Clear & Brilliant

Laser Treatment for clear and radiant skin

Clear + Brilliant is a treatment that resurface your skin by using fractional technology. In fractional technology, the laser is split into thousands of micro beams and radiated on the skin surface.

Conventional fractional laser treatment associates 4 days of downtime while the redness remains. However, this leading-edge equipment, Clear + Brilliant, reduces the downtime to just 1 day.The treatment promotes the skin’s power to regenerate. Your skin will gain smoothness after each treatment.

While the existing laser treatments resurface only the shallow layers of your skin and are known to react to colors and remove birth marks and spots, Clear + Brilliant uses a special type of laser that reaches deep into the dermis. Because this laser reacts to moisture, it reaches the middle layer of the epidermal and the top layer of dermis without damaging the layer that contains moisture. New skin rejuvenates from within, emerging from deeper layers. This laser system creates microscopic lesions on the skin surface and activates the cell tissues of the damaged skin. This restoration process increases the generation of collagen. This innovative laser treatment enables mildly controlled skin appearance.

The treatment uses a non-invasive fractional laser technology which was developed by Solta Medical, an American leading company of the aesthetic medical market. Clear + Brilliant has received FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval which is required for medical devices and CE mark which proves that the product clears the standard of products sold in EU, and is classified as highly safe.
