For the original Clear + Brilliant laser treatment, a topical anesthetic ointment may be applied before the procedure. Afterward, mild redness and swelling may occur, which typically subside within a few hours.
For the Clear + Brilliant Perméa laser treatment, a topical anesthetic is not required but is usually used. A topical skincare product, such as an antioxidant serum, will be applied to each treated area after the treatment is administered. This combination approach is used to address post-treatment skin responses such as redness and swelling.
