Sciton ClearSilk is a gentle, non-ablative laser treatment that improves overall skin tone, reduces redness, and restores a healthy, radiant glow without downtime. It is often referred to as a “lunchtime laser” because it is quick, comfortable, and requires no recovery period.
ClearSilk uses a 1064 nm wavelength to safely heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production while calming surface redness and improving overall skin quality.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, ClearSilk focuses on skin health and maintenance, making it ideal for:
- Clients wanting a “glow boost” before events
- Ongoing skin maintenance between more intensive laser treatments
- Sensitive or redness-prone skin types
- Early signs of aging and uneven tone
- Patients wanting a summer-safe treatment
Areas that can be treated
ClearSilk is safe for nearly all skin types and can be used on multiple areas, including:
- Full face
- Neck
- Chest (décolletage)
- Back
- Shoulders
- Scars including surgical scars
It is especially effective for clients with rosacea-prone skin, persistent redness, post-acne marks, or dull, uneven complexion.
What to expect during and after the treatment
During treatment:
ClearSilk is very comfortable and typically does not require numbing. Clients often describe the sensation as a warm, gentle heating of the skin. The treatment usually takes 15–30 minutes depending on the area.
Immediately after:
The skin may appear slightly flushed or pink, similar to a light blush, but this typically resolves within a few hours.
After treatment:
There is no peeling, no crusting, and no downtime. Clients can return immediately to normal activities, including applying makeup the same day if desired.
Results timeline:
- Immediate: subtle glow and refreshed appearance
- 1–2 weeks: reduction in redness and improved skin tone
- With a series: gradual improvement in collagen quality, texture, and overall skin clarity
ClearSilk is often used as part of a comprehensive skincare and laser treatment plan to maintain results from more intensive treatments like HALO or broadband light therapies, helping keep the skin consistently clear, calm, and luminous.
ClearV
Sciton ClearV is a targeted vascular laser designed to treat visible blood vessels and vascular lesions with precision and control. Using advanced 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser technology, ClearV safely delivers energy into unwanted vessels, causing them to collapse and gradually fade from view while preserving the surrounding skin.
ClearV is especially effective for facial and leg veins and vascular-related skin concerns, making it a powerful option for both cosmetic and medical-grade skin rejuvenation.
How it works
ClearV is a precision vascular laser that selectively targets hemoglobin within visible blood vessels. The laser energy is absorbed by the blood within the vessel, causing controlled heat that collapses the vessel wall. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs the treated vessel, leading to a clearer, more even complexion.
Areas that can be treated
ClearV is designed to treat both facial and body vascular concerns, including:
- Face (cheeks, nose, chin)
- Legs (spider veins and small visible vessels)
It is particularly effective for:
- Telangiectasia (small visible blood vessels)
- Spider veins
- Cherry angiomas, venous lakes and select benign vascular lesions
What clients can expect during and after the treatment
During treatment:
Clients typically feel a quick snapping or rubber-band sensation as the laser targets the vessel. A cooling system is used throughout treatment to enhance comfort and protect the skin. Treatment time varies depending on the size and number of areas being treated, but most sessions are relatively quick.
Immediately after:
The treated vessels may appear darker, grey, or temporarily more visible before fading. Mild redness and warmth in the surrounding skin are common and typically resolve within hours to a couple of days.
After treatment:
Some clients may experience mild swelling, and in certain cases, light bruising can occur, especially when treating larger or deeper vessels. This is temporary and resolves as the body naturally clears the treated vessels.
Results timeline:
- Immediate to a few days: initial vessel darkening or light blanching
- 2–4 weeks: gradual fading of treated vessels
Multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal clearance, depending on the severity and depth of vascular concerns.
What Is ClearSilk?
ClearSilk is a gentle, non-ablative laser treatment designed to refresh and revitalize your skin without downtime. Known as a “laser facial” or “lunchtime facial,” this advanced technology delivers gentle warming to the skin’s surface, stimulating the body’s natural repair process and promoting collagen production. Patients generally regard ClearSilk as a relaxing treatment that improves overall skin tone, reduces diffuse redness, minimizes dilated blood vessels, and smooths uneven skin texture.
Who Is a Candidate for ClearSilk?
ClearSilk is safe for a wide range of skin types, including tanned skin, making it a great year-round treatment regimen, yes it is even safe for use in the summer! Patients choose ClearSilk for its ability to address common concerns such as:
- Broken capillaries
- Sun damage
- Acne scars
- Redness in surgical scars
- Fine lines
- Uneven texture
It can effectively treat redness caused by dilated blood vessels or rosacea while improving the overall appearance of the skin. Because it’s a gentle rejuvenation method, most patients tolerate the procedure well.
ClearSilk Procedure
A ClearSilk laser facial is a quick, comfortable experience that feels more like a spa session than a medical procedure. During treatment, your provider will glide the ClearSilk laser handpiece across the skin, delivering gentle and consistent heat energy.
This warming effect triggers collagen production beneath the skin’s surface, helping to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, restore skin hydration, and promote a healthy complexion. The session typically lasts about 30 minutes and provides fast-acting results without downtime.
Cost
The cost of ClearSilk varies depending on the number of sessions needed and whether it’s combined with other skin treatments. At Pacific Plastic Surgery Group, we’ll provide a personalized treatment plan during your consultation, including a transparent cost breakdown.
ClearSilk Results and Recovery
Most patients notice an immediate healthy glow following their ClearSilk treatment, with skin looking brighter and more even. Improvements continue over time as collagen production increases and the body’s natural repair process works beneath the surface. Pacific Plastic Surgery Group will help you determine how many treatments are necessary to keep your skin hydrated and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sun exposure.
Recovery is minimal; patients may experience minor redness that subsides within hours. Post-treatment care is straightforward, involving basic hydration and sun protection. Since it’s a gentle and relaxing treatment, you can resume your normal activities immediately, including wearing makeup.
