Both Clear + Brilliant and Pico lasers offer remarkable results for skin rejuvenation and pigment correction—but they work differently and are suited to different skin concerns. Here’s how to understand what our providers recommend and why.
Pico Toning (PicoSure)
Pico toning is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses ultra-short bursts of laser energy to gently break up pigment in the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. It’s an excellent solution for treating:
- Sun Damage & Pigmentation: Fades unwanted sunspots, freckles, and melasma.
- Acne Scars & Blemishes: Helps smooth texture and reduce post-acne discoloration.
- Skin Tone & Texture: Gently refines and evens skin tone with repeated treatments.
- Collagen Boosting: Stimulates natural collagen production for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
- Minimal Downtime: Slight redness may occur but most patients resume normal activity the same day.
- Safe for Summer: Can be safely performed year-round with proper sun protection.
Pico lasers are especially effective for targeting stubborn pigment and patients seeking clearer, smoother skin with minimal disruption.
Clear + Brilliant
This non-ablative fractional laser creates micro-injuries in the skin’s surface to trigger renewal—ideal for:
- Fine Lines & Early Wrinkles: Improves skin’s smoothness and youthful glow.
- Sun Spots & Pigmentation: Targets early discoloration for a more even complexion.
- Texture & Pores: Enhances skin clarity and reduces visible pores.
- Preventative Care: Perfect for patients in their 20s to 40s looking to maintain fresh, healthy skin.
- Low Downtime: Mild redness and sensitivity usually resolve within 24–48 hours.
- Series-Friendly: Works best as a series of 4–6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Clear + Brilliant is a great introduction to laser treatments and can be part of an ongoing skin maintenance plan.
