Clear + Brilliant and Perméa Riverbend

Clear + Brilliant and Perméa is a non-ablative fractionated laser treatment that improves overall skin quality by creating microscopic treatment zones in the skin to stimulate natural healing and collagen production. The system offers two distinct wavelengths: Clear + Brilliant (1440 nm) penetrates deeper layers to refine texture and reduce fine lines, while Perméa (1927 nm) delivers a more superficial exfoliation to target pigmentation and enhance hydration.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Taking photographs

Taking a picture before your Clear + Brilliant and Perméa treatments allows you to better visualize the progress before/after the treatment.

Step 2

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 Perméa treatment is not necessary since this treatment is more superficial.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

The treated area must be adequately protected from the sun for 6 months following treatment. The results are progressive: in a week or two, the skin will be softer and more radiant. Clear + Brilliant and Perméa treatments offer visible results. In a series of treatments, the sessions are spaced 4 weeks apart to gradually achieve the targeted texture and complexion objectives.

Contraindications

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should delay this type of treatment, as well as anyone who has received Accutane treatment in the past 2 months. Patients who have been exposed to the sun without sun protection within 7 days before the treatment date will not be able to receive it.
