With fractional resurfacing being clearly the most popular treatment over the past 1-2 years, patients are seeking procedures with the most limited downtime to accomodate their busy lives. Although there will always be some degree of ‘no pain, no gain’ to laser treatments, technologies are certainly maximizing results with limited recovery. Recently the developers of Fraxel released a fractional device called Clear & Brilliant. Although not as clinically dramatic in results as other Fraxel devices, the technology uses a novel wavelength of light that minimizes peeling during recovery. From our experience thus far, the technology benefits younger patients with limited amounts of sun damage or more advanced patients who are looking for no downtime maintenance to other procedures they have done in the past. The treatment takes about 15 min and produces mild redness that lasts only a few hours. Makeup can be applied immediately and the skin will feel dry for a few days only. Thus far, Clear and Brilliant seems like a very promising minimally invasive treatment for overall skin rejuvenation. Although the results are not as dramatic as other Fraxel procedures, it will certainly fill a much needed niche in the field of laser resurfacing.
