This laser treatment works by creating millions of microscopic treatment areas in your skin, allowing your damaged skin cells to be replaced with new healthy, younger-looking tissue; your skin is refined and refreshed from the inside out. Our patients report that their skin looks and feels younger with a renewed ‘glow’ and smoothness following Clear + Brilliant.
Depending on your concern, treatment can be a single session, however results are accumulative and after each consecutive treatment your results can become more significant and noticeable. Results are progressive; you are unlikely to notice immediate results from the treatment however in the days following your treatment, your skin can start to look brighter, more refined, feel softer and show a more even tone and texture.
Indications that Clear + Brilliant may be right for you:
- You would like to improve the appearance of your pores; in 2012 Clear + Brilliant was announced as the ‘gold standard’ treatment for pore refining at the annual American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery conference.
- You have an uneven tone and texture that you would like to address.
- You like the way your skin currently looks and want to help maintain your fresh, youthful look for years to come.
- You have a consistent approach to your skincare and are looking to boost your results.
- You already have or plan to start a skin care regimen to help protect against natural and environmental effects of ageing skin.
- You don’t have the desire, time or need for more invasive procedures like cosmetic surgery or aggressive resurfacing treatments.
Will I need to take time off work after having this the Clear and Brilliant treatment?
In our experience, no. We do advise that when you have this treatment for the first time, plan it for when you don’t have any social or work commitments the next day so that you can better understand how your skin recovers without any pressure or anxiety about your recovery.
How frequently can I have repeat Clear and Brilliant treatments?
Usually, the minimum time we recommend between treatment sessions is a month. Your practitioner will assess your skin and your needs and make an individual recommendation for you.
Are there any side effects to the Clear and Brilliant treatment?
Clear + Brilliant has a great safety profile and at The Skin to Love Clinic we are able to draw upon a huge wealth of expertise and experience as one of our practitioners is the trainer to other medical practitioners using this laser in the UK and Europe.
Consultations are an important part of the treatment process in allowing you to understand the treatment and to establish if the benefits of the treatment are outweighed by any possible side effects. During a consultation your concerns will be assessed. Your medical practitioner will be able to discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for you, as well as any suitable alternative treatments.
Your practitioner will discuss any possible side effects, questions you may have and any aftercare you should adhere to prior to you having treatment.
I’m looking for dramatic correction for my signs of ageing, is this Clear and Brilliant right for me?
We will be able to give you specific advice during your consultation, however, if you have very sun damaged, loose skin and/or have other advanced signs of ageing such as deep wrinkles there may be alternative treatments for you such as Fraxel, Thermage CPT, Wrinkle Relaxing Injections, Dermal Fillers and the Thread Lift treatment.
You may need more than one treatment of Clear + Brilliant to achieve your results. You and your practitioner will create a treatment plan which may include using this treatment alongside other treatments.
Am I too young for the Clear and Brilliant treatment?
This treatment is easily incorporated into your current skincare regime and lifestyle so patients often use this gentle laser treatment to boost at-home skincare efforts, to maintain their skin and to help prevent signs of ageing.
If your skin doesn’t need much correction, you have or are planning to take the basic steps to keep your skin looking its best, and you like the way you look now, Clear + Brilliant can help maintain your skin’s youthful appearance and prevent the early signs of aging.
There is no reason why those in their 20’s and 30’s shouldn’t consider this treatment as a preventative treatment and to maintain and improve healthy skin.

Treatment Summary
No. of treatments
Depends on your concern. You can have single sessions, but a course may be beneficial. This will be assed and discussed with you prior to treatment
Procedure time
30 to 40 minutes if treating the face. We usually recommend using an anaesthetic cream on the skin for 30 to 60 minutes prior to treatment, which would be applied in-clinic by one of our practitioners to ensure your comfort
Final results
Dependent on your concerns. You can expect to start seeing changes approximately 4 days post treatment
Recovery time
Some patients will look flushed immediately after treatment which usually subsides after 12 to 24 hours. For a few days after the treatment your skin may feel a little rough, often described as ‘sandpapery’; this is usually only noticed by the patient and not by others and will gradually subside
Resume usual activities
Most patients find that they can continue their usual activities with the use of a tinted moisturiser the following day. Full aftercare will be provided prior to treatment
Discomfort level
Non to mild with the use of local anaesthetic cream. Patients liken the sensation to warm scratches
Duration of results
Months to years dependent on concern treated and number of treatment sessions
Consultation needed prior
Yes

What people have said...
Exceptionally positive experience:* A consultation is required to determine whether the requested treatment is suitable for me. This reassured me of their expertise and integrity (that they wouldn't just push any treatment on me)* Specialist Jane is clearly an expert on the Clear&Brilliant treatment and provided me with a comprehensive insight in the procedure + follow-up care and answered all my questions* Tomorrow I'll receive a check-in call, which shows their level of attentiveness* Reception staff is very friendly, welcoming and helpful* So far my Clear and Brilliant treatment looks good, will see results in 2-4 weeks

Would recommend, had a consultation by the nurse , very informative and all staff are extremely knowledgeable of their treatments. Not pushy in selling products or services , the look and feel of the store is very warm and welcoming. I am looking forward to getting treatments there.Update in 4/10/2021 - after going to mobile therapists and now here, I must say there is a big difference ! much much more professional and great customer service - I have had anti wrinkle injections and was reassured this will work and it has! ( I had deep frown lines) worth the bit of extra money for sure!

I went to the clinic last week. I met Jane who explained the types of treatment to me. It was very clear and I opted for the reduction of fat from the abdomen and love handles.Today i had my first session and it was absolutely fantastic.Initially you can feel like a painful but bearable pinch on the abdomen. After five minutes everything becomes very quiet and you can do another activity like checking your email and maybe chat on the phone with a friend.Jane and Nathalie were great , kind , and very professional .I can t wait to do the second treatment to see the results . I highly recommend this Clinic 100%.Rita

From the consultation to the end of the treatment, Natalia was kind, patient, understanding and extremely professional. She listened to my issues and then recommended the right treatment but put no pressure on me. Infact she encouraged me to have a think and do some research before i committed to anything. On the treatment table she explained everything she was doing and I could tell I was in very good hands. The procedure was uncomfortable and it could have been very easy to start panicking but she put me totally at ease and her confidence and professionalism meant that I had the utmost faith in her and my results were brilliant, far better than I had anticipated. Would throughout recommend her and the practice. 5 stars!

I cannot recommend the team the innovation and treatments more highly than at the Skin To Love Clinic. They are at the cutting edge of beauty and have new ways and procedures that make your skin look beautiful. I've spent many years on Harley and Wimpole street and assumed you couldn't get this level of investment and treatments anywhere else but the Skin the Love clinic not only offer every top treatment but the Jane and Sue are so skillful and have a real eye for what will work for you. Their mini thread lift is incredible as is their 'vampire' treatment but skin since I have moved to St Albans has improved dramatically
