Treatment Overview
The Clear + Brilliant Laser is a gentle fractional, non-ablative 1440/1927 nm laser system designed to refresh the skin’s surface while addressing pigmentation and early signs of aging. Unlike stronger lasers such as Fraxel Dual, Clear + Brilliant uses a low-energy fractional approach, making it safe and effective for freckles, sun damage, mild pigmentation, and overall skin brightening.
In Korea, Clear + Brilliant is often used for patients with freckles, UV-induced pigmentation, and dull skin tone who want visible improvement with minimal downtime. It’s also popular as a maintenance or preventive treatment for younger patients or those who want to keep freckles from worsening.

- Clear + Brilliant: Best for freckles, mild pigmentation, and preventive care.
- Carbon Peel: Best for freckles + oily skin + brightening.
- Pico Lasers: Best for stubborn freckles and deeper pigmentation.
