Calm the look of redness
For visible redness, ClearSilk directs gentle laser heat toward small vessels beneath the surface, helping reduce the appearance of diffuse redness and rosacea while leaving the skin's surface intact.

All skin typesYear-round treatment
One approachable treatment. More than one skin concern.
ClearSilk gently warms beneath the skin's surface, stimulating fibroblast activity and the body's natural repair process. Over time, this can support skin that looks healthier, more even, and more refreshed.
Refine tone and texture
ClearSilk can help improve the appearance of uneven pigment, dullness, acne scars, and rough texture without peeling.
Build a fresher look over time
Fine lines and radiance may improve gradually as results build. What you notice and when depends on your skin and goals.

Clear answers before you book.
Does ClearSilk hurt?
ClearSilk is designed to be comfortable and does not require numbing. The treatment is often described as warm and comfortable.
Is there downtime, and can I wear makeup afterward?
ClearSilk is a no-downtime treatment, so you can return to normal activities immediately and generally reapply makeup right away. Follow the specific sunscreen and aftercare instructions Lakes provides.
Is ClearSilk appropriate for darker skin tones?
ClearSilk is designed for all skin types, including darker skin tones, and can be performed year-round.
What areas can ClearSilk treat?
ClearSilk can be used on the face, neck, décolleté, and other areas of the body. Ask the Lakes team which areas are appropriate for your goals.
Can ClearSilk help with active acne or acne scars?
ClearSilk can address active acne as well as the appearance of acne scars, but they are different concerns and may call for different treatment plans. The Lakes team can help determine whether ClearSilk is an appropriate option for your skin and goals.
How quickly will I see a result?
Some patients may notice a subtle, refreshed look after the first treatment. Results can continue to build over time, and individual results vary.
How many ClearSilk treatments will I need?
A typical plan may include 4 to 6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. The right plan depends on your skin and goals.
ClearSilk vs. Laser Genesis: What's the difference?
ClearSilk and Laser Genesis are similar, but they are not the same branded treatment. Both use non-ablative 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser energy to gently heat the skin beneath the surface. ClearSilk is made by Sciton, while Laser Genesis is made by Cutera. Because Lakes Dermatology offers both, the team can help determine which treatment better fits your skin and goals.
