What is Clear and Brilliant?
This treatment is a gentle, non-invasive laser treatment aimed at preventing early signs of aging and maintaining the skin’s health and vitality. It uses fractional laser technology to target the upper layers of the skin, promoting a rejuvenated appearance.
Clear and Brilliant vs. Fraxel
While both Clear and Brilliant and Fraxel use fractional laser technology, they serve different purposes and are suited for different skin concerns.
Fraxel
- Intensity: More intensive, suitable for significant skin issues.
- Concerns Treated: Deeper wrinkles, more severe signs of aging, sun damage, and scarring.
- Downtime: Usually requires some downtime for recovery.
Clear and Brilliant
- Intensity: Gentler, ideal for maintaining skin health and preventing early signs of aging.
- Concerns Treated: Fine lines, early signs of aging, skin tone unevenness, and overall skin rejuvenation.
- Downtime: Minimal to no downtime, making it a perfect choice for those with a busy lifestyle.

- Ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup on the day of the procedure.
Treatment Duration
- Each session is quick and efficient, typically lasting about 30 minutes.
- The procedure is often referred to as a “lunchtime treatment” due to its short duration, allowing patients to fit it into their busy schedules with ease.

- The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care
- Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides within a few hours.
- Apply a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen.
- Avoid strenuous activities and excessive heat for a couple of days.
Number of Treatments Needed

Complementary Procedures
Maximizing the Benefits
We understand the importance of a comprehensive skincare approach. While Clear and Brilliant is a fantastic standalone treatment, combining it with other procedures can amplify and extend its benefits.
Blue Light Therapy
- Ideal For: Acne-prone and oily skin.
- Benefits: Blue Light Therapy effectively targets acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation and preventing future breakouts. When combined with Clear and Brilliant, which helps to minimize pores and improve skin texture, the result is a clearer, more refined complexion.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
- Ideal For: Sun damage, rosacea, hyperpigmentation.
- Benefits: IPL works by delivering broad-spectrum light to the deeper parts of the skin, addressing issues like sun spots, age spots, and redness. When used in conjunction with Clear and Brilliant, it can further even out skin tone and enhance overall radiance
Chemical Peels
- Ideal For: Improving skin texture and tone.
- Benefits: Chemical Peels involve applying a solution to the skin to remove the top layers, promoting new, healthier skin growth. This process complements Clear and Brilliant by addressing surface-level concerns, leading to smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
Clear and Brilliant Post Botox or Fillers
- Ideal For: Enhancing and maintaining the results of injectables.
- Benefits:
- After Botox: Clear and Brilliant can be an excellent follow-up to Botox treatments. While Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles formed by facial movements), Clear and Brilliant improves overall skin texture and tone, providing a more comprehensive anti-aging solution.
- After Fillers: Similarly, following up dermal fillers with Clear and Brilliant can enhance the skin’s surface texture and quality, complementing the volume and contour improvements achieved with fillers.
Maximizing the Benefits
- Timing: It’s important to appropriately time these treatments. For instance, it’s usually recommended to wait a couple of weeks after fillers or Botox before undergoing Clear and Brilliant treatments. Schedule a consultation and one of our experts can make you a custom treatment plan.
- Personalized Approach: Each individual’s skin is unique, and our experts at Simply Dermatology can create a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your specific skin concerns and goals.
