Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. This condition is caused by dilated capillaries, resulting in an appearance of general redness, not discrete, well-defined vessels. The most commonly affected areas are the nose, forehead, and cheeks. Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea and it can be hereditary. ClearSilk will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.

ClearSilk patients report excellent results over their entire faces and necks. Additionally, practitioners may suggest this therapy to diminish recent scars on other parts of the body.

The treatment results are often subtle but will improve with continuous treatments. On average, you may require four to six treatments in order to achieve optimal results. Every patient’s condition and needs vary. For more information about your expected results or the number of treatments necessary, consult your physician.

Over the course of four to six treatments, ClearSilk™ can help restore the skin’s youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a more even, healthy complexion as the appearance of large pores is reduced, and minor imperfections are diminished. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.

Before the actual ClearSilk™ treatment, you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizer and, in some cases, you may be asked to shave the area to be treated. You will not need gel, anesthetic cream or ice prior to treatment. Your physician will review and assist with all pre-treatment requirements.

Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic. You will experience a gentle warming of your skin during the procedure as the laser handpiece is moved back and forth about 1/2 inches above your skin.

No, there is no downtime with the ClearSilk™ treatment. You can resume your normal activities immediately. It is important to follow your physician’s instructions. You may be given some skincare products and instructions on how to use them. Your skin will be sensitive to Ultraviolet light, and you must avoid direct sun exposure. You need to fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.

Although most patients report few if any side effects, the most common is a slight redness that disappears within a few hours of treatment. Consult your physician for complete information about the benefits and risks of treatment.
