Clear and Brilliant
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM CLEAR AND BRILLIANT?
Many people turn to procedures like facelift surgery to revive their appearance and feel better about their skin. Clear + Brilliant is an excellent option for anyone who wants to achieve a youthful glow without plastic surgery or downtime. This treatment is especially ideal for treating a wide range of issues at once. So if you have problems with skin tone and texture, as well as sun damage that makes you feel self-conscious, Clear + Brilliant can help.
WHO ARE GOOD CANDIDATES?
For the patient who would like smoother, firmer skin with smaller pores, the original Clear + Brilliant is a great treatment option. Clear + Brilliant is also great for anyone who would like an anti-aging treatment that prevents wrinkles and textural changes. For patients who would like to treat pigment in the skin, Clear + Brilliant Permea is an even better option. Patients may also combine both treatments to effectively target both depths that the two handpieces reach.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
A topical numbing cream will be applied by one of our skin care providers 30-45 minutes prior to your treatment to ensure comfort. After this numbing period, the trained provider will perform your treatment, gently guiding the Clear + Brilliant handpiece across the treatment area. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment and describe the treatment as feeling a bit hot or “prickly.” Cold air may be used in conjunction with the treatment in order to make the treatment even more comfortable. The treatment time varies depending on the size number of areas treated but typically lasts about half an hour. A topical antioxidant serum will be applied to the skin immediately after treatment. A refreshing biocellulose masque may also be applied for 10-15 minutes after treatment.
Patients may feel hot and have a “sunburned” look typically for 1 hour, and up to 24 hours, after their treatment. Swelling is not common but can occur. It is safe to apply makeup immediately following the treatment to camouflage this appearance. The treatment area will also feel rough or “sandpaper-like” for 5 to 7 days and will exfoliate slowly. Typically, patients report seeing visible improvements following a series of 4 to 6 treatments, although patient experiences vary. Clear + Brilliant treatments may also be used to maintain the results of Fraxel Repair. Our staff will discuss a personalized regime for your to help achieve your goals.
IS IT PAINFUL?
Some clients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, describing the sensation as “hot and prickly”; however, at Top Aesthetics Laser, we will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area before we begin to keep you comfortable during the entire procedure. Our experienced provider will gently glide the handpiece over the treatment area, ensuring maximum comfort and optimal results. We may also incorporate cold air into the procedure to enhance comfort levels.

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT LAST?
Your treatment session time will vary depending on how many areas you wanted to be addressed, but typically, a session will last about 30 – 45 minutes.
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY AFTER?
Patients may experience a “sunburned” look for 1 – 24 hours after their treatment and minor swelling. The treated area will feel rough for up to a week as the skin exfoliates, but you can go back to your normal routine immediately.
WHEN DO YOU SEE RESULTS?
Most patients will typically see noticeable results after 4 – 6 treatments, although results may vary according to a patient’s skin health.
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
Depending on age, skin condition, skin health, and how well you protect your skin, many can expect their results to last for months. We may recommend a maintenance session every 2 – 3 months according to your skin’s needs.
