Clear + Brilliant®
Clear + Brilliant®?
What is Clear + Brilliant®?
Clear + Brilliant®, also sometimes written as Clear and Brilliant, is a gentle, nonablative fractional laser treatment that can achieve all-around improvement in your skin’s appearance. At Clear Dermatology & Aesthetics Center, this option is one of our most popular choices for its quick, easy, and affordable treatments, as well as its ability to be customized to your unique needs.
What Can Clear + Brilliant® Treat?
Clear + Brilliant® is an excellent option for maintaining youthful and radiant skin or as a way to prevent the need for more invasive or aggressive skincare treatments. It can achieve noticeable improvement in the following skin concerns:
- Pigmentation
- Uneven skin texture
- Scars
- Uneven skin tone
- Melasma
- Age spots
- Dullness and dryness
This laser skin treatment can be performed anywhere on the body but is most commonly performed on the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and hands to achieve skin rejuvenation. It is a popular option to address facial aging for a rejuvenated appearance.
Who is a Clear + Brilliant® Candidate?
Individuals of all skin types who are concerned with early signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tones and texture, mild hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or a dull skin complexion, can often benefit from Clear and Brilliant treatments. However, this treatment is not ideal for those with certain skin conditions, with damaged skin in the treatment area, with active cold sores, or with a history of keloid scarring. The best way to determine candidacy is through a consultation appointment at our office.
How Does Clear + Brilliant® Work?
Clear + Brilliant® is a gentle laser treatment that boosts collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein that gives your skin its youthful quality, and its abundance begins to fade as you age. Clear + Brilliant® produces hundreds of microscopic treatment zones in the skin using laser energy, prompting your skin to generate new tissue to heal it, as well as remove dead skin cells. Along with this, new collagen is produced, giving the treatment area a brighter, plumper, and firmer quality. By doing this, Clear + Brilliant® can achieve an overall more youthful quality to the skin, improving its look and feel.
Clear + Brilliant® Results
Following your Clear + Brilliant laser treatment, you may notice results within 3-4 days, but you can expect some sunburn-like redness and heat for the first 1-2 days. There is minimal downtime, and our aesthetics providers will give you detailed aftercare instructions for your skin, including wearing SPF 30+ daily and avoiding excessive sun exposure to protect your results. Following a professional skincare regimen can also help to boost outcomes. Most patients see visible improvements with a single treatment, but results are boosted with a series of treatments and maintenance treatments are recommended to slow down the aging process. Our team will give you a customized treatment schedule for your goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the results of Clear + Brilliant®?
Clear + Brilliant® produces softer, more radiant skin with as little as one treatment. You’ll notice a reduction in pigmentation, texture, and dullness as well.
How does Clear + Brilliant® work?
This gentle laser technology creates tiny “channels” in the skin, or areas of damage that prompt the skin to repair itself. It does so by producing healthy new skin and collagen while leaving the areas of untreated skin intact to reduce downtime.
When do Clear + Brilliant® results appear and how long do they last?
Results are visible within 3-4 days of treatment but can take 1-2 weeks to fully develop. Your results can be maintained for several months, and you can extend your results with further treatments.
How many Clear + Brilliant® treatments are needed?
We typically recommend 4-6 treatments to fully treat concerns. You can also return for maintenance treatments as needed. We will give you a specific recommendation based on your unique skincare goals.
I’ve had other corrective laser treatments. Is Clear + Brilliant® right for me, too?
Yes – Clear + Brilliant® is a great way to maintain the results of your other treatments by continually boosting collagen and treating concerns as they arise.
Can I get Clear + Brilliant® treatments if I have already had other treatments?
Clear + Brilliant® can be used alongside other cosmetic treatments like Botox, DiamondGlow, or dermaplaning. Make sure to tell your aesthetic provider of any recent treatments you’ve had.
