Clear + Brilliant™ in Portland & Lake Oswego
Clear, radiant skin can make you feel more youthful, vibrant, and confident—but achieving that goal can often seem challenging. Thanks to the advanced technology of Clear + Brilliant™ laser treatments, achieving clear, glowing skin has never been easier. At In My Own Skin Med Spa, we offer both the Clear + Brilliant Original and Perméa handpieces. The Perméa handpiece enhances the skin’s permeability, allowing for deeper absorption of topical skincare products applied during treatment, boosting their effectiveness for even better results.
What Is Clear + Brilliant?
Clear + Brilliant™ is a gentle, non-invasive laser treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, and radiance. It works by targeting the deeper layers of the skin to promote collagen production, reduce fine lines, and address surface imperfections like sun damage and pores. The treatment is customizable, with minimal downtime, making it an ideal option for those seeking smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
What Areas Can It Treat?
Clear + Brilliant is designed to resurface and improve the overall look of the skin on the following areas:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest
How Long Will My Results Last?
Results from Clear + Brilliant™ can typically be seen within a few days to a week after treatment, as the skin starts to feel smoother and more radiant. However, optimal results often require a series of treatments, usually spaced about 3-4 weeks apart, with full benefits becoming visible after 3-5 sessions. These results improve over time as collagen production continues to stimulate skin renewal.
