What is Clear + Brilliant Touch?
Clear + Brilliant Touch is a non-ablative fractional laser that is used to treat skin concerns without breaking the skin’s surface. When the laser is guided over the skin, the upper layers of skin are removed to reveal more youthful, even skin. Treatment with Clear + Brilliant Touch also encourages the skin to produce more collagen, which can further reduce signs of aging.

Preparing for Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatments
Clear + Brilliant Touch laser treatments is a minimally-invasive treatment which requires little preparation from the patient. The most important thing you can do to prepare for treatment is to attend a personal consultation with one of our experienced providers. Here, you will have the opportunity to discuss your goals, then you and your provider will decide together whether Clear + Brilliant is the best option for you. Once your procedure is scheduled, your provider may ask you to be vigilant in applying sunscreen and avoiding sun exposure and stop using certain skin care products before your treatment.
The Clear + Brilliant Touch Procedure
During the Clear + Brilliant Touch procedure, the laser energy handpiece will be precisely guided over the areas targeted for treatment. Outer layers of damaged skin cells will give way to the healthier layers underneath. One of the many advantages of the Clear + Brilliant Touch technique is that it stimulates the growth of your skin’s natural collagen, helping your skin to continue replenishing itself after treatment.
Clear + Brilliant Touch laser skin rejuvenation procedures usually take 15 minutes or less to complete, depending on the size and number of treatment areas.
Clear + Brilliant Treatment Recovery and Results
After the Clear + Brilliant Touch procedure is performed, no downtime is necessary and many patients are able to resume normal daily activities immediately. Some redness and swelling in the treatment areas may be apparent; however, these effects are temporary and should fade quickly. While the results of Clear + Brilliant Touch laser skin resurfacing can often be noticeable soon after the procedure, the most optimal results are usually obtained after four or five treatment sessions. As collagen production increases, patients will notice fewer fine lines, improved skin tone, reduced pores, and an overall youthful glow.
