Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment in Mechanicsburg, PA

Clear + Brilliant, a non-ablative fractional diode laser, works by creating hundreds of thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin, which replaces damaged skin with healthy looking tissue and yields younger-looking skin.

Clear + Brilliant is a laser treatment designed to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in your skin. They are two of the proteins that help keep your skin firm, elastic, and youthful-looking. Starting in your 20s, your body produces less of each.

That slowdown of collagen and elastin production is one of the biggest causes of the visible signs of aging. As collagen and elastin levels decrease, your wrinkles and facial lines become more apparent. By promoting collagen and elastin production, Clear + Brilliant helps your skin heal itself and prevent signs of aging.

Clear + Brilliant offers two handpieces, Original and Perméa, at wavelengths of 1440 nm and 1927 nm, respectively. These wavelengths treat at 2 different distinct depths for multiple clinical benefits.

The original handpiece, 1440 nm, provides targeted penetration for deeper treatment. The laser light penetrates beyond the epidermis and into the dermis. 

Original Handpiece (1440 nm)

• reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• minimizes enlarged pores
• improves skin tone and texture

The perméa handpiece, 1927 nm, is for broader penetration; the wide shallower light delivery targets the epidermis. 

Perméa Handpiece (1927 nm)

• Reduces pigmentation and melasma
• Delivers radiant glow
• increases the permeability of the skin, allowing for better absorption of skincare products

First, you’ll have a topical numbing cream applied to your face for maximum comfort. Once numb, we will remove the numbing cream and degrease the skin with alcohol.

We’ll then gently guide the laser handpiece over your target areas. You may feel a slight warmth or tingling sensation during treatment, but the treatment is very tolerable. The treatment session is usually 45 minutes. 

After your treatment, we apply a special treatment serum to your skin immediately to help refresh, cool, and heal your face.

Clear + Brilliant requires little to no social downtime and minimal aftercare. You may experience very slight redness and swelling for up to 12 hours after treatment. Applying a cooling gel or ice packs will help diminish the heat sensation, and reduce the inflammation and swelling.

You can speed your recovery along by avoiding direct sunlight for two days after your procedure and wearing a sunblock of at least SPF 30 when you go outside. While the skin is healing, we recommend using mild and non-irritating skin care products. 

This lack of downtime has made Clear + Brilliant a red-carpet favorite and is part of the reason why more than 2 million people and counting have used the treatment to alleviate the visible signs of aging.

While some patients may see visible improvement in 1 session, most patients benefit from a series of sessions for optimal results. A series of 3-6 treatments is generally recommended.  The treatments are spaced 1-3 months apart.

Between treatments, the skin gradually renews and improves in tone, texture, and radiance. For individuals targeting more stubborn concerns, such as melasma or early signs of aging, more treatments may be recommended.

To maintain your results long-term, periodic maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months can help preserve the skin’s youthful glow. Your ideal treatment plan will be personalized based on your skin type, goals, and lifestyle.

Clear + Brilliant is an effective yet relatively mild, gentle treatment. It is a safe and effective laser treatment for all skin types. It is also an ideal laser procedure for all ages, as it can eliminate early signs of aging and even prevent them from appearing at all.

If your visible signs of aging are more advanced or severe, another treatment, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or dermal fillers, may be used to augment your Clear + Brilliant results.
