What Is Clear + Brilliant® Touch?

Clear + Brilliant Touch is Solta Medical’s next-generation fractional laser system, the gentler, more preventive cousin of aggressive resurfacing lasers like Fraxel. It’s designed to bridge the gap between at-home skincare and more intense in-office procedures, making it ideal for clients who want visible improvement without a long recovery.

The Touch system uses two interchangeable wavelengths in one session:

  • Original 1440nm handpiece – works deeper in the skin to soften fine lines, minimize pore appearance, and boost collagen
  • Perméa® 1927nm handpiece – works closer to the surface to even skin tone, target pigmentation, and improve how well skincare products absorb

 

Together, they deliver a complete resurfacing treatment, texture, tone, and prevention  in a single appointment.

How Does Clear + Brilliant® Touch Work?

  1. Numbing – a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort (about 20–30 minutes)
  2. Laser passes – the handpiece delivers thousands of microscopic laser pulses, creating tiny treatment zones in the skin
  3. Natural healing response – your body replaces these micro-treated cells with fresh, healthy tissue
  4. Collagen boost – the healing process stimulates new collagen production for firmer, smoother skin over time

 

Most clients describe the sensation as a warm, prickly heat, mild enough that many return to work the same day.

What Can Clear + Brilliant® Treat?

  • Fine lines and early wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and dullness
  • Enlarged pores
  • Mild sun damage and pigmentation
  • Rough texture

 

It’s a great entry point into laser skin treatment San Jose clients often pair with our microneedling or laser hair removal services for a more complete skin rejuvenation routine  or with dermal fillers for clients also looking to restore volume.
