Clear + Brilliant Touch is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser system designed for preventative skin rejuvenation and maintenance of youthful skin quality.
The treatment uses advanced fractional laser technology to create thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing response and promoting collagen production.
Unlike ablative lasers that remove tissue, Clear + Brilliant is non-ablative, meaning it heats the skin without breaking the surface, resulting in minimal downtime and a comfortable treatment experience.
