These factors can lead to loss of skin's youthful radiance, making it appear dull and dry, which can make a person look older. Traditional non-surgical facial rejuvenation options are often limited, and relying solely on topical creams and lotions might prove ineffective. Fortunately, there is an exciting solution for facial rejuvenation: Clear + Brilliant, available at the Boston Center for Plastic Surgery.

What is Clear + Brilliant?

Clear + Brilliant is an innovative skin treatment that offers maximum rejuvenation benefits. This non-ablative laser treatment is powerful enough to restore and refresh aging skin and gentle enough for delicate areas like the face, neck, chest, and hands. It's an excellent choice for patients looking to rejuvenate dull, tired skin, improve skin tone and texture, reduce pore size, and minimize areas of mild discoloration.

About Clear + Brilliant

Clear + Brilliant is an FDA-approved non-ablative laser treatment designed to reduce the early signs of aging. This treatment creates millions of tiny injuries in the skin, encouraging the growth of younger-looking, healthy cells. It's safe for all skin types and ethnicities and suitable for both men and women. Unlike traditional non-ablative fractional laser treatments, Clear + Brilliant targets only the top dermal layers, resulting in faster healing and no downtime. Furthermore, the results from Clear + Brilliant are long-lasting, as the skin's collagen production continues to increase naturally after treatment.

The Clear + Brilliant procedure

Before undergoing a Clear + Brilliant treatment at Boston Center for Plastic Surgery, you'll have a one-on-one consultation with one of our cosmetic dermatologists.

Your provider will evaluate your facial tissues during this consultation and explain various skin rejuvenation options. If Clear + Brilliant is the best choice for your aesthetic goals, a personalized treatment plan will be created.

During the treatment, the Clear + Brilliant applicator is passed over the predetermined area, emitting quick, concentrated pulses of laser energy. This creates a series of very small columns of heat throughout the skin, stimulating new cell growth and increasing the body's natural production of collagen. While the treatment is generally not painful, a topical anesthetic or numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Most patients describe the treatment as mild, feeling only a warm, prickling heat. After the session, a cooling agent is applied to the treated tissue to enhance comfort.

What is the recovery?

There is no downtime required after a Clear + Brilliant session. Most patients can return to their regular activities the same afternoon. Initially, the treated skin may be dry and slightly red, but this typically resolves within 24 hours. Some mild swelling may also occur but will fade quickly.

When will I see results from Clear + Brilliant?

While some patients may see immediate improvement in the treated skin, optimal results usually require between four and six sessions spaced about four weeks apart. After this period, your skin will feel softer and look more refreshed. Over time, as healthy cells rise to the surface and collagen production increases, your skin's texture will gradually improve, and pores will shrink. Clear + Brilliant can provide excellent results on its own, but your provider may recommend additional techniques to complement your skin rejuvenation, such as Botox Cosmetic or a soft tissue filler.

What is the cost of Clear + Brilliant?

If you're interested in Clear + Brilliant and would like more information or have any questions, please contact the Boston Center for Plastic Surgery or fill out our online form to schedule a consultation with one of our cosmetic dermatologists. Clear + Brilliant is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by health insurance. During your consultation, the exact cost of treatment will be determined based on the number of sessions needed. Your patient coordinator will explain your payment options, including cash, major credit cards, and medical financing through Prosper Healthcare Lending.
