What can the Clear + Lift Ritual do for me?

This treatment stimulates collagen production underneath the skin’s surface to keep skin looking tight and young. This also improves pore size, and lightens overall complexion.

How does the Clear + Lift Ritual compare to the Pore-Refining Ritual?

Both laser treatments can stimulate collagen production thereby resulting into less visible fine lines, and more glowing skin. However, the Clear + Lift Ritual is more suited for those who want tighter looking face/skin with less wrinkles+fine lines, smaller pores, and brighter/whiter overall complexion, while the Pore-Refining Ritual is best for those wanting to treat deep acne scars, stubborn pigmentations, and rough skin texture. The Clear + Lift Ritual also has no downtime while the Pore-Refining Ritual has downtime as it tackles pigmentation and texture on the surface of the skin.
