Increasingly, people are looking for methods of skin rejuvenation that provide efficacious results with minimal downtime. Clear + Brilliant provides both, making it a popular choice for a variety of people, especially celebrities.
What is it?
Clear + Brilliant is a diode laser that causes microscopic controlled injury to the skin, which triggers elastic tissue formation and collagen remodeling, resulting in skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
What are its benefits?
In addition to improving overall skin quality – giving your skin a “glow”, Clear + Brilliant also improves the following:
- Fine lines
- Skin tone
- Skin texture
- Melasma and other pigment irregularities
- Pore size
What is a treatment like?
After cleansing the skin that will be treated, we apply a topical numbing cream to the area to ensure patient comfort. Downtime can be as little as one day or up to one week, with typical healing time being from two to four days, during which clients can expect the area treated to be pink to red, and potential tenderness in the area. Bruising, tenderness, and a dry “sandpaper” feel to the skin can be seen and typically resolve in about three days. Most people resume their regular activities immediately following treatment.

Before and After Care
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does Clear + Brilliant improve skin texture and tone?
Clear + Brilliant is a gentle fractional laser designed to improve skin texture, tone, and radiance while stimulating collagen and encouraging skin renewal. It can help soften early fine lines, reduce mild discoloration, and improve overall skin smoothness with minimal downtime.
Who benefits most from Clear + Brilliant treatments?
Clear + Brilliant is ideal for patients who want a preventative treatment for early aging or a “skin refresh” to improve dullness, mild texture, or uneven tone. It is a popular option for a wide range of ages and skin types looking for gradual, natural improvement.
What can patients expect during a Clear + Brilliant session?
The laser is passed evenly across the skin after cleansing and numbing (optional but often recommended). Patients typically describe a warm, prickly sensation. Treatment usually takes 20–30 minutes, and most people return to normal activities the same day.
How many treatments are recommended?
Most patients do best with 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every few months can help sustain results depending on goals and lifestyle factors.
Are there side effects or downtime?
Side effects are typically mild and may include redness, warmth, and slight roughness or flaking for a few days. Proper aftercare, including sunscreen and gentle skincare, helps support healing and optimize results.
How does Clear + Brilliant compare to more aggressive lasers?
Clear + Brilliant is not designed for deep resurfacing. Compared to more aggressive lasers (like fractional CO₂), it offers subtle improvement with minimal downtime, making it a great option for maintenance, prevention, and glow.
Can Clear + Brilliant be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It pairs well with treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, Botox, and dermal fillers. Your dermatologist can create a customized plan based on your goals and the best treatment sequencing.
These little openings on my nose are pores. They are totally normal. You do not need to do anything about them. If you don’t like them and you find them too big, there are things you can consider to help shrink them. Number one, lasers over skincare. People on this app talk about skincare all the time to shrink pores. It doesn’t really do much. It helps clean out pores. It’s not gonna shrink them. You need to find a device that’ll help build collagen. This can be lasers like fractional CO2, Pico Laser, Clear and Brilliant, Fraxel. Um, it can be devices like radiofrequency microneedling. These will help build collagen and shrink pores. And number two, patience is really important. It takes time to see results, and results will vary.
