When you are no longer a sweet, young thing, it takes extra effort to keep your skin looking youthful and radiant. It was great news when Dr. Elias Tam from EHA Clinic introduced Clear + Brilliant Laser to me.
Clear + Brilliant is a revolutionary, gentle laser skin care treatment, clinically proven to fight the effects of aging skin. One of the most gentle laser treatments for skin, it creates micro-injuries in the skin, forcing the skin to heal itself and therefore boosting collagen production and generating clear and healthy skin.
Benefits of Clear + Brilliant Laser:
– safe, non-surgical, and non-invasive
– gentle on the skin
– fights natural effects of aging
– improve tone and texture
– gives skin a radiant, youthful glow
– Creates a more even skin canvas
– reduce the appearance of pores
I always believe that prevention is better than cure, so anti-aging treatments should start early. Regular laser sessions are beneficial for our skin in the long run and your skin will be thanking you for it in 10 years' time!
I headed for my Clear and Brilliant Laser session at EHA Clinic and because this is the first time I'm doing laser on my skin (except my previous laser hair removal treatment years back), I felt a little nervous.
The Process:
Step 1: Applying numbing cream to lower the ouch factor.
Dr. Tam started working the laser on my face after the numbing cream was removed. It wasn’t as painful as I had imagined it to be. I would be lying if I said that it is painless. It felt like little rubber bands snapping on my skin, that’s it.
My face was red after the treatment, but there wasn’t any stinging sensation. It felt normal.
A better look at the redness. Dr. Tam told me that the redness will go away in a day or two so I don’t have to worry about it.
A soothing serum was applied on my skin to help it heal better, and enhance the effects of the Clear and Brilliant Laser.
There was no pain or discomfort post-laser but my skin felt a little wind-chapped and sandpaper-like for the next few days. You can’t tell the roughness just by looking at it, but you can feel it upon touching. I was worried because I have a photo shoot 2 days later but Dr. Tam told me its ok and I can go ahead with the shoot.
The very next day after the Clear + Brilliant Laser treatment. The redness was gone and I could put on my makeup. But the sandpaper-like feeling was still there. It took a few days before the roughness went away.
I even attended an event the very next day!
2 days post treatment and I took this photo before heading out for a photo shoot.
So for those who are worried about downtime, there is none. Perhaps maybe a few hours post treatment you will have a reddish face but that is about it!
Will I get Clear + Brilliant Laser treatment again?
Yes, I totally will. Pores are less visible and you cannot ignore the clear skin and the glow on your face after the treatment. Regular Clear + Brilliant Laser will keep my skin youthful and firm and it is definitely a great complement to my regular anti-aging and skincare regime!
