Improve your complexion and texture

Clear + Brilliant and Perméa Quebec

Clear + Brilliant and Perméa is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City. It features two distinct modes: Clear + Brilliant (1440 nm), which acts in the deeper layers of the skin, and Perméa (1927 nm), which acts more on the surface. Both modes create controlled subcutaneous micro-perforations that prompt the skin to produce new collagen.

This treatment is most often considered by patients who would like to refine skin texture, even out their complexion, soften pigment spots and revive radiance. Depending on goals and skin condition, the treatment may be received using one mode, the other, or a combination of the two within a personalized plan, and it is suitable for all skin types regardless of recent sun exposure. It can also be planned alongside other in-clinic treatments such as chemical peels or medical-grade skincare protocols within a broader treatment plan. 

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, Clear + Brilliant and Perméa at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether this treatment is the most appropriate option for you and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

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.
