ClearSilk® Laser Treatment
ClearSilk® is a quick facial-like treatment that can be done any time of year with no downtime. All skin types can be safely treated with this laser. It utilizes non-invasive, non-ablative laser technology delivering micro pulses of laser energy to the skin to safely, discreetly, and effectively treat to diffuse redness, rosacea, acne, fine lines, wrinkles, the appearance of large pores, uneven scar reduction, and scars. The result is a glowing complexion that keeps improving with each treatment. We typically recommend 4-6 treatments for best results.
HOW TO PREPARE
- Avoid sun exposure and self-tanning products for at least two weeks before treatment.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants or skin care products that could irritate your skin.
- Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least a week before your treatment, including aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil.
* Important note: laser services cannot be performed on patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic. Youwill experience a gentle warming of your skin during the procedure as the laser handpiece is moved back and forth above your skin.
HOW TO CARE
- Skin may appear red & swollen & have a mild sunburn sensation. This is a normal reaction. It can last from a few hours to days after treatment. Applying a cold compress or ice pack will help minimize swelling. This is typically only needed within the first 72 hours after the treatment.
- Avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 daily to avoid blistering, scarring, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation.
- Use a soft washcloth and towels to avoid any scrubbing.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating immediately after treatment.
- Rarely a blister can form up to 48 hours after treatment. An antibiotic cream or ointment can be used. Other short-term effects include bruising, superficial crusting, and discomfort.
