Clear + Brilliant® Laser in Los Angeles: Gentle Skin Rejuvenation in Brentwood

Clear + Brilliant® is a non-ablative laser resurfacing treatment that works beneath the surface without removing the skin’s outer layer. It stimulates collagen to refresh the skin and help prevent early aging, and the intensity is adjusted to your skin type and goals. Board-Certified physician Dr. Kia Shakib offers it at Skin Spa by Dr. Kia in Brentwood, Los Angeles.

Clear + Brilliant® uses the same technology as Fraxel in a less intense form, which is why it is nicknamed Baby Fraxel. Because it is less intense than other lasers, it comes with low downtime. Dr. Kia compares the two and recommends the laser that fits your skin, your goals, and the downtime you prefer.

Clear + Brilliant® can reduce the appearance of fine lines, minimize pores, smooth texture, improve tone, and fade brown spots and discoloration. The laser breaks up damaged cells at the base of the epidermis, which makes room for fresh, healthy skin. Dr. Kia Shakib explains which of these concerns the laser can address for you, since results vary from patient to patient.

Yes, Clear + Brilliant® is known to work on darker skin tones and suits all skin tones, because the laser targets water in the skin rather than pigment. Dr. Kia reviews your skin tone and history and sets the intensity to fit you, so you know what to expect before treatment begins.

Numbing cream is applied before treatment so you stay comfortable while the laser creates tiny columns of heat with untreated skin between them. These micro-wounds boost collagen production as the skin heals. Afterward, an antioxidant serum is applied, and an optional biocellulose mask is available. Dr. Kia Shakib adjusts the treatment to your comfort and skin.

Clear + Brilliant® patients report optimal results after 4 to 6 sessions. Collagen builds as the skin heals after each treatment, and Dr. Kia sets the number and spacing of sessions for your skin after he reviews your concerns and goals. He adjusts the plan as your skin responds. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.

Clear + Brilliant® has low downtime. It is less intense than other lasers, so it does not cause the prolonged redness, burn-like appearance, or flaking that stronger treatments can. Dr. Kia Shakib reviews aftercare and recommends a post-treatment skincare routine to support your results and keep your skin healthy between sessions.

Yes, Clear + Brilliant® can be combined with microneedling and BOTOX® Cosmetic as part of a tailored plan. Dr. Kia plans combinations around your goals so each treatment supports the others. Combined plans reflect your skin type, your goals, and the downtime you are comfortable with, and he adjusts them over time as your skin responds.
