How It Works
Clear + Brilliant uses the same fractionated laser technology as its more intensive cousin, Fraxel — which is how it earned the nickname "baby Fraxel." The laser creates tiny, controlled columns of heat in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched. This triggers your body's natural healing response, boosting collagen production, while the intact areas around each treated column speed up recovery.
Each session resurfaces about 5% of your skin's surface and helps break up damaged cells at the base of the epidermis — evening out tone with minimal disruption to your day.
What can I expect?
You'll notice a difference after just one session — and results keep building with each treatment that follows. Because Clear + Brilliant works gradually, we recommend a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart, then regular touch-ups to keep your skin at its best.
Right after treatment: Mild redness and a warm, sunburn-like feeling for a few hours to a day.
Downtime: Minimal. Most people jump right back into their day — just avoid direct sun and wear SPF 30+ for at least a week.
Best for: Anyone looking to get ahead of early aging, even out tone and texture, or maintain results from a more intensive treatment like Fraxel.
Clear + Brilliant: Your Questions, Answered
Does Clear + Brilliant hurt?
Not really. Most patients feel a warm, tingling sensation rather than pain. We can also apply a numbing cream beforehand if you'd like extra comfort.
How many treatments will I need?
Most people see their best results with 4–6 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, plus periodic touch-ups to maintain the glow
.
What's the difference between Clear + Brilliant and Fraxel?
Think of Clear + Brilliant as Fraxel's gentler sibling. It's built for prevention and maintenance with much less downtime, while Fraxel tackles deeper wrinkles, scarring, and more significant sun damage.
How much downtime is there?
Barely any. You might have some redness for a few hours to a day — similar to a mild sunburn — but most patients go right back to their normal routine.
Am I a good candidate?
Almost everyone. Clear + Brilliant works on all skin tones and types, and it's especially popular with patients in their late 20s through 50s who want to stay ahead of visible aging or refine their skin's tone and texture.
