Clear + Brilliant® is an advanced laser skin rejuvenation option that reduces fine lines, minimizes pore size, and improving tone and texture. This laser facial is ideal for preventing early signs of facial aging and promoting younger looking skin. At Key Laser, we often combine Clear + Brilliant with other cosmetic procedures like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for our patients to further enhance skin tone with minimal downtime.

Areas of Concern

Clear + Brilliant can benefit a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Pore size and skin texture
  • Dull skin tone
  • Early signs of aging
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Acne scars

What is Clear + Brilliant?

Clear + Brilliant is a non-invasive, non-ablative laser that uses fractional laser technology to enhance your skin’s texture and tone. By creating millions of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin, Clear + Brilliant stimulates collagen production and removes dead skin cells. The result is a refreshed, radiant complexion with noticeably improved skin texture and tone.

Ideal Candidates for Clear + Brilliant

As you age, your skin loses laxity and slows its cellular turnover, which can cause signs of aging such as hyperpigmentation. The Clear + Brilliant laser offers a multitude of benefits that help it to stand out from other laser treatments and cosmetic procedures, making it a popular choice for those seeking to rejuvenate their skin. These benefits include:

  • Uneven Skin Tone: Achieve a more even tone.
  • Rough Skin Texture: Smooth out your skin’s surface.
  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Reduce the appearance of aging skin.
  • Sun Damage: Repair and rejuvenate sun-damaged skin.
  • Large Pores: Minimize the appearance of pores.
  • Skin Sensitivity: Suitable for sensitive skin types.
  • Collagen Stimulation: Helps skin naturally maintain healthy results.

Clear + Brilliant is effective for all skin types and tones, including darker skin tones. However, individuals with certain skin conditions, such as melasma or rosacea, should consult with a professional to determine if this treatment is right for them. Note: it cannot be used to treat active acne breakouts but can help minimize acne scars.

What to Expect from Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment

Recommended Maintenance Treatments

Based on your specific needs and goals, a package of three to six treatments spaced one to six weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. After your initial series of sessions, annual maintenance treatments may be needed to keep up with your more youthful appearance. Visible improvements can be seen within one to two weeks, with noticeable improvements in the coming weeks.

Treatment Duration

Each session takes about an hour, depending on the severity of the concern and the amount of skin needing to be treated. Your particular experience may vary. There is minimal downtime with this laser.

Comfort

A topical numbing agent is applied to the face, neck, or chest to ensure a comfortable experience. You may also find benefit from taking over-the-counter pain medication prior to your appointment, depending on your typical tolerance. The laser itself is considered a very gentle option to help skin feel softer and promote a radiant glow.

Before a Clear + Brilliant Treatment

Dr. Key will meet with you during a consultation to ensure Clear + Brilliant is the ideal treatment for your skin goals. During this session, you will receive a customized plan that includes recommendations on how to prepare for your treatment. Patients may be asked to undergo preventative care prior to their appointment to ensure they are ready for treatment, such as wearing a wide brimmed hat to avoid sun exposure or adjusting their skincare routine if necessary in the case they are using photosensitizing agents (i.e. for acne maintenance).

During Your Clear + Brilliant Treatment

Your provider will begin by applying numbing cream to the treatment area for comfort. The entire session takes about an hour, delivering effective yet gentle resurfacing. Most patients find the treatment to be gentle and very tolerable, generally described as having a warm or tingling sensation, not unlike a mild sunburn.

After Clear + Brilliant

You can expect some minor inflammation or redness immediately following the procedure, which usually fades overnight. Makeup can be applied the next day, and your skin will continue to improve over the following weeks.

Patients tend to see their best results one to three days following their appointment, with continued improvements one to two months after completing your series. Collagen production will continue over the next few days, and will continue for the coming months.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Following your Clear + Brilliant treatment, it’s crucial to adhere to a proper skincare regimen to maintain and enhance your results. This includes:

  • Using a Gentle Cleanser and Moisturizer: Keep your skin hydrated and clean.
  • Applying a Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen with at Least SPF 30: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
  • Avoiding Excessive Sun Exposure: Minimize the risk of sun damage.
  • Exfoliating Regularly: Remove dead skin cells to keep your complexion fresh.
  • Using a Topical Numbing Cream: Minimize any discomfort during subsequent treatments.

Regular maintenance appointments are recommended to keep your skin looking healthy and glowing over the long term. Make sure to not use retinoid products until at least a week following your appointment, as your skin will be sensitive. If you need help determining the best skincare products, be sure to speak with your provider about your questions.

Combining Clear + Brilliant with other treatments can also provide more comprehensive and long-lasting results. Always consult with a qualified professional to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique skin concerns and needs.

FAQs for Portland Laser Rejuvenation

How will Clear and Brilliant improve my skin?

The outer layers of skin are like barriers to protect the underlying tissue from harm. When the top layers become damaged, the cells are not replaced quickly as needed. Our laser skin resurfacing in Portland, Clear + Brilliant helps boost your skin’s health by accelerating skin cell regeneration.

How will my skin look and feel after Clear + Brilliant laser skin resurfacing?

After your Portland laser rejuvenation treatment, your skin will have a more even tone and texture and feel smoother. The production of collagen will help make your skin more firm. Our Facial Laser Resurfacing in Portland will enhance your skin’s radiance from the inside out.

Is the Clear + Brilliance laser resurfacing safe?

Our Portland laser rejuvenation treatment, Clear + Brilliance utilizes a gentle laser moving across the skin’s problem areas to stimulate collagen and skin cell regeneration. It is a safe procedure with little to no risk of serious injury or complications.

How long does it take to heal from Clear + Brilliant?

Immediately after your treatment, your skin will feel warm and may look like you’re blushing. However, this effect typically goes away overnight. Some redness may remain for up to a week of receiving the treatment. But once the inner layers of your skin heal, you’ll start seeing a glowing and refreshed appearance on the surface.

How long does it take to see results from Clear + Brilliant?

Everyone responds slightly differently to laser therapy. However, you can expect to start noticing the results from your first Clear + Brilliant treatment after one to two weeks, with ongoing improvements for the next one to two months. For maximum benefits, we may recommend a series of three Clear + Brilliant sessions spaced out over several weeks.

What kind of laser does Clear + Brilliant use?

As a fractional laser, Clear + Brilliant targets tiny columns of the skin in the specific treatment area, which helps reduce recovery time after the procedure. Your complexion will look naturally rejuvenated, with a healthier glow. Clear + Brilliant allows you to customize your laser experience specifically for your areas of concern. For instance, if you only want to minimize signs of sun damage around your forehead, you can get treatment for that area alone.

Which is better – Clear + Brilliant or IPL?

Clear + Brilliant and intense pulsed light are two examples of non-ablative lasers. That means they do not remove a layer of your skin, allowing for less swelling, redness, and recovery time. They also work well for the same areas of concern, including your face, neck, chest, and hands.rnrnSince both laser options can deliver excellent results and simultaneously resolve multiple issues, the best way to determine which is better for you is to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Key.

Does Clear + Brilliant tighten skin?

Clear + Brilliant encourages your skin to start producing collagen, which leads to firmer and more youthful skin. This treatment reduces wrinkles and fine lines for a smoother and younger-looking complexion.

What should I avoid after Clear + Brilliant?

After you’ve completed your Clear + Brilliant treatment regimen, you should not apply makeup for at least one to three days after each appointment. Since lasers make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, avoid prolonged sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum SPF when you must go outdoors. Do not smoke. Cigarettes contain hundreds of toxic chemicals that age you more rapidly and can also impede healing after skin care procedures.

Is Clear + Brilliant treatment painful?

No, Clear + Brilliant treatment is typically not painful at all. To ensure your ultimate comfort, we will apply a topical numbing cream. At most, you might feel a slight warming sensation.

Are there any side effects with Clear + Brilliant?

As with any treatment, Clear + Brilliant does come with some side effects, but they are usually relatively mild. The side effects you may see include redness, swelling, skin sensitivity, flakiness, dryness, and itching.

Will I need repeated Clear + Brilliant laser treatments to maintain my results?

To start, you may need 3-5 treatment sessions to achieve optimal results. After that, you will likely require periodic maintenance treatment to keep the refreshed look to your skin.

Will I see immediate results after my Clear + Brilliant laser treatment?

While you may see some subtle results immediately after treatment, it will take a week or two before the most significant improvements are apparent. At that stage, your skin will have had time to heal, and collagen will have the chance to build up in your skin.

What should I do before my Clear + Brilliant laser resurfacing treatment?

Before your Clear + Brilliant laser treatment, you’ll want to avoid excess sun exposure and stop using certain harsh skincare products like exfoliants. We also recommend using sunscreen in the days and weeks leading up to your appointment
