This gentle laser technology is designed to improve the appearance of early signs of aging and for “rejuvenation.”

It’s a movement! The idea is, “Why correct wrinkles, spots, dryness, and other signs of aging when I can prevent it?” Clear + Brilliant is a powerful tool to do just that; halt the effects and stop the visible signs of sun damage from forming in the first place.

In the hands of skilled Certified Advanced Estheticians and Providers, the Clear + Brilliant fractional laser device is directed toward the treatment area. The produced energy is delivered to promote a process of resurfacing; the damaged skin is replaced with fresh and new tissue.

Fractional lasers create microscopic treatment zones. So, instead of the tissue being treated all at once, the tissue is divided into tiny areas. A fraction of skin is treated at a time.

The Clear + Brilliant laser design promotes the most gentle, well-tolerated, low-risk, and no-downtime process possible.

We won’t know for sure until we evaluate your skin and discuss your goals and preferences. Generally, Clear + Brilliant is an excellent preventive treatment and helps minimize lines, visible pores, uneven tone, leathery texture, and discoloration (such as melasma).

Clear + Brilliant is best for earlier or more minor signs of sun damage and aging, for instance, modest lines and hyperpigmentation. We are happy to review other options for treatment with you as needed.

Yes! Solta Medical achieved FDA clearance for the Clear + Brilliant system several years ago, in 2011. It was observed at the time of the announcement that this technology was creating and defining a new category of laser treatments designed for younger patients who want to have more control over the aging process.

No. For starters, the system is non-invasive. No cutting. No needles. For utmost comfort, we may apply a numbing product before the application of the laser and use a zimmer for cold air throughout the procedure.

Your skilled Certified Advanced Esthetician and Provider uses a handpiece to guide the Clear + Brilliant device over your skin. Built-in technology supports precision, uniform, and comfortable treatment. A serum and cooling masque may be applied, and you can also use the system to aid in the absorption of effective skincare products, which increases their effectiveness!

Yes! The actual application of the laser only takes about 20 to 40 minutes. The entire treatment may only require about 60 minutes.

It is very patient-specific. Generally, patients may get the improvement that they desire within around four to six treatment sessions. That depends on the nature and severity of your concerns and your goals, and expected progress. Some patients may choose to make this a routine part of their skin care regimen.

There is nothing to recover from! Your skin may be a little flushed, warm, and feel leathery right afterward, which usually goes away after a day.

Your skin may be more sensitive following treatment. We encourage you to take extra care to avoid damage from the sun and to protect your skin from UV light. Sweat can also irritate your skin. So, you may wish to refrain from exercises that involve lots of sweat for 24 to 48 hours afterward.

Some changes are instant. However, it only takes a week or two for your skin to look noticeably healthier and more youthful. Our patients notice a renewed glow, improved tone, and their skin feels silkier to the touch.

Months. But that all depends on your skin condition to start with and on how well you protect and care for it afterward.

Additional sessions or maintenance treatments can be spaced anywhere from a week to a month apart due to the treatment’s gentle and non-invasive nature. We’ll make recommendations based partly on your skin’s unique characteristics and needs.

Yes! It is safe and low risk for all skin tones. However, we will discuss options and considerations if you have a history of herpes, acne, and eczema flare-ups.

There are many procedures and products that treat the conditions Clear + Brilliant addresses, for instance, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, IPL, and microneedling. Clear + Brilliant may also be safely paired with other cosmetic treatments, including RF Microneedling, Botox and dermal fillers, for complete and dramatic (yet natural) rejuvenation.

The total cost varies from person to person and depends at least partly on the number of treatment sessions that you want or need and the areas you are treating. We look forward to discussing ways to make Clear + Brilliant treatment a reality for you.

Clear + Brilliant and microneedling are both effective skin treatments, but they serve different purposes. Clear + Brilliant uses laser technology to target pigmentation and improve skin tone, while microneedling creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production and treat texture issues. The best choice depends on your specific skin concerns and goals.

Common side effects of Clear + Brilliant include mild redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation that typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Some patients may experience temporary dryness or flaking as the skin heals. Serious side effects are rare but can include hyperpigmentation or prolonged redness.

Clear + Brilliant is a non-invasive treatment with a very low risk of scarring when performed by a qualified professional. However, improper aftercare or treatment on compromised skin may increase the risk of complications. It’s important to follow post-treatment guidelines to ensure safe healing.

Yes, Clear + Brilliant stimulates collagen production by creating controlled micro-damage in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. This increase in collagen helps improve skin texture, tone, and overall radiance over time.

Recovery from Clear + Brilliant is typically quick, with most patients experiencing mild redness and swelling that subsides within 24 hours. Full recovery, including the shedding of dry skin, usually occurs within a week. You can resume normal activities immediately, though it’s important to protect your skin from the sun.
