CLEAR & BRILLIANT® AND PERMÉA®
Clear & Brilliant® non-ablative fractionated laser is an effective way to improve the overall quality of your skin. It can address issues related to pigmentation, texture, and tone, all in one treatment. What’s more, it is suitable for all skin types. This laser treatment uses two different wavelengths: Perméa® (1927 nm) for more superficial treatment, and Clear & Brilliant® (1440 nm) for deeper treatment. Our professionals will help you determine which treatment is best for your skin’s needs.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE TREATMENT?
During the treatment, subcutaneous micro-perforations are created, triggering the natural healing and repair process of your skin. This, in turn, promotes the production of new skin cells and stimulates collagen production, leading to better skin quality.
CLEAR & BRILLIANT® : A complete treatment!
Objectives: texture, tone and complexion
With its longer wavelength, Clear & Brilliant® treats deeper skin layers than Perméa®. It effectively tightens dilated pores, softens wrinkles and fine lines and improves skin tone, texture and complexion. This treatment can be done alone, or as a 3-5 session treatment. Clear & Brilliant® and Perméa® are established as gentle alternatives to other more powerful fractionated lasers, in order to refine skin texture, improve texture, and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and wrinkles.
PERMÉA® : A powerful exfoliation!
Objectives: complexion and texture
– Provides a more even tone for the skin, reducing overall pigmentation concerns
– Provides deeper hydratation for softer skin
Perméa® is loved by patients who are used to microdermabrasion because it provides a much more powerful exfoliation. Thus, it allows cosmeceuticals to penetrate well into the skin for deep hydration. Perméa® can be done alone or as a 3-5 session treatment. Clear & Brilliant® and Perméa® are specifically designed to treat the face, neck, décolleté and hands.

Taking photographs
Taking a picture before your Clear & Brilliant® and Perméa® treatments allows you to better visualize the progress before/after the treatment.
Application of an anesthetic gel for Clear & Brilliant® treatment
Desensitizing the skin with lidocaine anesthetic gel will reduce discomfort during your Clear & Brilliant® treatment. This product is applied and left on clean skin for about 20 minutes prior to treatment. The application of anesthetic gel for your PerméaMD treatment is not necessary since this treatment is more superficial.
Cleansing and disinfecting the skin
Carefully removing all traces of gel, makeup and lipid film is an essential step before your Clear & Brilliant® and Perméa® treatments. It is important to disinfect the skin with alcohol to create a suitable and sterile canvas before the procedure begins.
Adequate eye protection
Protective eyewear may be required to provide adequate eye protection in the event of light emission. It is normal to see a few flashes of light throughout the treatment. Once well protected, your eyes are safe and have nothing to worry about.
Start of treatment
Applying the applicator to the skin of the target area and discharging the energy onto the surface signals the beginning of the treatment. Feeling the laser light on your skin can be unpleasant. It is normal to feel slight pinching and a heat effect during treatment.
Application of adapted products
Apply a thin layer of Aquafor for the first 4 hours. Post-treatment recommendations must be strictly followed for the skin to recover properly.
Maintenance treatment
The treated area must be adequately protected from the sun for 6 months following treatment. The results are progressive: in a week or two, the skin will be softer and more radiant.
Clear & Brilliant® and Perméa® treatments offer visible results. In a series of treatments, the sessions are spaced 4 weeks apart to gradually achieve the targeted texture and complexion objectives.
Contraindications
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should delay this type of treatment, as well as anyone who has received Accutane treatment in the past 2 months.
