FAQs

What is Clear + Brilliant and how does it work?

Clear + Brilliant is a gentle fractional laser treatment that creates millions of microscopic treatment zones in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing and collagen production. It resurfaces the outer layer of skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster recovery. At Dr Refresh Med Spa in West Hollywood, we use Clear + Brilliant to refresh skin tone, minimize pores, and address early signs of aging.

Clear + Brilliant is effective for improving overall skin tone and texture, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores, smoothing fine lines, and diminishing early sun damage. It also helps with dullness, uneven pigmentation, and rough skin texture. Many patients describe it as a treatment that gives their skin a natural, radiant glow.

Clear + Brilliant is ideal for adults who want to maintain youthful-looking skin or address the earliest signs of aging before they become more pronounced. It is well-suited for patients in their 20s through 50s who want preventative care or a gentle refresher. During your consultation at Dr Refresh Med Spa, our team will determine if Clear + Brilliant is the right fit for your skin type and goals.

Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of four to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. After completing the initial series, many of our West Hollywood clients return for maintenance sessions every one to three months. Your provider will recommend a personalized schedule based on your specific skin concerns.

Most patients experience only mild discomfort, often described as a warm prickling or light sandpaper sensation on the skin. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize any discomfort. Clear + Brilliant is widely considered one of the most comfortable laser treatments available, which is why it is popular with first-time laser patients at our West Hollywood clinic.

Downtime is minimal compared to more aggressive laser treatments. You may experience mild redness and a rough, sandpaper-like texture for one to three days following the session. Most patients are comfortable returning to work and social activities the same day or the next day with light makeup if desired.

Many patients notice a subtle glow and smoother skin texture within the first week after treatment. Results improve progressively with each session in the series as new collagen forms and skin cell turnover accelerates. The most significant improvements are typically visible after completing three to four sessions.

Individual session results can last several weeks to a couple of months. With a complete series and regular maintenance treatments, patients can enjoy sustained improvements in skin quality for years. Consistent sunscreen use and a good skincare routine help maximize and prolong your results.

Common side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, and a rough or dry texture to the skin that resolves within a few days. Some patients experience minor peeling similar to a mild sunburn. Serious side effects are uncommon when the treatment is administered by trained professionals like those at Dr Refresh Med Spa.

Clear + Brilliant uses lower energy levels than treatments like Fraxel or CO2 lasers, resulting in much less downtime and discomfort. While aggressive lasers provide more dramatic results in fewer sessions, Clear + Brilliant offers a gentler approach that is ideal for maintenance and prevention. It is an excellent entry point for patients who are new to laser treatments or prefer a gradual improvement approach.

We recommend waiting at least 12 to 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the micro-channels in your skin to close. After that initial period, mineral-based makeup is generally safe to use. Your provider at Dr Refresh Med Spa in West Hollywood will give you specific post-treatment skincare and makeup guidelines.

Clear + Brilliant is safe for a wide range of skin types, though results and settings may be adjusted based on your skin tone. Patients with very dark skin tones should discuss options with our team to ensure the safest approach. A thorough skin evaluation during your consultation helps us determine the best settings for your complexion.

Discontinue retinoids, glycolic acid, and other active skincare products for three to five days before your appointment. Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks prior to treatment. Arrive with clean, product-free skin or our team will cleanse your face before beginning.

Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen daily following your treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours. Do not use retinoids or exfoliating acids until the skin has fully healed, typically within three to five days.
