Clear + Brilliant

Clear + Brilliant is a non-ablative fractional laser. It creates many microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of skin, supporting renewal while leaving surrounding tissue available for recovery. The service is designed for early signs of aging, dullness and uneven texture, with less downtime than more aggressive resurfacing procedures.

It may improve visible radiance, rough texture, the appearance of pores, early fine lines and mild uneven tone. Results vary, and it is not a substitute for surgical lifting, deep resurfacing, treatment of suspicious lesions or medical management of active skin disease.

The 1440 nm wavelength is commonly selected when texture, pores and overall renewal are priorities. The 1927 nm wavelength is more strongly absorbed by water and may be selected for superficial pigment and tone concerns. The provider chooses the handpiece, energy and passes after evaluating skin tone, concern, season and recent sun exposure.

Adults seeking a refreshed look with relatively limited downtime may be candidates. A consultation is essential for clients with melasma, darker skin tones, a history of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, immune concerns or prior laser complications. A conservative plan may be selected when pigment risk is higher.

The manufacturer lists important precautions involving recent tanning or sunburn, active infection, healing problems, photosensitivity, systemic steroids, retinoids, isotretinoin and skin recovering from another procedure. Recent injectables or resurfacing also require timing review. The final decision is made from your health history and current skin condition.

Clients usually describe warmth, prickling or a sandpaper-like sensation. Topical numbing may be used when appropriate. Comfort varies by treatment intensity and individual sensitivity. The skin can feel warm immediately afterward.

Mild to moderate redness and swelling may appear soon after treatment and often improve within 12 to 24 hours, although dryness, sensitivity and a fine rough texture can last longer. Some clients experience itching or pinpoint bleeding. Exact recovery depends on settings and individual response.

Some clients notice brighter, smoother-looking skin after one session. A series is frequently recommended for a more visible cumulative change, followed by maintenance based on goals and sun exposure. Results develop as the treated skin renews and are not guaranteed.

Yes, but not automatically on the same day. Combining or sequencing services changes inflammation and pigment risk. Art Of Skin will plan the order and spacing; do not schedule a peel, waxing, microneedling, IPL, filler or neurotoxin close to laser treatment without approval.

Protect the skin barrier: gentle cleanser, soothing moisturizer, no picking or scrubbing, and broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day. Avoid excessive heat, heavy exercise and strong actives until cleared. Follow your individualized instructions because aftercare may differ by wavelength and intensity.
