Clear + brilliant® laser
non-ablative laser for aging, acne, and scarring
Clear + Brilliant is a cutting-edge, non-ablative fractional laser treatment designed to enhance skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. This gentle yet effective treatment is ideal for individuals looking to improve skin quality, especially for those dealing with mild to moderate acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. The procedure is minimally invasive and offers a range of benefits, making it a popular choice for those seeking smoother, more youthful skin without significant downtime.
How Clear + Brilliant Works Clear + Brilliant utilizes fractional laser technology, which involves the use of tiny microbeams of light that target specific areas of the skin. These microbeams create controlled, microscopic injuries in the deeper layers of the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, encouraging collagen production and skin regeneration. As the skin heals, new collagen fibers are produced, helping to improve skin elasticity, reduce scarring, and smooth out imperfections.
benefits of Clear + Brilliant
Clear + Brilliant helps smooth out rough skin and improve overall skin texture by targeting superficial imperfections. It works wonders for reducing the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. The laser treatment also helps address post- inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), a common issue for those with acne-prone skin.
One of the primary benefits of Clear + Brilliant is its ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a vital protein responsible for skin’s strength, firmness, and elasticity. As we age, collagen production slows, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and scar formation. By encouraging new collagen production, Clear + Brilliant helps fill in and reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated complexion.
Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, Clear + Brilliant is non-ablative, meaning it doesn’t remove the top layer of skin. This makes it a gentler option for those seeking skin improvements with little recovery time. Most people experience only mild redness or irritation for a few days following the procedure, making it an excellent option for those with busy schedules who can’t afford long downtimes.
Clear + Brilliant is safe for most skin tones, including darker skin types, which are often more susceptible to pigmentation issues after treatments like traditional lasers. Because it doesn’t penetrate too deeply, there is less risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, making it a safer option for a wider range of individuals.
Clear + Brilliant is designed for gradual improvements, making it an ideal treatment for individuals seeking subtle, long-lasting results. Over a series of sessions (typically 4–6), patients can expect smoother, brighter skin with a reduction in scars and fine lines. The results are not immediate, but the cumulative effect over time leads to noticeable and natural-looking skin enhancements.
Clear + Brilliant can also help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Acne often leads to increased pore size, and Clear + Brilliant helps refine and tighten pores, making them less noticeable. This contributes to an overall smoother, more even skin texture.
Clear + Brilliant can be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with other skincare therapies. When paired with treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, or Celluma Light Therapy, Clear + Brilliant can enhance overall results, targeting both the surface and deeper layers of the skin for more comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
