A short YouTube segment by Dr. Charles Mok explaining Clear + Brilliant, a low-energy, detuned Fraxel laser that treats about 5% of skin per session. The approach is framed as safer for darker skin types and for treating pigment disorders (melasma, hyperpigmentation) because it avoids worsening pigment while acting as a medication-delivery system by leaving most skin intact.

There's something called clear and brilliant that the Fraxel company came out with. The idea was using a very low energy version of the Fraxel and treating even a smaller portion of the skin at a time like 5%. They were doing it to try to figure out how to treat people with darker skin types and to treat people with pigment disorders without making the pigment disorder worse, which is always a complexity of treating, say, melasma or hyperpigmentation. They basically detuned the Fraxel machine to allow for that to happen. Even though we're only taking out 5% of the skin and leaving as both the regular fracture, more like 60%. We're creating a medication delivery system.
