Great video. Clear and Brilliant is a great starter laser treatment for a glow and minimal result. Fraxel offers true anti aging and facial rejuvenation. I was a laser tech for 7 years and have had many treatments done to myself. It’s worth saving up for Fraxel is you want or need amazing results. It’s my favorite laser treatment ever!
I had my first fraxel treatment today. Compared to my red light treatment last year, the fraxel is WAY less painful. This new doctor numbed my face for an hour which might be the reason why it hurt less, or maybe the numbing cream was stronger? Anyway, my face is feeling quite warm now, but not painful. I'm so excited to see my results. And hopefully it will be better than the red light, which gave only a slight improvement for my pre-cancerous legions and brown age spots. The fraxel laser is expensive and insurance does not cover, which seems kind of crazy when you consider if it prevents skin cancer it is much less costly than cancer treatment would be later.
Wow, you just made all of this make so much sense! Ive been researching for so long but it was hard to conceptualize. Now I know I would rather have several Clear and Brilliant txs, than a fraxel because my busy lifestyle at the moment. When my kiddos are much older, than a fraxel will be in my future! Thank you for your time and dedication to sharing your wisdom!
Great video that explains it clearly and understandably for clients (some say "patients"). Thanks a lot. I am a little surprised that you do not cover the Fraxel Re:Store with the 1550nm wavelength because the other handpiece of the Clear + Brilliant is 1440nm which is similar in many ways. These treatments work deeper in the dermis, are non-ablative, and very popular among our clients as they really rejuvenate the skin from the inside. The only other thing I would like to mention is to wait with Fraxel until the summer is over, whereas Clear + Brilliant you can safely get in summer... Apply sunscreen, of course, but that is good advice to anyone!
Thank you for this detailed video, the best! I’ve been doing the clear & brilliant for 2 years , once a month for 6 months and I love it. I prefer the permea for texture. I’ve considered the Moxi so this was a great comparison video.
There is no "better" but better for different concerns. They both have a 2940 wavelength (ablative) but halo also has a 1470 wavelength (non ablative). Halo tends to have less downtime and doesn't treat as deeply as profrac
I wish I lived by you! I’m 36- for over a decade I have spent thousands on products and treatments to get even skin tone. I have hereditary dark freckles on cheeks and melasma around mouth. My dad is Italian so I tan easily. I just had a consult for aerolase laser. In your opinion what laser recommendation for someone who has darker freckles/melasma on face. I’m tempted to fly to see you lol also the only thing that I’ve seen any results from is hydroquinone. Thank you!
It's difficult to say because there are so many lasers out there. We can certainly do a zoom call. Melasma is always very challenging. Sometimes hydroquinone can do the trick Occasionally people try prescription tranexamic acid and have phenomenal results but, there are contraindications to this medication so a good history is important to obtain.
Excellent content. Would you please address which laser is recommended for those wanting to proact to basal cell carcinomas? which laser could affect skin at the cellular level and destroy basal cells before they turn into lesions. Thanks.
I had my first clear and brilliant laser,i believe the premea. Was very tolerable and yes felt like a sunburn. I did find I was red for several days, is that normal? What is your go-to skincare regime after these lasers for best results and quick healing? Love your videos!!!!
I swear by the Skinbetter Cleansing Gel and Alastin Skin Nectar for post procedure care. Yes it can be normal to have a sunburn feeling for a few days. If the treatment uses more energy and is on a more intense setting, the sunburn feeling can last longer.
Hi Dr. Ania ! I’m looking at getting clear and brilliant treatments and wondering ❓❓how far apart should each of the 4c and b treatments be spaced? And also, how long should you not use your actives prior to the treatment? Thank you very much!😊 love this channel! ❤
Thank you so much!!! You can do them 4 weeks apart. In terms of stopping actives, I would ask your clinician. Some stop 4-5 days in advance, others don't. So it's worth having that conversation.
It depends on you. If you want a strong treatment with downtime or gentle treatment without downtime. It depends on your skin and how much resurfacing it needs. Every laser has a purpose. You'd need to get a consultation to determine which is right for you.@@anusharma3351
Of all the lasers, I would not have chosen to buy the clear and brilliant if I thought other lasers were better. I love it and think its amazing. But there's a purpose to every laser. They are different because they have different targets and different down time. Some are safe on darker skin tones others are dangerous. It just depends on what is best for each individual. @@anusharma3351

Would one fraxel treatment d this? and do you know the name of this in South Africa?
This was extremely informative yet easy to understand. Thanks Dr. Ania Marie!
Explained so well and was easy to understand. Thank you!
Super helpful, as always. Can’t wait to come see you for a clear and brilliant.
I can't wait either! You will love it!!!

hello dies the clear and Brilliant gives the same results as a medical microneedling session? thank you
Perfect timing, I have soooo many questions about clear and brilliant 🎉
Thank you 😊
I hope this was a good start to finding some answers!
Thank you Dr Ania. Such a simple but clear explanation 🙏 what do you think of ultra clear laser? Thank you and have a blessed day🙏❤️

I love your videos! What laser do you think is best for acne/acne scarring?
Thank you! Aerolase Neo is nice for acne because it helps minimize oil. Resurfacing lasers are good for acne scarring, as well as microneedling.
Thank you for this detailed video, the best! I’ve been doing the clear & brilliant for 2 years , once a month for 6 months and I love it. I prefer the permea for texture. I’ve considered the Moxi so this was a great comparison video.
So is moxi a better laser be usde its so adjustable by the providor?
Could you please share your opinion about sofwave? 🙏
It is another great video.
I love your videos ❤
Thank you is much!! ❤️
How do you feel about castor oil to seal in your moisturizer?
Super video very interesting❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
What is the difference between profrac and Halo and which one is stronger or better? 😘
There is no "better" but better for different concerns. They both have a 2940 wavelength (ablative) but halo also has a 1470 wavelength (non ablative). Halo tends to have less downtime and doesn't treat as deeply as profrac

Lasers are not used to treat skin cancer but pre cancerous lesions can be improved with resurfacing lasers like fraxel, halo etc

Great info! If doing a fraxel a year. Do you think doing one or two clear brilliant also too much ? Thank you
That sounds like a good combination but I would ask your doctor

@@theocbeautymd Perfect! Thank you so much!
Would a Fotona 'Go & Glo' laser treatment be similar to Clear & Brilliant laser's effect?
Its a completely different laser but can have similar results
How many clear and brilliants treatments equal a moxi treatment?
about 1.5 to 2
Very informative
Do these lasers melt facial threads?
Great Question! No, laser light does not melt fat. It is too superficial. Energy based devices can potentially melt fat.
All I got from fraxel was scars. I had perfect skin before fraxel. Worst decision ever.
It probably wasn't the fraxel as much and the person operating it. I'm sorry to hear that. That is truly unacceptable and should not happen.
Dr please tell me about alma hybrid laser 🙏
It's also 2 lasers in one. Its a CO2 ablative laser and a 1570 non ablative laser
Thanks for your reply🙏 is it better than clear and brilliant or fraxel🙏
