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.
Before Your Clear + Brilliant® Treatment
Before your Clear + Brilliant® appointment, you will meet with our team to confirm that you are a good candidate for treatment. Patients with certain skin conditions, damaged skin in the treatment area, active cold sores, or a history of keloid scarring or keloid formation may need to postpone or avoid treatment. To prepare for optimal results, patients are typically advised to avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and certain skincare products for several days prior to treatment. You may also be asked to pause the use of retinoids or exfoliating agents to reduce sensitivity.
Your Clear + Brilliant® Treatment
Your Clear + Brilliant® appointment is a comfortable, in-office procedure designed to fit seamlessly into your routine. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort, and most patients describe the sensation as a warm, prickling feeling rather than pain. During the treatment, the fractional laser delivers precise energy to the skin, creating microscopic treatment zones that trigger healing and the formation of new skin cells and collagen. A single session typically takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
After Your Clear + Brilliant® Treatment
Patients should expect some sunburn-like redness and heat for the first 1-2 days following Clear and Brilliant lasers. There is minimal downtime, and our aesthetics providers will give you detailed aftercare instructions for your skin. This may include wearing SPF 30+ daily and avoiding excessive sun exposure to protect your results. Following a professional skincare regimen can also help to boost outcomes.
What to Expect from Clear + Brilliant®
Following your Clear + Brilliant laser treatment, you may notice results within 3-4 days. 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.
