A brief educational clip (speaker likely Dr. Charles Mok) describing light fractional laser approaches for preventive skin aging. Recommends Clear + Brilliant or 1927/1550 fractional lasers at about 5% coverage for minimal downtime, suggests combining with platelet-rich plasma to speed healing and improve results, and notes some patients may undergo such light treatments quarterly as prevention.

You can have a situation where you're doing something very preventatively. We don't recommend that treatment because it's just not necessary. If your skin looks pretty good, you might do a very light fracture treatment, which is clear and brilliant. Combine that with platelet rich plasma to make it heal faster and get better results. That's the one end of the spectrum where your skin looks good and you want to preserve it. That's clear and brilliant. Using a 1927 or 1550 laser at about 5% coverage. And that's a good, say, beginner that has virtually no downtime. In other words, if you go out in public the next day, nobody knows you had anything done. You can kind of feel your skin feels a little sandpapery, but there's no real social downtime with that. And that can be done preventatively. Some people might do that, let's say, every quarter just to kind of stop the aging from occurring.
