Clear and Brilliant Benefits

How Does Clear and Brilliant Work? 

Clear and Brilliant is a gentle, non-invasive fractional laser designed to proactively address the early signs of aging. Unlike more aggressive lasers with greater downtime, Clear + Brilliant refreshes your skin from the inside out. 

This FDA-cleared laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and building elastin.

Here’s How Clear + Brilliant Works:

• Delivers laser energy deep into the skin – Stimulating new collagen and elastin, promoting cell turnover, and replacing damaged skin cells with new, healthy skin cells. 
• Improves tone and texture – Helps fade pigmentation, shrink pores, and smooth rough or uneven skin.
• Enhances overall radiance – Creates a refreshed, glowing complexion that improves over time, especially with consistent treatments.

• Minimal downtime – Most patients experience only mild redness, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.

Clear and Brilliant Laser Benefits 

Clear + Brilliant gently transforms your skin from within. By encouraging healthy cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, it targets the early signs of aging and skin damage, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion with every session.

• Enhanced clarity – Improves the appearance of acne scars and pigmentation spots.

• Radiance boost – Removes dull, damaged skin cells to restore your skin’s natural glow.

Clear and Brilliant Laser Treatment 

Before the Treatment 

Before your treatment, you’ll receive a complimentary consultation with a BodyLase team member to discuss any questions you have about Clear and Brilliant. We’ll also review your medical history, current medications, primary skin concerns, and aesthetic goals to ensure your treatment package is personalized to your needs. 

During the Treatment 

During the session, your BodyLase provider will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream. Your provider will then pass the Clear and Brilliant handpiece over the treatment area in the required number of passes for optimal results.

A typical Clear and Brilliant laser treatment takes about 30 minutes, but may vary depending on the size of the treatment area and your specific skin needs. 

Clear and Brilliant Laser Results 

Most clients begin to see visible improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance within just a few days of treatment. 

While clients typically see results after just one session, four to six treatment sessions are usually recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.  

Clear and Brilliant Before and After

Clear and Brilliant laser results often include a brighter, more even skin tone, reduced pigmentation, and the appearance of smaller pores. After treatment, your skin will feel smoother and look more radiant. 

Clear and Brilliant Laser Aftercare 

After The Treatment

• Treatment day: Immediately after your treatment, your skin may feel warm – similar to a mild sunburn – and appear red. This typically subsides within two to three hours.
• Days 1-3: You may experience mild flaking, dryness, or irritation as your skin begins to heal. It is common for your skin to be sensitive during this stage. 
• Weeks 1-2: You may notice a bronzed appearance and small brown dots on the skin as pigmentation rises to the surface. 
• Weeks 2 and beyond: You will notice visible results, including improvements in tone and texture, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and a brighter, more even complexion. 

Post-Treatment Care 

Your provider will share specific aftercare instructions, but in general we recommend the following guidelines to protect your skin and maximize your Clear and Brilliant laser results:  

You may apply mineral makeup immediately after treatment to help minimize redness 

• Avoid picking or scratching your skin; allow any peeling or flaking to occur naturally 
• Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on a daily basis 
• Protect the treated area from over-exposure to sun until your skin is fully healed 
• Avoid any irritating skincare products, such as exfoliants or retinoids, until your skin has fully recovered; use only gentle, non-comedogenic skincare products
