What Is Clear + Brilliant Laser Treatment?

Clear + Brilliant is a fractional, non-invasive laser treatment designed to improve overall skin tone, refine texture, and boost radiance. It works by creating millions of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin. These micro-injuries trigger renewed collagen production and prompt the body to replace damaged cells with healthier, more vibrant skin.

The result is smoother, clearer, brighter skin with improved elasticity and a youthful glow.

How Clear + Brilliant Works

Clear + Brilliant uses fractional laser energy to refresh skin from the inside out. Although the treatment is gentle, its controlled laser micro-injuries activate powerful regenerative processes.

Fractional Laser Penetration

Clear + Brilliant delivers pinpoint microbeams that penetrate only the outermost skin layers. These microzones stimulate cellular turnover and collagen renewal without damaging the surrounding skin.

Collagen Stimulation

The laser encourages your skin to replace old, damaged cells with fresh, healthy ones. The boost in collagen production gradually smooths fine lines and improves elasticity.

Enhanced Radiance

By renewing skin texture and evening tone, Clear + Brilliant restores luminosity and improves overall skin brightness.

Minimal Downtime

Because much of the tissue remains intact between the treatment zones, healing is rapid. Most patients return to regular activities immediately.

What to Expect During a Clear + Brilliant Treatment

Clear + Brilliant sessions at StudioMD SoHo are quick, comfortable, and ideal for busy schedules.

Consultation and Preparation

Your provider evaluates your skin type, discusses concerns, and selects the appropriate Clear + Brilliant handpiece. Makeup is removed, and the skin is cleansed thoroughly.

Treatment Process

A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. The laser handpiece is then glided across the skin in precise, overlapping patterns to ensure even coverage. Most patients describe the sensation as mild warmth or tingling.

Duration

A full-face Clear + Brilliant treatment takes approximately thirty minutes.
Immediately After Treatment

Your skin may feel warm or appear slightly flushed. These effects typically fade within a few hours.

Add-On Enhancements for More Radiance

During Clear + Brilliant treatments at StudioMD SoHo, you may choose optional upgrades that amplify hydration, repair, and glow.

Common add-on solutions include:

  • SkinCeuticals HA and B5 Gel for deep hydration and plumping
  • Rejuran Salmon DNA for elasticity and collagen support
  • Exosome Advanced Repair with growth factors for firmness and clarity
  • PRFM Facial to enhance rejuvenation through platelet-rich fibrin matrix

Add-ons can be discussed during your consultation to determine which combination best matches your goals.

Recovery

Clear + Brilliant is known for minimal to no downtime. After the treatment, you may experience temporary redness or a feeling similar to a mild sunburn. Over the next two to five days, the skin may feel slightly rough as it undergoes natural renewal. Makeup can typically be applied the next day, and regular activities resume immediately.

Patients should use gentle skincare and broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the newly treated skin.


Results

Clear + Brilliant provides both immediate and progressive improvements. Many patients notice enhanced radiance within the first week. Texture, tone, and fine lines continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen regenerates. For optimal results, most patients undergo a series of four to six sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Clear + Brilliant is also ideal for ongoing maintenance to preserve youthful, healthy-looking skin long term.

I had a few procedures done at StudioMD. I was very satisfied with the service Dr. Sadaf Qazi and her team provided. They kept me informed throughout the process. The doctor and her team was easy to reach after my surgery. I would highly recommend StudioMD.

Dr. Qazi and her entire staff have warm and welcoming demeanors, a high degree of hospitality, positive attitudes, always smiling and acting with the utmost level of respect, patient care, and making each patient feel special. They focus on client comfort and take their time with each person answering any and all questions. Dr. Qazi never rushes her appointments. She takes the time to listen to every concern and is thorough in each interaction I've had with her. She gave me her personal cell number so even during nights and weekends if a concern or question arises I am able to contact her for a mini evaluation of my issue or answering of my questions. The care I've received has continued long after the procedure was completed and I am so glad that I chose her to do my tummy tuck and liposuction. The results are outstanding and she is the only one I would trust to do any cosmetic procedures going forward.

I went to StudioMD's midtown location for laser tattoo removal. Jennifer is extremely personable, she ensured expectations for the amount of sessions needed for removal as well as ensured my comfort during the treatment. I chose to purchase a package for 6-sessions, and would consider seeking other treatments from StudioMD in the future. Would definitely recommend them to others, and in particular recommend working with Jennifer.

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure with Dr. Khan at Studio MD, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From my very first consultation to the post-op follow-ups, Dr. Khan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, skill, and care. What really stood out to me was his communication. He took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot!), and never made me feel rushed. He made sure I understood exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Dr. Khan's attention to detail is second to none. He was incredibly meticulous with his work, ensuring that everything was done with precision and care. I felt completely confident in his hands, and the results have exceeded my expectations. His thoroughness also extends to aftercare. He gave me clear post-op instructions, and made sure my recovery was smooth. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in delivering excellent outcomes. If you're considering SmartLipo or any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Khan. His expertise, communication, and attention to every little detail make him one of the best in the field. Thank you, Dr. Khan and the team at Studio MD!

I recently went into StudioMD to have a procedure done by Dr. Khan. Specifically, I wanted to treat excess fat in my abdominal area and decided to opt for smart lipo. Dr. Khan is very sure of himself as a doctor, which put a lot of my woes to the side. This was my first large cosmetic surgery, so I was extremely nervous. On the day of my procedure, I was delayed because some events were happening in the city, and Dr. Khan and his nurses were extremely accommodating. They let me take my time (I had to pee and just couldn't because of nerves until 2 minutes before surgery) and even gave me pep talks and stress balls to calm my nerves. When we got to work, it was quick and effortless. Dr. Khan allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted and even called the next day to see how I was doing. They prescribed meds that were ready for pickup immediately and even gave me additional meds that I asked for pain management just in case. One of the amazing nurse technicians even text me afterward and shared her favorite shapewear and other things to help with recovery. I know many of these things seem like, "yeah, they should do that", but I've seen a lot of practices that don't. I also felt the price was fairly affordable since I've seen similar pricing outside of NYC. I'm beginning to feel beautiful in my body again, and I am so thankful to Dr. Khan and his staff. I'll be back soon for some other small cosmetic procedures I want to keep up.

I was referred to Dr. Khan to have neck liposuction and decided to also have my midsection done to correct uneven results from another doctor. Understanding that revision work can be difficult... my expectations were low. I could see immediately after the surgery just how much he improved my situation. Dr Khan operates with the confidence of a seasoned professional. You really can't go wrong with this guy.

“I had my lipo with Dr Khan yesterday and today I can already see the desired changes in my waist and belly area ,I am happy with his performance”
