Clear & Brilliant
Book NowClear + Brilliant® is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser treatment designed to “prejuvenate” skin by creating microscopic treatment zones that stimulate collagen and elastin production. A typical session lasts 30–45 minutes (including prep), and most patients pursue an initial series of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart to achieve and maintain a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Arrive with clean skin. Do not wear makeup, creams, oils, or perfume on the treatment area. Discontinue retinol, exfoliants, and active topical products 2–3 days prior to treatment.
Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning before treatment. Avoid sunless tanners for at least 1–2 weeks prior. Daily sunscreen use is strongly recommended leading up to your appointment.
Avoid NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Aspirin) and other blood-thinning products for 2–3 days prior unless prescribed. Inform your provider of any medications or supplements.
Reschedule if you have active infection, open wounds, rash, or cold sores in the treatment area. Inform your provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have used Accutane within the past 6 months.
Stay well hydrated. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment. Inform your provider of any recent procedures or skin treatments.
Return to work or social activities immediately; makeup and sunscreen may be applied post-session.
Treatment feels like a light warming sensation; no topical anesthesia needed, though optional numbing can be used.
Select Original and/or Perméa handpieces, adjust pulse density, and tailor session count to your goals.
Noticeable improvements in softness, tone, and glow within one week; cumulative benefits over subsequent treatments.
Clear + Brilliant® employs two proprietary wavelengths (1440 nm and 1927 nm) delivered via the Original and Perméa handpieces, creating thousands of microscopic columns of thermal injury in the epidermis and superficial dermis. These zones trigger natural healing, boosting collagen and cell turnover with minimal recuperation time.
Your treatment begins with a personalized consultation to review medical history and select the appropriate Clear + Brilliant® handpiece (Original for texture and pores; Perméa for pigmentation and enhanced product uptake).
During the session, the laser handpiece is guided uniformly across the skin, delivering thousands of microscopic thermal zones over 15–20 minutes of lasing (total appointment ~30 minutes).
You may feel a gentle warming; built-in cooling and optional numbing cream ensure a comfortable experience.
Post-treatment, microscopic columns heal rapidly—improvements begin within days and continue as collagen remodels.
A series of 4–6 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal, lasting results.
Mild redness, warmth, and a sandpaper-like texture are expected. The skin may feel rough for several days. Mild swelling or tightness may occur but typically resolves quickly.
Avoid applying makeup, sunscreen, or skincare products for the first 12–24 hours unless instructed. Avoid touching the treated area. Gentle cooling may be used if needed.
After 24 hours, gently cleanse with a mild cleanser. Use a gentle moisturizer or hydrating serum as recommended. Avoid retinol, exfoliants, acids, and active ingredients for 3–5 days. Do not scrub or exfoliate the skin.
Avoid heat, saunas, steam, and intense exercise for 24 hours. Avoid excessive sweating and alcohol for 24 hours.
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30–50+) after 24 hours once the skin feels comfortable. Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 5–7 days. Wear protective clothing outdoors. Makeup may be resumed after 24 hours if the skin feels comfortable.
Skin texture may feel rough for 3–5 days as it renews. Results appear gradually with improved tone and brightness. Contact your provider if you experience persistent redness, swelling, or signs of infection.
