What is Clear + Brilliant?
Clear + Brilliant is a gentle fractional laser treatment often called a "baby Fraxel" — it uses the same technology as Fraxel but at a lower intensity, making it ideal for skin maintenance, early aging, and patients who want results without significant downtime.
The laser creates millions of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing response to produce new collagen and replace damaged tissue with healthier skin. Treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients need a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart for best results.
Clear + Brilliant is one of the safest laser options for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick III–IV) because of its lower heat output compared to BBL, IPL, or full Fraxel. It is a popular choice for early tone and texture concerns, pore minimization, and maintaining results between more intensive treatments.
How much does Clear + Brilliant cost in San Francisco?
Clear + Brilliant in San Francisco typically costs $420 to $630 per session. Most patients see the best results from a series of 3 to 6 sessions, bringing the total to $1,260 to $3,360. Many providers offer package pricing for multi-session commitments.

What to ask your provider
- How many sessions do you recommend for my skin concerns and tone?
- Is Clear + Brilliant right for me, or would microneedling or Fraxel give better results?
- Is this safe for my skin tone? I want to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- What does recovery look like — redness, peeling, downtime?
- Do you offer package pricing for a series of sessions?
- Can I combine this with other treatments like HydraFacial or dermaplaning?
Frequently asked questions
How much does Clear + Brilliant cost in San Francisco?
Clear + Brilliant in San Francisco typically costs $420 to $630 per session. A series of 3 sessions — the typical starting protocol — runs $1,260 to $3,360. Many providers offer package discounts for committing to a series upfront.
What does Clear + Brilliant treat?
Clear + Brilliant improves skin tone and texture, minimizes pore size, reduces early fine lines, corrects mild sun damage, and gives skin an overall refreshed appearance. It is best for early aging and maintenance rather than deep wrinkles or significant scarring — for those concerns, Fraxel or CO2 laser is more appropriate.
What is Clear + Brilliant recovery like?
Downtime is minimal compared to more aggressive lasers. Expect redness for 24 to 48 hours and a fine sandpaper-like texture for 2 to 3 days as the treated microchannels heal. Most patients apply mineral makeup the next day and return to normal activities immediately. Full results appear 1 to 2 weeks after each session.
Clear + Brilliant vs Fraxel — what is the difference?
Clear + Brilliant and Fraxel use the same fractional laser technology, but Fraxel is more aggressive — it treats deeper layers, requires more downtime (5 to 7 days of peeling), and delivers more dramatic results. Clear + Brilliant is the gentler version, ideal for maintenance and mild concerns with minimal downtime. If you need significant correction, Fraxel is the upgrade.
Is Clear + Brilliant safe for darker skin tones?
Yes — Clear + Brilliant is one of the safer laser options for Fitzpatrick skin types III and IV because its lower energy reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation compared to BBL, IPL, or full Fraxel. For skin types V and VI, consult with an experienced provider before any laser treatment.
