Clear + Brilliant Touch (1440/1927 nm)

In a sentence: Clear + Brilliant Touch combines the original 1440 nm with a 1927 nm wavelength in one platform—so clinicians can customise a polish + pigment session with minimal downtime.1

Who it’s best for

  • 20s–30s: maintenance plus targeted pigment control.
  • 40s–50s: lighter refreshes between stronger lasers.
  • 60s: gentle tune-ups when downtime needs to stay low.
  • Skin tones: customisable settings; discuss conservative approaches for Fitzpatrick IV–VI to limit PIH risk.2

What it can do

  • Smooth texture and fine lines (1440 nm) while addressing pigment (1927 nm) in the same visit.1
  • Improve early sun damage on face/neck/chest with quick recovery.

What it can’t do

Not a lifting or deep-resurfacing device; etched lines or heavier pigment may need stronger fractional or staged plans.

Treatment & sessions

  • During: tailored passes at each wavelength; full face ~20–30 minutes.3
  • How many: 3–4 sessions, ~4 weeks apart; maintenance every 3–6 months.2
  • When you see it: mild “sandpaper” feel 1–3 days; glow/pigment improve over 1–3 weeks.

Healing time & aftercare

  • Downtime: usually 0–3 days of pinkness/flake.1
  • Aftercare: gentle skincare + SPF diligent; pause actives for several days.4

Safety in deeper complexions (skin of colour)

Start conservatively, especially with 1927 nm; test spots and sun avoidance decrease PIH risk.2

Possible side effects & complications

  • Common: redness, swelling, bronzing/flake.3
  • Less common: acne bumps, PIH, cold-sore flare.
  • Rare: burns/scars (usually with incorrect settings or sun exposure).

How it compares

  • Versus classic C+B: Touch can address texture + pigment more efficiently in one appointment.
  • Versus MOXI/Fraxel/LaseMD: those 1927/1940 nm platforms are stronger per pass but with more visible flake (2–5 days).

At-a-glance

  • Best for: combined texture + mild pigment.
  • Sessions: 3–4 then maintenance.
  • Downtime: low (0–3 days).
