About: Clear and Brilliant®

Results will be visible 3-5 days for facial areas and up to one week for other parts of the body. After this time, you will notice visibly clearer, healthier, and softer skin. Your results will also last for months depending on your skin condition, age and of course, how well you look after your skin.

*Yads’ recommends 2-3 treatments spaced every four to six weeks to begin with, followed by a review. Treatment number and frequency will be reviewed by Yads based on your unique concerns.

Anyone presenting with skin cancers or suspicious lesions in the treatment area, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) – increased light sensitivity and if you have had any chemical peels or applied fake tan in the last two weeks it’s advised to wait. Additionally, Efudex and corticosteroids use is not recommended.

Pre-Clear and Brilliant® treatment it’s important to stop the use of topical retinoids for 5 days prior, avoid fake tanning or excessive UV exposure and please leave at least two weeks between anti-wrinkle and dermal filler appointments. If you are prone to cold sores, it’s also advised to use an over-the-counter prophylactic to reduce the risk of a post-treatment breakout.

*Prior to your first treatment, Yads will consult with you to assess your suitability for Clear + Brilliant® and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.

Due to the heat, you may feel discomfort during your treatment, and for a few hours after until it subsides. Redness and swelling can also occur which normally resolves within a few days, to a few weeks.

Clear + Brilliant® feels hot and scratchy on the skin. Post treatment your skin will feel as though it has been sunburnt for a few hours before it subsides.

It is important to follow your clinician’s advice post treatment. For at least five days post treatment it’s advised to use non-active skincare. A gentle moisturiser and cleanser is advised alongside any treatments products Yads prescribes. If you experience any swelling post-treatment, or merely want to reduce the sensation in the skin apply a cool compress or gently fan the treatment area. Always use an SPF 30 or 50+ post treatment (but also every day) and avoid systemic steroids.

DO NOT:

• Exfoliate, pick or scratch at your skin. You need to allow the skin healing process to take place.
• Use any strong skincare products with active ingredients for the first week after your treatment or at least until all signs of irritation and redness have disappeared.

To maintain skin health, Yads recommends regular monthly treatments. Please reach out to her if you have any questions or concerns regarding this treatment.
