FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CLEAR + BRILLIANT®

Is Clear + Brilliant® safe?

Yes—when performed by trained experts using appropriate parameters for your skin type. The device is FDA-cleared for non-ablative fractional resurfacing.

How long does it take to see results?

Skin often feels smoother within a week, with brighter tone and texture improvements building across a series.

Does the treatment hurt?

Discomfort is low. Patients usually notice warmth or prickling.

Temporary redness, mild swelling, and a sandpapery feel are common and resolve within a few days. Pigment shifts are possible—particularly with 1927 nm—so sun protection is essential.
