Every case is documented by dermatologist-trained SOM providers. ClearSilk calms redness and brightens tone, building over a short series of sessions. These cases include combined treatments; results are not attributable to ClearSilk alone.
ClearSilk is a non-ablative 1064nm laser facial that gently warms the skin. That warmth calms redness, supports collagen, and refines tone and texture, leaving a healthy glow, without removing any surface skin.
Because it is gentle and non-ablative, ClearSilk has zero downtime and is safe for most skin tones, including deeper skin. It is a lunchtime-friendly treatment, best in a short series and great for maintenance.

ClearSilk works best as a series, often three to six sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with maintenance as needed. A dermatologist-trained SOM provider confirms your plan in consultation.
Many patients resume ordinary activities soon after ClearSilk, but temporary redness, warmth, or swelling can occur. Recovery varies with the settings and skin response, and worsening pain or blistering should be reported promptly.
It feels like a warm, relaxing facial. Most patients find it soothing, with no numbing needed.
Redness, flushing, dull tone, and early texture. It boosts glow and supports collagen, but is not for deep wrinkles or scars.
ClearSilk may be considered for several skin tones, but laser settings and pigment history still matter. A skin assessment is needed because burns and pigment changes remain possible, particularly with recent sun exposure or an unsuitable protocol.
Glow appears within days and builds across the series, with redness easing over time.
