Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients see best results from an initial series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6 to 12 months. Your dermatologist will recommend a plan based on your concerns.

Is Clear + Brilliant safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. Clear + Brilliant is safe and effective for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick V and VI. Treatment settings are tailored to your skin to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

How is Clear + Brilliant different from Moxi?

Both are non-ablative fractional lasers with similar mechanisms. Moxi (by Sciton) offers more level customization and is often chosen for stronger correction. Clear + Brilliant (by Solta) is exceptionally gentle and ideal for ongoing maintenance and prejuvenation. Your dermatologist will recommend which fits your goals best.

Is it painful?

Topical numbing is applied before treatment. Most patients describe a warm, prickling sensation that subsides quickly when the handpiece moves on. Cool air is used during treatment for added comfort.

How is downtime?

Mild redness, warmth, and a flushed appearance typically last up to 24 hours. Most patients return to work and social activities the same day or next morning. Makeup can usually be applied the day after treatment.

When will I see results?

You’ll notice an immediate glow within a few days as the skin sheds pigmented cells. Progressive improvement continues over weeks and compounds with each treatment in your series.

Can I do Clear + Brilliant year-round?

Yes. Because it is gentle and non-ablative, Clear + Brilliant can be performed year-round including during summer, provided you commit to consistent broad-spectrum sunscreen use before and after treatment.
