Preparing For ClearSilk
To prepare for a ClearSilk treatment, patients should ensure their skin is clean and free from any makeup, lotions, or creams on the day of the appointment. It’s advisable to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds in the weeks leading up to the treatment, as well as any harsh exfoliants or skin treatments that may irritate the skin. Patients should also disclose any medications they are taking and any history of skin conditions to their provider during the initial consultation. Finally, wearing comfortable clothing and hydrating adequately before the appointment can contribute to a more comfortable experience.
The ClearSilk Treatment
During your ClearSilk treatment at Dr. Sarah Mess Plastic Surgery, our skilled technicians will ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure. The treatment duration varies based on the treated area, but most patients take about half an hour. Safety glasses or goggles will be provided to protect your eyes during the treatment.
The procedure begins with a thorough cleansing of the treatment area to remove impurities. Then, the laser handpiece is gently applied to deliver targeted laser energy. You may feel a warming sensation during the treatment, particularly in areas with inflammation. After the procedure, your skin may feel warm for roughly one hour as the laser’s effects subside.
ClearSilk Recovery
There’s no downtime associated with ClearSilk laser treatments. While some individuals may experience temporary redness or mild swelling, these effects typically resolve within a few hours. You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
