Clear + Brilliant® Laser in NYC
Restore your skin’s youthful glow with Clear + Brilliant®, a gentle yet powerful laser treatment available at Park Ave. Derm. Designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity, this fractional laser helps reduce early signs of aging and sun damage with minimal downtime.
At Park Ave. Derm, our expert dermatologists use Clear + Brilliant® to help patients achieve smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin, all with a quick, well-tolerated treatment that fits easily into your schedule.
What Is Clear + Brilliant®?
Clear + Brilliant® is a fractional laser with two wavelengths, 1440nm and 1927nm, that create thousands of microscopic treatment zones across the skin’s surface. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response and encourages new collagen production. Over time, the skin looks fresher, more even, and more radiant.
It’s often described as the perfect “in-between” laser; it’s stronger than a facial, but gentler than more aggressive resurfacing treatments like ResurFX® or eCO2 Plus fractionated lasers. You might also hear it called a “baby” Fraxel or even a “lunch-time” laser.
Clear + Brilliant® Benefits
Patients choose Clear + Brilliant® because it offers visible improvement with minimal recovery time. The treatment is safe for most skin types and can be customized to address a range of early aging and sun-related concerns.
Key benefits of Clear + Brilliant® include:
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduction in fine lines and dullness
- Minimized appearance of pores
- Brighter, more even complexion
- Minimal downtime and discomfort
- Suitable for face, neck, and chest
How Clear + Brilliant® Works
During treatment, the laser handpiece glides/roles over the skin while delivering controlled pulses of fractional energy. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen renewal and promote new, healthy skin cells.
Each session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or afternoon appointment. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle warmth or prickling feeling.
A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand for comfort, and cooling is provided immediately afterward to soothe the skin.
