What to Know

Treatment Details

Clear Silk uses a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser that gently heats the dermis to trigger your skin's natural renewal response. Unlike ablative lasers, there's no surface removal — just deep thermal stimulation that produces steady, progressive improvement over time. The treatment typically takes 20–30 minutes for a full face. Patients feel a warm, gentle prickling sensation. Immediately after treatment, you may notice a subtle flush that resolves within a few hours, leaving skin looking refreshed and slightly glowing. Results build with each session. We typically recommend starting with monthly treatments, especially when paired with Glacial Rx as our signature "Clear Silk + Glacial" monthly facial package. Clear Silk is also excellent for: • Active acne management (reduces oil glands, kills bacteria) • Rosacea maintenance • Pre-event skin preparation • Year-round maintenance between more intensive treatments like Halo or BBL HERO

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is Clear Silk in Durango?

$350 per month in our Clear Silk + Glacial Rx monthly protocol. See our price list for current pricing.

Is there downtime?

No. A subtle flush can appear and usually fades within hours.

How is Clear Silk different from BBL?

BBL targets specific pigment and vessels using broad-spectrum light, while Clear Silk uses a focused laser wavelength to deliver deep thermal energy. They work together or independently.

How often should I have Clear Silk?

Most patients start with monthly sessions to build results, then move to quarterly maintenance. Our monthly package pairs Clear Silk with Glacial Rx.

Is there any preparation required?

Minimal preparation is needed. Avoid tanning 2 weeks before treatment. No topical acids for 1–2 days prior. Come with clean skin.

When will I see results?

Many patients notice an immediate glow after treatment. Longer-term improvements in texture, redness, and pore size develop over a series of 3–6 monthly sessions.
