Clear + brilliant® laser
non-ablative laser for aging, acne, and scarring
Clear + Brilliant is a non-ablative laser skin procedure using Fraxel laser technology, and is commonly called “baby Fraxel.” It triggers the body’s natural healing process and collagen production by creating hundreds of thousands of microscopic treatment zones with pulsed beams of light to treat the upper layer of skin.
