At Naya in Chatsworth, CA, we offer non-ablative fractional laser treatments, including Clear + Brilliant®, to help improve early signs of photoaging—such as uneven tone, fine lines, and texture—using technologies supported by dermatologic research and FDA clearance.
Non-ablative fractional lasers deliver controlled microcolumns of energy into the skin while leaving the surface largely intact. This creates microscopic zones of controlled injury that stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes and collagen production, with shorter recovery times than traditional ablative lasers.
Clear + Brilliant® is an FDA-cleared, non-ablative fractional diode laser system (1440 nm and 1927 nm) indicated for general skin resurfacing and soft tissue coagulation in dermatologic procedures.
Clinical studies and reviews of non-ablative fractional lasers have shown that, when used appropriately, they can:
Non-ablative fractional lasers are widely used for female and male patients with:
Evidence-based reviews show that, with appropriate settings and experienced providers, non-ablative fractional lasers can be used safely in darker skin phototypes, with a favorable safety profile and low rates of long-term pigment changes.

Evidence and professional guidelines describe typical post-treatment responses as:
Studies and expert reviews suggest that a series of treatments provides more noticeable improvement than a single session.
Typical treatment plans at Naya:
Non-ablative fractional lasers have a lower risk of scarring and pigmentary complications than ablative lasers when used correctly.
However, potential risks include:
You should not undergo treatment if you:
Yes. Clear + Brilliant® is an FDA-cleared non-ablative fractional diode laser system indicated for general skin resurfacing and soft tissue coagulation.
Non-ablative: Heats columns of tissue in the dermis while preserving most of the epidermis; shorter recovery, milder but meaningful improvement in photoaging.
Ablative: Removes the surface layer of skin (e.g., CO₂ or Er:YAG), often yields more dramatic results but with longer downtime and higher risk of complications.
Most people notice smoother texture and a brighter complexion within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months as collagen remodels—especially after a series of sessions.
Clinical reviews in skin of color indicate that fractional non-ablative lasers can be used safely in darker phototypes when conservative parameters and proper aftercare are used, with low rates of permanent pigment changes.
