Refine roughness and pore appearance
1440 nm may be considered when uneven texture, visible pores or early fine-line concerns are the main focus.
Description
What is Clear + Brilliant® Touch?
Clear + Brilliant Touch is a non-ablative fractional laser system with 1440 nm and 1927 nm handpieces. ‘Phoenix Light’ is a local nickname used in Taiwan; it is not Thermage. The 1440 nm option focuses on texture, refinement and the visible appearance of pores, while the 1927 nm Perméa option focuses on surface tone and radiance. At Geo Aesthetic Clinic, the physician starts with the concern that matters most and gives each session a clear role.
Breaking the dry-skin cycle is not the work of a laser alone. Treatment planning, post-treatment moisturising and sun protection need to form one complete pathway. The 1927 nm option supports epidermal renewal and the clearance of some superficial pigment. The clinic commonly plans sessions at about monthly intervals, with 3–6 sessions used as one observation course; the actual schedule is adjusted according to skin response.

Two wavelengths, individualized planning
Clear + Brilliant Touch offers 1440 nm and 1927 nm wavelengths. They are not interchangeable: the physician selects the wavelength, treatment area, and settings according to the concern and skin condition. Results and recovery vary by individual.
Dual-wavelength skin planning
Break the dry-skin cycle.
Move uneven pigment out of the way.
Clear + Brilliant® Touch gives physicians two precise ways to refine skin: 1440 nm for texture and pore appearance, and 1927 nm Perméa for superficial tone and radiance. At Geo Aesthetic Clinic, both handpieces are available, so the plan starts with what your skin needs—not with a preset package.
THE GEO APPROACH
We turn “I want brighter, smoother skin” into a trackable plan: identify the main obstacle, choose the wavelength and coverage, then compare the skin’s response at follow-up.

Monthly rhythmCommonly planned as 3–6 sessions
Start with the concern
One “dull” complexion can hide three different obstacles
Makeup that will not sit smoothly, tone that looks grey in photos and skin that feels rough can come from different layers. We separate them first, so each visit has a clear job instead of simply repeating the same treatment.
Help clear superficial pigment
1927 nm may support epidermal renewal and the clearance of selected superficial pigment. Melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation still require diagnosis.
End the dry-skin cycle with a complete plan
If the barrier is unstable, hydration and repair may come first. Laser, aftercare, moisturization and sun protection are connected as one plan.
Two wavelength options
Texture first, or brighter-looking tone first?
The difference is simple: 1440 nm focuses more on roughness, pore appearance and refinement; 1927 nm focuses more on dullness, uneven tone and selected superficial pigment. The physician chooses according to the main concern—both are not automatically required.
Option
Main focus
When to discuss it
1440 nm
Smoother-looking texture
Roughness, visible pores and early fine-line concerns.
1927 nm Perméa
Brighter, more even-looking tone
Dullness, uneven tone and selected superficial pigment concerns.
Staged plan
Start with the priority concern
Use one wavelength first, then decide the next step from the response.
Geo planning
Every visit should move the skin forward
The question is not which wavelength is “best.” It is what this skin needs today. We map the concern, select wavelength and coverage, and use each follow-up to decide whether to continue, alternate or adjust the plan.
Define the finish
Is the goal smoother makeup, more even tone, finer-looking pores or a steadier skincare rhythm?
Map the skin
Separate texture, superficial pigment, redness, active inflammation and areas that need medical evaluation.
Choose the treatment job
Select 1440 nm, 1927 nm or a staged approach; settings and coverage are individualized.
Build visible continuity
A common plan is once monthly for 3–6 sessions, with aftercare and the next visit adjusted to the response.
Compare by purpose
Clear + Brilliant, pico laser, IPL and skin care
These are not higher-versus-lower tiers. They address different questions and may be sequenced rather than substituted for one another.
Texture, pore appearance and tone planning through a non-ablative fractional-laser approach.
Often assessed for pigment or texture concerns, depending on the device, wavelength and handpiece.
Often assessed for selected vascular or pigment concerns after diagnosis and skin-type review.
Skin-cleansing, hydration or barrier-care roles; they do not replace medical diagnosis or laser planning.
MEDIA FEATURE
Dr. Chou Bang-Yi on modern skin-quality planning
Marie Claire Taiwan invited Dr. Chou to explain how dual-wavelength Clear + Brilliant planning and contour-focused treatments answer different layers of aesthetic concerns.
Feature focus: skin quality and facial contour are separate layers that call for different tools, timing and clinical judgment.
Read the Marie Claire feature ↗Recovery & safety
Gentler does not mean reaction-free
Temporary redness, warmth, dryness, tightness, swelling or a rough “sandpaper-like” texture may occur. Pigment change, blistering, infection or prolonged reaction are less common but require prompt medical assessment.
- Tell the physician about medication, allergies, pregnancy or planned pregnancy.
- Report recent sun exposure, laser, RF, ultrasound, injectables or procedures.
- Do not treat over open wounds, infection, acute inflammation or unstable skin disease without assessment.
- Do not stop medication on your own for the treatment.
- After treatment, follow instructions for gentle cleansing, moisturization and sun protection.
Questions worth asking
Clear + Brilliant Touch FAQ
A course gives the physician enough checkpoints to refine the plan instead of judging the skin from a single visit.
Is Phoenix Light the same as Thermage?
No. Phoenix Light is a local nickname for Clear + Brilliant Touch, a fractional laser. Thermage is a monopolar radiofrequency treatment used for a different planning goal.
Are both wavelengths always used together?
No. One wavelength or a staged plan may be selected according to the concern, skin condition and previous response.
Does it have no downtime?
Temporary redness, warmth, dryness, tightness or rough texture may occur. Many people can return to routine activities, but important events should still have an appropriate recovery margin.
Can it be combined with other treatments on the same day?
It depends on the treatment type, area, skin tolerance and expected response. Some plans work better when hydration or barrier care is sequenced before or after laser.
How many sessions are usually planned?
At Geo Aesthetic Clinic, a common rhythm is once monthly, with 3–6 sessions used as a treatment-course checkpoint. The physician may adjust the number and interval according to response.
Which clinics offer Clear + Brilliant Touch?
Consultation and treatment are available at Geo Aesthetic Clinic locations in Taipei, Hsinchu, Chiayi and Kaohsiung. Physician availability and appointment times should be confirmed when booking.

A clearer skin plan
Brighter is not a filter.
It is a plan the skin can keep building on.
Tell us whether the sticking point is texture, pores, superficial pigment or dryness. We will map the skin, choose the treatment job and turn each follow-up into the next useful decision.
