How It Works
First, your provider will apply numbing cream to your treatment area to ensure comfort. Next, they’ll glide the Clear and Brilliant Laser applicator across your treatment area. The laser will gently resurface the outermost layer of your skin, revealing healthy, glowing layers beneath.
The micro-injuries also result in the production of new collagen, making your skin smoother, with smaller pores and diminished lines and wrinkles.

Let our team help you on your aesthetic journey!
The only way to find out is to have a personal consultation with a Dream Spa Medical provider. During your consultation, we’ll talk about your concerns, take a look at your possible treatment areas, and go over your medical history. If Clean and Brilliant will address your needs and concerns, we’ll create a customized treatment plan just for you.
Clear and Brilliant Laser is great for women and men looking to fight the early signs of aging, including:
- Sun damage
- Environmental damage
- Natural effects of aging
- Lifestyle choices
- Scarring/stretch marks
Your treatment may involve topical numbing cream being applied to your face prior to treatment for optimal comfort.
After your Clear and Brilliant Laser treatment, you can still expect your treatment area to have:
- Mild to moderate redness and swelling.
- A slight sunburn feel.
- Possible slight peeling/flaking.
If you experience any of these, they typically subside within 3 to 5 days. The sunburn feeling usually dissipates within the first hour or so after treatment.
Though there’s no downtime, full healing usually takes 1 to 3 weeks. Optimal results will become visible in 1 to 3 months as your body finishes healing and replenishing collagen.
Clear and Brilliant Luxe laser therapy delivers an effective, gentle therapy to fight the appearance of aging skin. The clinically proven system includes an advanced precision energy delivery device that ensures proper contact with the skin for uniform application of the laser energy.
Clear and Brilliant creates microscopic treatment zones in your skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s healing response, replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger-looking tissue.
Pre- and Post-Care Instructions for Clear & Brilliant Laser in Foxborough
- Women who are pregnant should not receive laser treatment. If you are nursing and would like to pursue treatment, we ask that you consult your PCP for clearance.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
- Please avoid using self-tanners for 2 weeks prior to your appointment, specifically in the area to be treated. If you have used self-tanner outside of the 2-week timeframe, we ask that you please exfoliate the area to ensure no remnants of the product are left in the area to be treated. The self-tanner could compromise your treatment, as the laser cannot distinguish between self-tanner and melanin (a common target for all laser wavelengths); therefore, the laser may not reach its intended target. More importantly, the laser energy could burn the surface of the skin since the laser is targeting the “tanned area” instead of the intended treatment area.
- Your provider can help guide you on your specific products and make recommendations on what to avoid, but as a general rule, active ingredients such as acids (glycolic, salicylic, etc), retinol products (Rx or over-the-counter), or topical prescriptions, such as antibiotic or steroid creams, should be avoided 7 days prior to your appointment. The exception to this would be if you are using our suggested Environ Vitamin A treatment cream or serum (Youth Essentia A or Skin Essentia A). These products should always be used leading up to your treatment
- Please inform us of any tattoos or permanent makeup in the treatment area. We want to be sure to avoid treating near any ink, as the laser may disturb or discolor the area.
- For our patients who have dark/coarse hair in the area to be treated, we ask that you please shave the day of your appointment.
- If you are prone to Herpes Labialis outbreaks, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription
- We ask that if you are currently taking oral antibiotics or steroids, you discontinue the medication for 10 days prior to your appointment.
- If you are currently taking or have taken Isotretinoin or any Accutane-type medications, we ask that you wait at least 6 months before pursuing any aesthetic procedures.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best as well as help to accelerate your healing time and enhance results.
- Mild redness and swelling can be expected. This typically subsides within 24 hours. Your skin will have a sandpaper-like texture for up to 10 days post-treatment. This is more of a personal feeling and will not be visible to anyone else.
- Your provider will send you home with SkinCeuticals PhytoCorrective Masque and Epidermal Repair. PhytoCorrective Masque is a calming product. It’s great to sleep in this mask overnight to further calm your skin and enhance your results! You will use Epidermal Repair to soothe and repair your skin for the next 3-5 days.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, and excessive temperatures for 24 hours.
- If you are experiencing sensitivity or a mild/moderate rash-like appearance on your skin, you may apply hydrocortisone or take an oral antihistamine. If symptoms do not improve over a 48-hour period with these interventions, please call us to schedule a follow-up so a provider can make the appropriate recommendations.
- Your provider will make appropriate home care recommendations tailored to your specific plan, but a general rule is to avoid all active ingredients such as acids (glycolic, salicylic, etc.), retinol products (Rx or over-the-counter), or topical prescriptions, such as antibiotic or steroid creams, until your skin feels “back to normal” or for a minimum of 2 days. The exception to this would be if you are using our suggested Environ Vitamin A treatment cream or serum (Youth Essentia A or Skin Essentia A). These products can be used as early as the following day.
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, or depilatory use for 2 weeks post-treatment.
- Always use a physical protectant SPF (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) and reapply throughout the day. We strongly recommend ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica as a base in the morning and ISDIN Mineral brush for reapplying throughout the day.
- We strongly discourage you from exposing the treated area directly to the sun, and we encourage you to avoid the use of tanning beds for at least 2 weeks following this procedure.
- You may proceed with any cosmetic procedures or injectable treatments immediately following your treatment. It is best to wait 2 weeks for any additional aesthetic services. We are always happy to make accommodations when scheduling to ensure that you are able to receive all of the treatments that you are interested in, as long as they can be performed on the same day. We know your time is valuable, and we want to make it seamless for you to make Dream Spa Medical your one-stop-shop for all your cosmetic needs.
- We strongly encourage you to experience our signature Clear and Brilliant Luxe™ facial. This treatment incorporates our Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial at the end of your laser treatment. The hyaluronic acid serum that is infused into your skin with a proprietary oxygen delivery system will not only enhance your results, it also will greatly decrease your “downtime”.
If you are experiencing any symptoms outside of the “Normal” range (those mentioned above) please reach out to Dream Spa Medical immediately so that we can work to remedy any and all issues or simply just be a listening ear to your questions and concerns to ensure that you feel comfortable.
If you are experiencing an emergency outside of our open hours, please call our clinical emergency line at 781-222-0176.
