Boston winters are not kind to skin. Months of cold air and low humidity leave many patients coming into spring with a complexion that looks tired, uneven, and flat. If your skincare routine isn’t cutting through the dullness, a professional laser treatment can reset your skin in a way that no serum or exfoliant can match.
At Krauss Dermatology, two laser treatments consistently deliver standout brightening results: Clear + Brilliant for patients who want a radiant, refreshed glow with minimal downtime, and UltraClear for those ready to address texture, fine lines, and dullness in one more comprehensive treatment. Here’s how they compare.
Clear + Brilliant: The Go-To Brightening Treatment
Clear + Brilliant has earned a reputation as one of the most popular skin-refreshing treatments available, and for good reason. It uses gentle fractional laser energy to create microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin, prompting the body to replace damaged tissue with fresh, healthy skin.
The result is a visible improvement in radiance, evenness, and overall skin quality. Patients consistently describe their skin as glowing, smoother to the touch, and more receptive to skincare products after treatment.
Clear + Brilliant works especially well for:
- Dull, tired-looking skin that lacks radiance
- Uneven skin tone and early sun damage
- Fine surface texture and enlarged pores
- Patients with busy schedules who need minimal downtime
- Anyone looking to maintain results from more intensive treatments
Downtime after Clear + Brilliant is minimal. Skin may look slightly pink and feel like a mild sunburn for a day or two, but most patients return to normal activities immediately. A series of four to six treatments spaced three to four weeks apart produces cumulative results, and many patients incorporate it into their regular skincare routine as a maintenance treatment.
Clear + Brilliant suits a wide range of skin tones and types, making it one of the most accessible laser options available.
