Next-Level Glow

What Is Clear + Brilliant?

Clear + Brilliant is a gentle laser treatment that revitalizes skin from within. It has been termed “Baby Fraxel,” and many dermatological experts consider it an ideal solution for those looking for a subtle improvement in their skin without any downtime or overt changes. The laser works by generating heat, thereby stimulating collagen production and allowing for a replacement of the damaged skin with healthier, more youthful tissue. As our medical esthetician can tell you, regular treatments have been clinically proven to help fight the effects of aging skin and keep your complexion looking as vibrant as ever.

What is the Clear + Brilliant procedure like?

At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, every Clear + Brilliant® treatment is designed to be a comfortable, elevated experience—perfect for refreshing your skin without disrupting your routine. Whether you're treating early signs of aging, improving texture, or restoring radiance, we ensure that each step feels personalized and effortless.

What to Expect on Treatment Day

1. Personalized Skin Consultation

Your visit begins with a private consultation with Deborah Quinn, DNP, who will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns, whether fine lines, pores, dullness, or texture.

2. Skin Preparation & Numbing

To ensure a smooth and comfortable experience, we apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area. You’ll relax for about 20–30 minutes while the numbing takes effect, making the treatment virtually painless.

3. Precision Laser Treatment

Once your skin is fully prepped, Your Certified laser technician will perform the Clear + Brilliant laser treatment, gently gliding the device over it. The laser’s fractional technology creates thousands of tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and cellular renewal while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue. The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.

4. Soothing Aftercare & Post-Treatment Guidance

After the laser session, we apply calming serums or growth factors to soothe and hydrate your skin. You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions, including tips for keeping your skin protected and radiant in the days following treatment.

Clear + Brilliant Recovery

Clear + Brilliant requires little to no downtime, making it perfect for patients seeking a "lunch-hour" treatment. After the procedure, you may experience mild redness or warmth, similar to a sun-kissed glow, that typically fades within 12–24 hours. Most patients can return to daily activities immediately after treatment. We recommend gentle skincare and sun protection to support optimal healing and results.

Clear + Brilliant Results

Patients often describe their skin as "glowing" and "refreshed" within a few days following treatment. Improvements in skin texture, tone, and radiance continue to develop over 1–2 weeks as collagen regenerates. For best results, 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart are recommended, with maintenance treatments every 3–6 months depending on your skin goals.
