Clear + Brilliant is often described as a “starter laser” or maintenance treatment. But in a dermatology setting, it becomes a medically guided skin renewal procedure. Though uncommon, improper patient selection or excessive energy settings may increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is why physician expertise is essential.
At Marie Hayag MD, Clear + Brilliant treatments are performed under physician supervision to ensure proper diagnosis, precise laser settings, and safe application based on Fitzpatrick skin type and individual concerns.
Although Clear + Brilliant is considered a gentle fractional laser treatment, medical oversight remains essential. Improper settings or patient selection can increase risks such as irritation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or uneven results, particularly in darker skin tones.
Every patient undergoes a comprehensive skin evaluation prior to treatment. This physician-led model differentiates our Upper East Side dermatology practice from medspa environments by ensuring:
