What is Clear + Brilliant?
Clear + Brilliant is a gentle fractional laser, and Dr Refresh uses the newest system, Clear + Brilliant Touch. It makes thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin, which triggers your body's natural healing and new collagen. Damaged surface skin is replaced with fresh, healthy-looking skin, while the tissue around each zone stays intact, so recovery is quick. It improves overall tone and texture, the look of enlarged pores, fine lines, early sun damage and uneven pigment.
It suits adults in their 20s through 50s who want to prevent early signs of aging or give tired skin a refresh, and it is a popular first laser. Most people do a series of four to six sessions, two to four weeks apart, then upkeep every one to three months. Expect mild redness and a sandpaper feel for one to three days. At Dr Refresh in West Hollywood, pricing is set at your free consultation.
Why a gentle laser.
A glow within a week
Many people notice smoother, brighter skin in the first week.
Comfortable with numbing
Numbing cream goes on first. Most feel only a warm prickle.

A quiet treatment room in West Hollywood, under Dr. Fisher's medical direction.
How Clear + Brilliant works.
It is a fractional laser, which means it treats a fraction of the skin at a time. The handpiece glides across your face and makes thousands of tiny treatment zones in the upper layers of skin. Each zone is surrounded by untouched skin, which helps it heal fast. As it heals, your body sheds damaged surface cells and builds new collagen, so tone, texture and pores improve a little more with each session. It uses much lower energy than aggressive resurfacing lasers, so the downtime is short. The Touch system has two handpieces: the 1440 nm Original for texture, pores and fine lines, and the 1927 nm Permea for uneven tone and early sun spots. Your provider can use both in one visit.
- Two handpieces, one visit
- Numbing cream for comfort
- Work the same or next day
This laser is built for prevention and upkeep. For deeper lines, scars or loose skin, your provider may suggest Morpheus8.

Clear + Brilliant questions, answered.
What is Clear + Brilliant, and how does it work?
A gentle fractional laser that makes millions of microscopic treatment zones in the skin to trigger natural healing and collagen. It resurfaces the outer layer while leaving the surrounding tissue intact, so recovery is fast.
What skin concerns does it address?
Overall tone and texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and early sun damage. It also helps dullness, uneven pigment and rough skin.
Who is a good candidate?
Adults who want to keep skin looking youthful or treat the earliest signs of aging. It suits people in their 20s through 50s who want prevention or a gentle refresher.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people get the best results from a series of four to six sessions, two to four weeks apart. Many return for upkeep every one to three months.
Does it hurt?
Most feel only mild discomfort, like a warm prickle or light sandpaper. Numbing cream is applied first, and it is one of the most comfortable laser treatments.
What is the downtime?
Minimal. Expect mild redness and a rough, sandpaper-like texture for one to three days. Most people go back to work the same day or the next.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Many notice a glow and smoother texture within the first week. Results build with each session, and the biggest change usually shows after three to four. With upkeep visits and daily sunscreen, the improvement lasts.
Are there side effects?
Temporary redness, mild swelling and a rough or dry feel that clears within a few days. Some get light peeling, like a mild sunburn. Serious side effects are uncommon with trained providers.
How does it compare to more aggressive laser resurfacing?
It uses much lower energy, so there is far less downtime and discomfort. Aggressive lasers can do more in fewer sessions, but this one is gentler and made for prevention and upkeep.
Is it safe for all skin types?
It is safe for a wide range of skin types, with settings adjusted to your tone. If you have very dark skin, talk with our team first so we can choose the safest approach.
How do I prepare, and what is the aftercare?
Stop retinoids, glycolic acid and other active products three to five days before, and avoid tanning for two weeks. Afterward, use a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen daily, and avoid sun, hot showers, saunas and hard exercise for 24 to 48 hours. Wait 12 to 24 hours before makeup.
How much does Clear + Brilliant cost in West Hollywood?
It depends on your plan. Call Dr Refresh at (323) 530-2879 or book a free consultation for personalized pricing.
