What Is Clear + Brilliant Laser?

Skin care can feel overwhelming, especially when your concerns are unique. Even with a healthy lifestyle and consistent skincare, changes in tone, texture, and brightness can still appear over time. These early signs of aging are often challenging to address with products alone.

Clear + Brilliant laser is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to improve skin clarity and texture. It is often chosen by patients who want to refresh their skin and address early signs of aging without downtime.

This fractional laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin. These zones trigger the body’s natural healing response, which supports collagen production and healthy cell turnover. Over time, skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even, helping maintain a refreshed appearance.

Is Clear + Brilliant Right for Me?

Clear + Brilliant laser treatments are an effective option for women and men seeking to restore the youthful beauty of their skin or combat the signs of early aging. You may be a good candidate if you want to improve your skin’s texture and tone. This treatment also works well for adults with mild fine lines or a dull complexion.

It is important to note that if you are looking to rejuvenate your skin with Clear + Brilliant for a special event, the treatment should be performed at least two weeks before the event.

People with realistic expectations about gradual improvements see the best results.

What Happens During the Procedure

To begin, patients must arrange a consultation with our experienced dermatologist, Dr. David Kriegel. During this time, pertinent medical information will be collected, and your skin will be thoroughly examined. Your doctor will explain the procedure to help determine whether Clear + Brilliant is your best option.

The information obtained during your consultation will be used to calibrate the machine to the specifications that meet your personal skin care needs. You will be given protective eyewear to eliminate any risk during the procedure, and a topical numbing cream can be applied to decrease potential discomfort.

The handpiece will be slowly guided over the skin in the desired areas so the laser light can take effect. The device is applied for 15-minute intervals to allow the skin to rest between applications. One session typically takes 30 minutes.

How many Clear + Brilliant treatments will I need?

Results can be seen in as few as a single treatment, but most patients will need multiple treatments to achieve their desired results. On average, most patients need around three treatments. Touch-up treatments are also an excellent choice for maintaining your skin’s radiant appearance for as long as possible.

The schedule for your Clear + Brilliant treatment series will depend on factors such as your skin type and natural healing rate. Treatments are typically scheduled every two to six weeks. Our team can recommend the best treatment schedule for your skin.

What to Expect After Your Treatment

Because the process is entirely non-invasive, your body does not require a lengthy recovery period. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or discomfort immediately after treatment, but these effects usually fade within about 12 hours. Some patients also notice temporary skin sensitivity or itchiness in the treated areas. It is a normal response and typically settles within a few hours as the skin begins to renew itself.

“I was impressed by both the staff and Dr.Kriegel. The appointment was timely which is great when going to a Dermatologist. The doctor was patient, empathetic, and very knowledgeable. I was new to his office without a referral as I just luckily picked a wonderful doctor off the internet. I plan on making him my regular Dermatologist and will recommend him to friends, family, and colleagues.”

The Clear + Brilliant Advantage

Clear + Brilliant is a non-invasive, non-surgical, and extremely gentle treatment that comes with several anti-aging and skin health benefits, including the following:

Improved and more even skin tone with an added radiant and youthful glow
The removal of dead and damaged skin cells to improve skin texture
A reduction in the size and appearance of pores
Enhancement of skin health, not just the visual improvement of the signs of aging
Little to no required recovery time

The treatment uses gentle, unique, and highly advanced fractional laser technology that is effective and safe for all skin types. The laser light is introduced into the body via a specialized handpiece equipped with a patented Intelligent Optical Tracking System (IOTS).

The IOTS detects skin contact through specialized treatment tip rollers to deliver even coverage and support safety during the procedure. The laser energy works beneath the skin’s surface, encouraging the replacement of damaged skin cells with healthy new ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Clear + Brilliant painful?

The treatment involves minimal discomfort thanks to a topical numbing cream applied beforehand. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and tingly rather than painful. Any discomfort is brief and well-tolerated by the majority of people.

Can I wear makeup after my treatment?

You should wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to heal properly. The best Clear + Brilliant laser provider will give you specific aftercare instructions, including gentle cleansers and moisturizers. Mineral-based makeup is usually the best choice when you resume application.

How is Clear + Brilliant different from other laser treatments?

Clear + Brilliant uses lower energy levels than more aggressive fractional lasers like Fraxel. This means gentler treatment with less downtime but more gradual results. It's ideal for prevention and maintenance rather than correcting significant skin damage. Learn more about Fraxel laser repair if you need more intensive resurfacing.

When will I see results from Clear + Brilliant?

You may notice subtle improvements within a week as your skin's texture refines. Full results develop gradually over the course of your treatment series. Peak results typically appear one to two months after completing all recommended sessions.

Who should avoid Clear + Brilliant treatments?

People with active skin infections or open wounds should postpone treatment until healed. Pregnant or nursing women should wait before undergoing laser procedures. Those with certain skin conditions or who take photosensitizing medications may not be suitable candidates. Your consultation will determine if this treatment is right for you.
