Selected Real-World Cases
The expert panel selected 8 cases to illustrate real-world, integrated skincare regimens using botanical corrective gel in a diverse group of patients with varying cosmetic enhancement concerns and goals. These patient outcomes reflect real-world clinical use of botanical corrective gel as an adjunct therapy to laser and MRF therapy.

CASE 1

Laser/Energy-Based Procedure: Clear + Brilliant Non-Ablative Fractional Laser Skin Care Complement: Botanical Corrective Gel
A 28-year-old female with Fitzpatrick Skin Type VI, presented with a concern of dull complexion. Without any notable past medical history, she was treated with Clear + Brilliant laser to help with skin brightening. Immediately after treatment on day 0, the patient had mild erythema on her malar cheek surfaces. The botanical corrective gel was applied immediately after treatment and the patient was instructed to continue applying the gel twice daily in conjunction with her normal skin care.
