Clear + Brilliant® is a treatment that uses fractional laser technology to correct and prevent early signs of skin aging and smoothen skin texture. It is a non-ablative treatment, meaning that it does not remove the top layer of the skin. Instead, it works by creating microchannels in the skin to promote collagen production and resurface the skin, resulting in an improvement of texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Developed by Solta Medical, a leading US company in aesthetic skin treatments that also produced Thermage and Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant® is FDA and CE cleared. This treatment is particularly popular among younger clients concerned about the first signs of ageing, as it’s designed to maintain a youthful glow with minimal downtime.
Clear + Brilliant® is a non-ablative laser that renews your skin from the inside out. The laser energy creates millions of microscopic treatment zones in your skin, replacing damaged skin with healthier, younger tissue. Unlike other conventional lasers that use a stamping delivery method, Clear + Brilliant® utilises a patented Intelligent Optical Tracking System (IOTS). This advanced technology provides consistent coverage, ensuring a uniform and toned treatment area that enhances radiance and refines the skin texture.

This treatment is also less aggressive compared to other lasers, making it highly suitable for Asian skin. Many patients enjoy these effects for months post-treatment, depending on age, skin condition, and aftercare.

Clear + Brilliant® is a beneficial treatment for woman and men of all ages and skin types, who are looking to prevent the signs of ageing, help correct early signs of ageing or maintain the look of their skin. As with any procedure or treatment, results can vary by individual.
Clear + Brilliant® may also be suitable for sensitive skin types, but can only be determined by the doctor.
Clear + Brilliant® treatments on average take about 20 minutes or less for each patient.
About six treatments, ranging from two weeks to three months apart is recommended for optimum results.
You may feel a mild prickling sensation during the treatment, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
Clear + Brilliant® Laser treatment is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, some patients may experience some skin dryness and sensitivity, which is normal after a laser procedure. To alleviate this dryness and enhance hydration, we recommend combining your treatment with Profhilo. Profhilo is a HA-based injectable that stimulates collagen in your skin and improves skin quality. Downtime varies by the individual, with some patients reporting mild pinkness lasting for 2-3 days.
When it comes to producing drastic skin resurfacing, some choose more aggressive lasers for drastic results. But not everyone can afford the long downtime of five to seven days.
If you’re one of these people, you may find Clear + Brilliant® to be a suitable option. It can be seen as straddling the gap between spa treatments and ablative lasers such as fractional lasers.
However, even if Clear + Brilliant® can be faster than other treatments, it is important to check with your doctor to see if it fits your skin type and condition.
Following your laser procedure, you can do a gentle facial 1 week later. For facials that involve machines such as I2PL, M22, and RF, or chemical peels, we recommend waiting for a duration of 2 weeks.
Your skin will feel softer and look brighter within a week or two after one treatment. The results of Clear + Brilliant® Laser can last for several months. However, your skin condition, the rate at which your skin ages and your skincare habits will influence the longevity of your results.
Clear + Brilliant® Laser can often be combined with other treatments, such as chemical peels or facials, to achieve even more dramatic results. Clear + Brilliant® treatments may be complementary to many cosmetic procedures, like fillers, Thermage treatments, or even Botox.
However, it is recommended to book a consultation with your doctor to learn more about combining Clear + Brilliant® treatments with other procedures.
By following these aftercare guidelines, you can help ensure a smooth recovery and maximise the benefits of your Clear + Brilliant® Laser treatment.
Regardless of age, factors like sun exposure, environmental stressors, and lifestyle choices can impact your skin’s appearance. Clear + Brilliant® is a versatile treatment that can help you maintain a youthful complexion or address the early signs of ageing, making it a suitable option for various age groups.
Yes, definitely. Clear + Brilliant® can be an excellent option to help maintain and enhance the results of previous corrective laser treatments. It allows you to protect your investment in your skin and continue improving your complexion. Consult with your doctor to learn more about how this treatment can complement your skincare journey.
Your Clear + Brilliant® treatment will be conducted by a doctor who will assess your skin and suggest the most suitable treatment plan.
