Is Clear + Brilliant safe?

Clear + Brilliant is safe for almost everyone, even dark skin tones. Discuss with your doctor any questions or concerns you might have.

Are there side effects?

There may be some peeling or crustiness afterward, but this is very mild. Overall, there are no common side effects, but you will look and feel like you have a sunburn.

Is Clear + Brilliant painful?

Skincare experts take their time to ensure that the patients are comfortable by applying a numbing cream to the area. Most patients report that it is very mild and virtually painless.

How do I know if I am a good candidate?

During your initial consultation, we will discuss your options to achieve your ultimate skincare goals. During this time, we are happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have and develop a proper treatment plan.

What is the downtime?

As discussed previously, there is no downtime, but you should follow the aftercare procedures. Most patients will resume their daily activities with no recovery period needed. You can return to work as usual but might want to skip the makeup immediately following treatment to avoid any pain and infections that could occur.

The procedure is minimally invasive and provides optimal results. It is a perfect treatment for anyone who is not ready yet for a Fraxel or CO2 that more aggressive skin resurfacing options. You will see clear and brilliant skin even after a single treatment, while a series of treatments will lead to remarkable results with no downtime.

How soon will I see the results?

The results are visible within a week. Skin will look and feel smoother, brighter, and softer, with visible improvement over the next few weeks.

Clear and Brilliant, known as “Baby Fraxel,” uses a gentle fractional laser to rejuvenate skin from the inside out. It creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen and elastin production, pushing new, freshly looking skin to the surface.

How often can I get the treatment?

It is recommended to get the treatment once a month.

PicoWay® Pigment Removal in Brooklyn, NY

Brighten, Refresh, and Restore Even-Toned Skin

At Skin Envy in Brooklyn, NY, we offer innovative laser treatment for unwanted pigmentation using the PicoWay® laser. This advanced device delivers ultra-short bursts of light energy that target excess melanin, the pigment responsible for uneven skin tone. The process gradually fades concerns such as sunspots, melasma, and age spots while keeping the surrounding skin protected.

The PicoWay® system is especially helpful for stubborn pigmentation, including melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). By working beneath the skin’s surface, it breaks pigment into tiny fragments that the body naturally removes. Suitable for all skin tones, including darker and Asian complexions, PicoWay® treatments create smoother, clearer skin with little to no recovery time.

How It Works

PicoWay® technology releases rapid picosecond pulses, trillionths of a second, that fragment unwanted pigment into micro-particles cleared by the body’s healing process. Because the laser energy relies on light instead of heat, treatments are gentle, and recovery is fast.

Each session addresses pigment at different depths for balanced results. Common concerns treated include:

Sunspots (solar lentigines): Flat, dark spots from sun exposure
Melasma: Hormonal discoloration commonly seen on the face
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Marks that follow acne or injury
Nevus of Ota and Café-au-Lait macules

What to Expect During Treatment

Your visit begins with a skin evaluation so the provider can customize your plan. The PicoWay® handpiece is then moved across the treatment area, sending precise bursts of light into the pigment. You might feel a light snapping sensation, but most patients describe the treatment as comfortable. A topical numbing cream is available if needed.

Sessions usually take 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the area treated, and you can return to daily activities right away at our Brooklyn office.

Downtime and Aftercare

Recovery is minimal. Mild redness, swelling, or temporary darkening may occur and typically resolves within a day.

For best results:

Keep the area clean and dry for 24 hours
Avoid sun exposure for one week
Do not scratch or pick treated skin
Apply the ointment recommended by your provider

Treated spots can darken slightly before flaking off within several days. Makeup may be applied 24 hours after treatment.

Number of Treatments

Most patients need a few sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal improvement. The number varies by skin type, pigment depth, and area treated.

Mild pigment or sunspots: 1 to 2 sessions
Melasma or deeper pigment: 3 to 5 sessions

Your provider will design a plan that best fits your skin and goals.
