Laser Treatments
ClearSilk
ClearSilk is a laser treatment by Sciton that uses a 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength to warm the skin gradually and evenly, with built-in temperature sensing to help keep heating within a controlled range. It is non-ablative, meaning the skin surface is not removed. It is used for diffuse redness and flushing, the look of rosacea, uneven texture and as a maintenance treatment for overall skin quality, and the wavelength can be used across a wide range of skin tones with appropriate settings. Changes are usually gradual and subtle and build over a series. It does not cure rosacea, which is a chronic condition that also needs medical management. Suitability is decided after assessment by Dr. Areej Albisher, and results vary.

What to expect, recovery and risks
Treatment usually feels warm and takes under half an hour, and most people can return to daily activities immediately. Mild redness may last a few hours. Although the risk is lower than with more aggressive lasers, burns, blistering and pigment changes are possible, especially with recent sun exposure. A series of sessions a few weeks apart is common, sometimes with periodic maintenance.
Common questions
Is there downtime after ClearSilk?
Usually very little. Mild redness may be present for a few hours, and normal activities can usually continue the same day.
Will it cure my rosacea?
No. It may help with the look of redness, but rosacea is a chronic condition and is usually managed with skincare and, where needed, prescribed treatment as well.
How is it different from BBL HEROic?
ClearSilk is a single-wavelength laser that gently heats the skin, while BBL uses broadband light that targets pigment and vessels. They are sometimes combined.
