Clear + Brilliant dual-wavelength fractional non-ablative laser (1440 nm and 1927 nm) for skin tone and texture maintenance, pore size reduction, early fine line prevention, brightening, and mild pigmentation correction. Total session time approximately forty-five minutes including numbing cream. Four to six sessions spaced two to four weeks apart recommended. Minimal downtime — mild sandpaper texture and redness resolve within three to five days.
Park Avenue Dermatology offers Clear + Brilliant, a mild fractional non-ablative laser system from Solta Medical (the same company behind Fraxel) that uses two complementary wavelengths to address early skin ageing, tone irregularities, and texture concerns with a gentler treatment profile suited to patients in their twenties through forties, or as a maintenance option between more intensive laser sessions for patients across all ages. The device's dual-wavelength design targets different skin concerns: the 1440 nm wavelength (Clear + Brilliant Original) penetrates the dermis to treat fine lines, textural irregularities, and enlarged pores by creating fractional micro-zones of thermal coagulation in the mid-dermis that stimulate collagen remodelling without ablating the epidermis; the 1927 nm wavelength (Clear + Brilliant Permea) — closer to the superficial dermis and epidermis — addresses epidermal concerns including superficial pigmentation, dullness, and early tone irregularities. The 1927 nm option has been particularly studied for its ability to improve the penetration of topically applied skincare actives in the hours following treatment, as the micro-treatment zones create temporary channels that enhance topical absorption. The combination approach allows the clinician to tailor the session to the patient's primary concern at each visit. A standard course of four to six sessions spaced two to four weeks apart is recommended for the cumulative skin quality improvement most patients seek; the short inter-session interval is possible precisely because of the gentle, non-ablative nature of the treatment. Post-treatment findings are mild: a sandpaper-like skin texture and redness for three to five days as micro-treated zones resurface. Clear + Brilliant is commonly positioned as a preventive or maintenance laser — used to delay the onset of significant photoaging in younger patients, or to maintain results between more intensive ablative sessions in older patients.
