•    Little to no side effects in most cases

Clear + Brilliant

The original Clear + Brilliant handpiece works deep into the dermal structure to boost collagen and smooth skin from the inside out. This device is designed to address fine lines and enlarged pores for a more consistent skin texture and tone.

Clear + Brilliant Permea

Clear + Brilliant Permea is a handpiece that works on a more superficial level to aid in the absorption of topical serums into the skin. With greater permeability, topical serums can work more efficiently. Using Clear + Brilliant Permea also addresses pigmentation concerns like sunspots and brown patches. Patients who use this treatment report a significant overall improvement in skin tone and texture, with fewer pigmentation irregularities and a healthy glow.

In most cases, patients benefit from a combination of Clear + Brilliant and Clear + Brilliant Permea to achieve the best possible results. Now, Cosmetic Laser Dermatology is one of the only offices in the country to offer a device that seamlessly combines these treatments in a single procedure session.

Complete Treatment with Clear + Brilliant Touch

Clear + Brilliant Touch features seamless switching between the two handpieces for an efficient, completely customized treatment plan. Treat multiple concerns in a single treatment for superior results in a 30-45 minute treatment session. Cosmetic Laser Dermatology is the only practice in San Diego – and one of the few across the country – to offer this technology to our patients.

One significant benefit of Clear + Brilliant is that it is effective on darker skin tones. With this treatment, there is no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making it one of the safest choices for those with darker skin tones. Often, darker-skinned men and women have difficulty finding laser treatments that work safely and effectively on their skin, but Clear + Brilliant provides a solution! Dark-skinned men and women now have a means of taking advantage of laser technology to smooth and rejuvenate their skin. Try Clear + Brilliant in San Diego and watch your skin transform!

Are You a Good Candidate for Clear + Brilliant Treatments?

Due to its gentle, non-invasive nature, Clear + Brilliant is a good option for people of all skin types looking for a mild procedure that can effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles and maintain their skin’s healthy, youthful appearance. Many people with healthy skin and a skincare routine that works begin to notice the signs of aging much earlier than they would like.

Even with a regular skincare routine, the skin can become susceptible to buildup from products, dirt, and dead surface skin cells over time, making it more difficult for moisturizers and creams to be absorbed by the skin, making it more susceptible to breakouts, dryness, and aging. Clear + Brilliant laser treatments are designed for people who are mostly satisfied with their skin’s general appearance and are looking for an advanced treatment to boost the effectiveness of their current routine and maintain their skin’s health, texture, and youthful glow.

Speak to a board-certified dermatologist at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego for a comprehensive examination and recommendation for the most appropriate treatment to rejuvenate and restore the skin’s vitality. As one of the only offices nationwide to offer the Clear + Brilliant Touch, we are proud to provide our patients with cutting-edge technology so they enjoy the most effective, efficient treatments available today.

As with overall health and disease prevention in the body, one of the most important factors in keeping the face and neck looking healthy and youthful are drinking sufficient amounts of water every day, and eating a balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables and low in refined sugars and highly processed foods. Minimizing alcohol consumption and avoiding tobacco are also critical in order to preserve the skin’s appearance and health.

Protecting the skin from sun exposure and getting enough sleep on a consistent basis is also essential to preventing damage and slowing down the aging process. Even with the best skin care routine, bad habits and overexposure to the sun can lead to irreparable skin damage and premature aging. clearandbrilliant.com explains how this laser is an important factor in looking younger and healthier.
