Although there are certain lasers that can only be done on lighter skin types, there are also some that are safe on all skin tones.
The laser we use at Healthy Solutions Medspa can be done on all skin types and even has a melanin reader that helps choose what setting to use for ultimate results in a safe manner.

Is it bad to pop pimples on my own? 

If you squeeze an inflamed pimple that’s not ready to be extracted, you can actually damage your skin further and can make the breakout worse by spreading bacteria.
To avoid long-lasting marks and scars, you should always see an Aesthetician at a medical spa.
There’s a proper way to extract blackheads, and a Hydrafacial treatment is one of the most gentle and effective options.skincare Doylestown, PA

How far ahead should I schedule a Hydrafacial before an event? 

You can schedule a Hydrafacial as late as the day-of the event if you’ve had it before.
If it’s your first time, it’s best to schedule two or three days before so that your skin has time to relax just in case you have any reactions. hydrafacial in bucks county pa

How long is the peeling process of a VI Chemical Peel?

The skin usually starts to peel anywhere from 2-3 days following a VI Peel and it can last up to a week.
If you have an event, it is best to schedule a few weeks ahead of time.
chemical peel Doylestown, PA

How does an Aesthetician determine what procedures are best for my skin? 

An experienced Aesthetician in a medical spa will ask you a few questions to determine what type of treatment is best.
It’s best to be honest when discussing your skin type and what products you use at home.
Also let your Aesthetician know of any allergies you have and medications you take.
This will help your Aesthetician give you the best customized treatment plan for your skin. 

How to find the right Aesthetician?

When scheduling a skincare appointment, make sure to select a reputable and established Medical Spa. Read their Facebook and Google reviews to see what their clients have said about the facility and the results.

Clear + Brilliant Laser Facial Compared to Microneedling & Photofacial

Posted on
Clear & Brilliant vs. Micronedlingvs. Photofacial Bucks County, PA

How Does the Clear + Brilliant Laser Facial Compare to Microneedling & Photofacial?

A common concern in patients is wanting to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and scars while improving skin tone and texture.

Having younger-looking, radiant skin is now more easily attainable and less painful than ever with today’s technologies.

Some of the most popular skin and facial procedures that don’t require surgery include treatments like Clear + Brilliant, Microneedling and Photofacials.

While all three of these procedures are similar, they also have their differences. So how do you know which treatment you should get?

First, you should narrow down your top skin concerns from the broad goal of just attaining “better skin”.

Whether that’s reducing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing pore size, smoothing texture or improving pigmentation or scars, some treatments work better at a specific goal than others.

Here’s what you need to know about how the Clear + Brilliant, Microneedling and Photofacial compare:

Clear + Brilliant

Clear and Brilliant Laser

The Clear & Brilliant treatment is relatively new, yet it’s one of the most popular laser treatments for improving early signs of aging such as fine lines, skin tone, texture, pigment and sun damage while also minimizing pores.

It works by a laser gently rolling across the skin to create microscopic wounds, stimulating collagen production.

The Clear and Brilliant laser treatment has no downtime and works on all skin types.

The Clear + Brilliant can be done on the face, neck, chest or hands. A series of treatments is recommended, and ongoing treatments are needed to maintain results.

Microneedling

Microneedling in Bucks County, PA

Similar to Clear + Brilliant, Microneedling  works also by stimulating collagen production in the skin, except by using microscopic needles.

It improves the skin’s overall appearance, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation and acne scars.

Microneedling can be done on any part of the body such as face, neck, chest, arms, legs, abdomen and back.

IPL and BBL Photofacials

Healthy Solutions Medspa

A Photofacial or IPL (intense pulsed light) and BBL (broad band light) targets pigment, redness and vessels in the skin without harming any surrounding tissue.

Photofacials are best for treating sun spots, age spots, rosacea, spider veins, capillaries and other similar conditions on the skin.

IPL and BBL treatments can be done on the face, chest, back or hands. This treatment works best on lighter skin tones.

So how do the three stack up against each other?

Clear + Brilliant vs .Microneedling vs Photofacial
Clear + Brilliant vs. Microneedling vs. Photofacial

How the Clear + Brilliant and Microneedling treatments are similar:

1. They both stimulate collagen production with controlled micro injuries
2. They’re both minimally invasive
3. They both reduce the size of pores
4. They both improve early signs of aging
5. They can both correct acne, pigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, skin tone and texture
6. Can do either treatment as often as 3 to 4 weeks
7. Both treatments can be combined as part of a long term skin care correcting treatment plan, spacing them out by at least 4 weeks
8. Both treatments can be performed on the face, neck and chest as well as hands and arms.

How Clear + Brilliant and Microneedling treatments are different:

1. Clear + Brilliant removes top layer of skin
2. Clear + Brilliant has less visible downtime than Microneedling
3. Clear + Brilliant is better for treating signs of sun damage, such as brown spots and freckles
4. Skin is red to pink for 2-3 days following Microneedling treatment
5. Skin is red immediately after treatment but looks back to normal the day after Clear + Brilliant with less visible social downtime
6. Skin feels raw for a few days after Microneedling
7. Skin feels like sandpaper for 3-7 days following Clear + Brilliant treatment

Clear + Brilliant vs. IPL (Photofacial)

How the Clear + Brilliant and the Photofacial are similar:

1. They’re both minimally invasive
2. They both stimulate collagen production
3. They both improve early signs of aging, sun damage, skin tone and texture
4. They both reduce fine lines and minimize pores
5. You need a series of treatments to fully remove brown spots for both procedures
6. Both treatments can be done on the face, chest, hands, and arms
7. Can combine both treatments as part of a skin care correcting treatment plan
8. Skin looks back to normal the day after treatment

How the Clear + Brilliant and the Photofacial are different:

1. Clear + Brilliant is for all skin types
2. IPL is not recommended for darker skin tones
3. IPL improves veins and capillaries on the face
4. IPL does not smooth acne scarring
5. IPL does not remove the top layer of skin

All three treatments for the face can be combined to create a skin care treatment plan for best results.

So if you wanted to correct pigmentation, reduce acne scars and reduce vascular lesions, a series of all three spaced three to four weeks apart maybe your best option to give you clearer, younger and healthier looking skin.

It’s best to schedule a consultation at a reputable Medspa to see which treatment or treatment plan is right for you.

New Year Beauty Resolution: Clear + Beautiful Skin

Posted on

New Year Beauty Resolution: Clear + Beautiful Skin

The new year has officially started, and that means new resolutions!

One of the most common goals we’ve already seen for 2020 is clear, youthful and radiant skin.

There have been countless different beauty and skincare trends in the last decade, and we should definitely be leaving some of them there.

From charcoal and red-light masks to CBD and elaborate 15-step routines, we’ve learned that not everything will work on everyone’s skin (or anybody’s for that matter), and a lot of it can be a waste of money and energy.

New Year Resolution Clear & Beautiful Skin

That being said, it’s time to leave all of that in 2019.

It’s a new year, and we’re basically living in the future: technology changes everything in our lives, no less our skincare.

So, isn’t it about time we have a solution for our beauty goals that doesn’t require an endless period of trial-and-error with skincare products, needles or surgery?

2020 has entered the chat, and she says yes!

One of the most innovative procedures to come our way is called Clear + Brilliant.

Essentially, the treatment improves the signs and effects that time and environment can have on your skin, while also preventing visible signs of aging.

Let’s face it: our skin changes over time. Fine lines, enlarged pores and uneven tone and texture can be inevitable, especially as we age.

Even if you take good care of your skin with a consistent, preventative routine with top-notch products, unfortunately nobody can look like they’re in their 20s forever.

Luckily, we’ve discovered and proven new ways to fix what we don’t like and also prevent them from coming.

Clear + Brilliant could be the answer to your New Year’s resolution, but you probably have some questions:

What is Clear + Brilliant and what does it do?

The Clear + Brilliant treatment is a gentle laser procedure that helps to better overall complexion by improving skin tone, texture, uneven pigmentation and the appearance of fine lines and pores, while also treating and preventing signs of aging.

Using fractional laser technology, the treatment works by targeting the upper layers of the skin and replacing damaged cells with healthy tissue.

This essentially triggers the skin’s natural healing process, leaving you with younger looking, radiant skin.

The procedure does not require any surgery or injections, and is 100% non-invasive.

Clear and Brilliant Laser

What should I expect?

A typical Clear + Brilliant treatment begins with a consultation with a licensed professional to establish that the treatment is right for you and your skin concerns.

Before the treatment, your licensed professional may apply a numbing cream to your face to eliminate any possibility of discomfort.

The procedure then consists of guiding a laser hand piece across the skin and target areas, and takes about 20-30 minutes from start to finish.

You will see both immediate and progressive results over the course of a week or two.

Is Clear + Brilliant painful?

The treatment is non-invasive, quick and gentle. Patients have reported that the procedure is minimally painful, with a slightly hot and/or prickly feeling that is easily alleviated by applying ice to the skin.

At most, minor swelling or redness may occur for a few hours following the treatment.

How much does Clear + Brilliant laser treatment cost?

The average cost of a single Clear + Brilliant treatment is around $450, but can vary depending on location, provider and prior state of your skin.

Is Clear + Brilliant worth it?

A high majority of patients say that Clear + Brilliant is worth it due to the results, minimal pain, quickness and downtime of the procedure as compared to other laser treatments.

Patients report that after just one treatment they noticed softer, younger looking skin, improved tone and a radiant glow, and no need to take time off from work.

Clear + Brilliant Before and After:

clear and brilliant before and after

How often should I get the Clear + Brilliant treatment?

Results can most likely be seen after just one session, however 4-6 treatments are recommended in order to notice visible improvements and achieve the look that you want. It is also recommended to separate each treatment by a month for best results, depending on your skin condition and care regimen.

Can I exercise after my Clear + Brilliant treatment?

A light walk is OK following treatment; however, it would be best to avoid strenuous exercise as is it recommended to avoid perspiring and sweating for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Additionally, you should avoid any sun exposure due to heightened sensitivity.

What is the downtime for Clear + Brilliant?

There is little to no downtime for the Clear + Brilliant laser treatment.

Patients are able to get the procedure while on lunch break on a work day and return back looking and feeling normal.

At most, some slight redness or heat may occur on the face immediately after the procedure, but can be alleviated with ice or a cold pack.

The aftercare is simple, and your doctor may advise using gentle and minimal products on your face while avoiding sunlight.

 

Achieve your New Year’s resolution of finally having the radiant complexion you’ve always dreamed of without surgery, needles or wasting money on trendy products that don’t show results.
