Clear & Brilliant® and Perméa®
Treatment & technology
The Clear & Brilliant® non-ablative fractionated laser improves the overall quality of the skin. It allows us to treat pigmentation, texture and tone of the skin in the same treatment. It can be done on all skin types.
This laser has 2 different wavelengths: Perméa® is more superficial (1927 nm) and Clear & Brilliant® goes deeper (1440 nm). Depending on skin needs, our professionals will guide you in your choice between these two treatments.
This laser technology creates subcutaneous micro-perforations to generate the natural healing and repair process of the skin. It thus increases the production of new skin cells and stimulates collagen production.
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 4-session treatment.
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 4-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.
Zones treatable by Clear & Brilliant® & Perméa®
Clear & Brilliant® and Perméa® are specifically designed to treat the face, neck, décolleté and hands.
Session at a Glance
- 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.
