Karen Shirley shares her firsthand experience integrating Clear + Brilliant Touch into their clinic, highlighting its role in providing customisable, comprehensive treatment solutions while delivering a strong return on investment.
Adopting the right technology is essential for aesthetic practices to stay at the forefront of the industry, driving both clinical excellence and business growth in an increasingly competitive market.
As patient demand for effective, low-downtime, non-invasive skin rejuvenation only continues to rise, clinics are actively seeking cutting-edge solutions to stay ahead of the game. For owner/ nurse Karen Shirley at The Skin Clinicians, integrating Solta Medical’s Clear + Brilliant Touch was a strategic decision to enhance their treatment portfolio and elevate patient outcomes.
This latest generation of Clear + Brilliant maintains the hallmark benefits of the brand, but the addition of dual wavelengths considerably broadens its scope and offers a more customised and comprehensive treatment.

Why did you choose Clear + Brilliant Touch for your clinic?
The Skin Clinicians adopts a French- inspired ethos, embracing the allure of effortless beauty. Our acquisition of the Clear + Brilliant Touch laser was driven by this ethos and our ongoing commitment to providing effective, minimally invasive treatments tailored to each patient. Clear + Brilliant delivers noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone and radiance with little to no downtime, aligning perfectly with the needs and lifestyles of our patients.
By incorporating Clear + Brilliant Touch’s dual wavelength technology into our practice, we can offer our patients a comprehensive approach to skin prejuvenation and rejuvenation that seamlessly both complements and integrates with our existing treatments.
Dual wavelengths (1440nm and 1927nm) provides versatility in addressing both deep and superficial skin concerns, allowing us to tailor treatments to the client’s individual needs.
The device is simple to use, is suitable for all skin tones, has been proven to be effective and reliable, and requires no laser licensing.
By incorporating Clear + Brilliant, we’ve enhanced our ability to offer a comprehensive, synergistic approach to skin care.
How does it complement your existing treatment portfolio?
Clear + Brilliant Touch’s compatibility with other procedures allows for multi-modality treatments in a single visit, maximising results within limited timeframes, perfect for clients who like exceptional results fast, have forthcoming events, or are travelling from interstate or overseas.
Clear + Brilliant is fast becoming a cornerstone in our clinic’s portfolio, seamlessly integrating and complementing our existing offerings and meeting our diverse patient needs.
How does it help to boost your profitability?
As we all know in this industry, reputation is everything. Clear + Brilliant has established itself as a trusted name in skin rejuvenation, scientifically backed with over 20 clinical studies and 2.9 million treatments performed worldwide. The latest Clear + Brilliant rendition combines both 1440nm and 1927nm wavelengths in a single integrated system, allowing for more versatile and efficient treatments for a wider range of skin concerns. This ability to treat all skin tones and ages broadens our potential client base, and its rapidly visibly results with minimal downtime encourages client retention, enhancing our revenue stream.

This word-of-mouth marketing, coupled with the treatment’s reputation for delivering consistent results, drives referrals and attracts new clients.

What are the benefits of having two wavelengths in the one device?
The Clear + Brilliant Touch laser’s dual handpiece system offers significant advantages for both practitioners and patients. By incorporating both the Original 1440nm and Perméa 1927nm wavelengths in a single device, we can address multiple skin concerns in one treatment session, targeting both deeper and more superficial layers of the skin. This versatility allows us to customise treatments to meet specific patient goals, whether they’re focused on improving fine lines, minimising pores, enhancing skin tone or addressing pigmentation.
The ability to use both handpieces in a single treatment not only improves overall results but also reduces treatment card costs, making it a cost-effective option for our clients.
Can you comment on the user experience?
The Clear + Brilliant Touch system offers an exceptional user experience, combining simplicity with advanced safety features. Its intuitive interface and uncomplicated options menu make it easy for practitioners to navigate and operate. The ergonomically designed handpieces, coupled with disposable roller tips, ensure comfortable handling and precise control during treatments while minimising the risk of cross- contamination.
A standout feature is the device’s built-in safety mechanism, which only activates the laser when proper contact is established, enhancing treatment accuracy and patient safety. The optional audible feedback and visual indicators guide users in maintaining optimal speed and contact; this further improves treatment consistency and outcomes.
The user-friendly design, combined with its versatility in complementing other treatments, makes the device a valuable addition to our practice.
What results have you observed with the new Clear + Brilliant Touch?
The Clear + Brilliant Touch has already demonstrated remarkable results at The Skin Clinicians, surpassing expectations from the very first treatment. Patients experience an immediate boost in skin radiance, with pronounced cumulative benefits after subsequent sessions.
The dual-wavelength technology effectively stimulates collagen production, resulting in a reduction in fine lines and a more youthful, healthier skin appearance. We have observed significant improvements in pore refinement, skin texture and pigment reduction. Patients report increased confidence in the appearance of their skin, often reducing their reliance on makeup.
One of the most appreciated aspects of the treatment is its minimal downtime, with clients able to resume their social activities and return to work the very next day, requiring only a gentle application of mineral makeup to camouflage any pinkness.
One of our Clear + Brilliant Touch treatment protocols offers the application of tailored serums, when the skin is 17 times more permeable, followed by a hydrating hyaluronic mask and multi-LED light therapy. By combining these therapies, we ensure that patients receive a comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatment in a single session. Importantly, they leave feeling happy, relaxed, comfortable and excited about future Clear + Brilliant Touch treatments.
Why did you choose to partner with Solta Medical?

The device’s proven track record in delivering reliable, consistent results with minimal downtime made it an ideal addition to our treatment portfolio.
However, what truly cemented our choice was the commitment of Solta Medical to providing ongoing support and mentorship by Renee Davidson, our dedicated Business Development Manager. Her professionalism, industry knowledge and commitment to our success exemplifies Solta’s customer-centric approach.
