Your skin reflects who you are, so we’re sure you treat it like a temple! However, the sad truth is even the most attentive skincare routines can often fall short. Hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage can still become serious as you age. That’s where Clear + Brilliant® laser treatments come in. These treatments work fast to improve the surface of your skin, brighten your complexion, and help you feel absolutely radiant.

What is Clear + Brilliant®?
Clear + Brilliant® laser treatments are gentle skin resurfacing treatments. This device is safe for all skin types for minimizing fine lines, sun spots, mild scarring, and sun damage.
How Does Clear + Brilliant® Work?
The Clear + Brilliant® treatment involves six fast and easy sessions scheduled at least two weeks apart. This laser treats scars, lines, and discolored skin without leaving you with any downtime. Each treatment takes about 20 minutes. The treatment refreshes skin tone and texture by gently penetrating deeper levels of the skin.
This treatment can also increase skin permeability, allowing skincare products to penetrate deeper layers of the skin and work more effectively. The damaged pigmented lesions slough off over the course of approximately one week, leaving the skin feeling slightly rough.
What Results Can I Expect?
The results of this treatment are both immediate and progressive. Within 1-2 weeks after your first treatment, your skin will start to feel softer, look brighter, and show a more even tone with a youthful, radiant glow. Some achieve their perfect results after one treatment; however, many clients need multiple treatments to get that optimal glow.
Results can last for months depending on your age, targeted skin condition, and how you protect your skin. In recent studies, consumers reported visible improvements after 4-6 treatments spaced four weeks apart, though many patients choose to have routine treatments as part of their overall skin care regimen.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Clear + Brilliant® and how does the laser work?
Clear + Brilliant® is a gentle, non-surgical skin resurfacing treatment safe for all skin types. The laser works by gently penetrating the deeper layers of the skin to target and break down sun spots, fine lines, and mild scarring, while simultaneously increasing skin permeability so your daily skincare products work more effectively.
What should I expect during the treatment process and is there any downtime?
The standard treatment regimen consists of six quick, 20-minute sessions spaced at least two weeks apart. The procedure requires absolutely no downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately. However, your skin will feel slightly rough for about a week as the damaged, pigmented lesions naturally slough off.
How quickly will I see results and how long do the effects last?
Results are both immediate and progressive. You will notice softer, brighter, and more evenly toned skin within 1 to 2 weeks after your first session. While an optimal, long-lasting glow is typically achieved after 4 to 6 treatments, results can last for months depending on your age, skin condition, and sun protection habits.
