PERSONALISED CARE

REFINED SKIN RENEWAL WITH
THE CLEAR + BRILLIANT LASER

WHAT IS CLEAR + BRILLIANT?

Clear + Brilliant is a fractional, non-ablative laser designed for low-intensity surface-level skin renewal. It creates thousands of microscopic treatment points across the outer layer of the skin, prompting your body’s natural repair process. As new skin cells form and replace the older ones, surface texture and tone start to appear more consistent over time. Because the treatment focuses on the epidermis, it’s ideal for regular maintenance or early-stage texture and pigmentation changes.

A Clear + Brilliant™ laser treatment is being performed on the forehead, with protective eyewear in place during the procedure.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Clear + Brilliant Permea laser uses a 1927-nanometre (nm) wavelength to target water in the skin. As the laser moves across the surface, it produces controlled micro-columns of energy while preserving surrounding tissue. These untreated areas help your skin recover while maintaining the protective barrier. Your clinician will adjust the intensity and number of passes to match your skin type and treatment goals.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Clear + Brilliant is suitable for most skin tones within the Fitzpatrick I–V range, including olive and darker complexions. Its low-energy, fractional design reduces the likelihood of pigment disruption, making it an option for a wider range of skin tones than other lasers.

It may not be suitable during pregnancy or if there is any active skin irritation. Your clinician will assess your skin before treatment to ensure Clear + Brilliant is the right choice for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR CLEAR + BRILLIANT TREATMENT

Your treatment starts with a consultation to confirm that Clear + Brilliant suits your skin type and goals. Your clinician will outline the number of sessions, treatment density, and whether other in-clinic therapies may complement your skincare plan.

During your treatment session

Timelines are a general guide and may vary based on your skin response and treatment plan.

  • Each session is 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the area.
  • Often completed as a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced over 2 to 4 weeks.
  • You may feel warmth or light tingling as the laser moves across the skin.
  • Mild redness or tightness can follow and usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours.
  • A cooling mask or serum is applied immediately after your treatment.

Preparing for your treatment

Preparation guidance may differ based on your skin and medical history.

  • Pause active skincare (retinoids, AHAs/BHAs) for 3 to 5 days beforehand.
  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure before treatment.
  • Avoid waxing, tanning, or heat-based treatments before your appointment.
  • Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, sunscreen, and self-tanning products.
  • Inform your clinician about any recent cosmetic procedures or medication changes.

After your treatment

Recovery times are different for everyone. If you need personalised aftercare advice, please contact the clinic.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure for around 3 to 5 days and apply SPF 50+ daily.
  • Hydrate the skin with gentle, non-active moisturisers.
  • Avoid direct heat, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
  • Mild flaking or dryness may occur as the skin renews. Avoid exfoliation or picking.
  • Makeup can usually be applied the next day once redness has settled.

YOUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here, our dermal clinicians have answered some of your most commonly asked questions about the Clear + Brilliant laser. For tailored guidance, you’re always welcome to contact the clinic

Most clients complete a course of four to six treatments, spaced out over two to four weeks, allowing the skin to recover between sessions. The number of treatments will depend on your individual skin condition and goals. Many clients then choose to schedule periodic maintenance sessions, especially if using Clear + Brilliant as part of a long-term skincare plan.

Clear + Brilliant encourages cell turnover and renewal in the upper layers of the skin. You may notice gradual refinement in texture and tone over the weeks following your session, though individual timelines and outcomes will always vary. These changes can be maintained with consistent skincare, daily SPF use, and periodic follow-up treatments as recommended by your clinician.

Clear + Brilliant treatment costs depend on several factors, including the size of the area treated, the number of sessions recommended, and any complementary procedures performed in the same visit.

Your clinician will discuss all costs during your consultation and provide a transparent quote before beginning your treatment plan. This ensures your plan aligns with your skin goals and overall care schedule.

Clear + Brilliant and Fraxel are both fractional treatments that create controlled micro-channels in the skin to support renewal. They differ in depth and intensity, meaning they’re often chosen for different skin priorities.

Clear + Brilliant focuses on the upper layers of the skin and is commonly used to support overall tone and texture. Fraxel can reach deeper skin structures and is typically selected for more established pigmentation or textural changes, such as scarring.

Your clinician will recommend the most appropriate approach, or combination, based on your skin and treatment goals.

Clear + Brilliant is a fractional laser treatment, and like all cosmetic procedures, it can involve temporary side effects. It’s common to experience mild redness, swelling, warmth, or tightness for several hours after treatment. The skin may also feel slightly textured or dry for a few days as the outer layer renews, and light flaking can occur.

If you experience any unusual discomfort, prolonged redness, or sensitivity, contact your clinician for assessment and follow-up care.

SUPPORTING YOUR SKIN GOALS

Clear + Brilliant can be tailored to address a range of aesthetic skin goals, from refining texture to maintaining tone. It’s often chosen as part of a regular treatment plan to support healthier, more balanced skin.

CLEAR + BRILLIANT BEFORE AND AFTER

Treatment results are a reflection of the journey. Each represents an individual’s unique skin and treatment plan. Outcomes will naturally vary, as every client responds differently.

REAL CLEAR + BRILLIANT LASER RESULTS

The Clear + Brilliant results shown reflect how skin tone and surface clarity can change over time. As the skin responds to superficial laser treatment, it appears brighter and more uniform, with surface pigmentation such as freckles and sun-related spots appearing less prominent. These changes typically develop progressively across multiple sessions.
