Blush Aesthetics is excited to offer this non-ablative laser treatment because it gives immediate results. Basically, it’s the perfect option for your first laser facial!
What happens after treatment with ClearSilk laser
After treatment, your skin will likely be a little red and sensitive, but otherwise, results are immediate. Most patients don’t experience much post-treatment discomfort at all.
How it Works
01. Consultation
An optional consultation can help us get to know you and your goals! We start with a health history, skin analysis, and discussion of your current skincare regimen.
02. Determine Treatment
From all of this information, we will determine your candidacy for laser treatment and recommend a customized plan to get you from where you are to where you want to be. ClearSilk can produce beautiful results on its own or in combination with other treatments!
03. Treatment
While you lay back and relax, your provider applies the ClearSilk device to your treatment area. It delivers pulses of energy beneath the surface of your skin to stimulate fibroblasts and trigger healing.
04. After Care
As with any light or laser therapy, after your treatment with ClearSilk laser in Toledo you'll want to avoid the sun. In most cases, you can apply makeup immediately after treatment, but your provider will ensure you know what to expect for photofacial after-care.
The Science Behind ClearSilk
Getting clear skin in a flash may seem like magic, but there’s science behind this unique laser.
What is laser skin resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing harnesses the power of light to improve your skin’s health. Our providers use these light waves to speed up your skin’s cellular turnover rate—how quickly it sheds and replaces old, damaged, and dead skin cells—for natural results you can see and feel.
Similar to how a jeweler polishes a diamond, our skin specialists gently remove the outermost layers of skin to reveal your inner glow. Plus, it ramps up collagen production to rebuild your skin, so that glow lasts. Our ClearSilk laser in Toledo is just one kind of laser skin resurfacing, which focuses on evening your complexion’s texture and pigmentation.
The Root of Redness
When met with what your body views as “threats,” your skin’s blood vessels dilate or widen to accommodate increased blood flow, leaving you flushed. A range of external factors, such as the sun and some skincare products, as well as internal factors, like stress and spicy foods, can trigger redness.
While redness from a mild sunburn or exercise resolves itself quickly, conditions like rosacea, eczema, and dermatitis cause your blood vessels to dilate more easily, making the redness chronic. ClearSilk diffuses redness by shrinking vessels back to a “normal” size, so you don’t have to worry about constantly touching up your concealer!
The Science Behind Scarring
Acne causes inflammation, which can leave lasting damage to your skin’s tissue. When the outermost layer of skin doesn’t heal properly, you may be left with indented acne scars, and some can remain red.
ClearSilk works beneath the surface of your skin to ramp up collagen production, allowing your skin to rebuild and smooth fibrous scar tissue. You don’t have to commit to invasive procedures to put the past behind you; ClearSilk provides a smooth path to smooth skin.
Evenness You Can See and Feel
From enlarged pores to fine lines, our ClearSilk laser in Toledo does it all. Skin cells produce melanin independently of one another, causing some spots to darken and others to remain the same color. Dry weather, dehydration, and aging can slow collagen production and weaken your skin’s barrier.
This makes it more difficult to “bounce” back from injuries or acne, leaving you with bumps or indentations. By enhancing the amount and quality of collagen your body produces, ClearSilk fortifies your skin’s frontline defenses to smooth its tone and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions About ClearSilk
Absolutely, ClearSilk is an effective treatment for any part of your body that you want to rejuvenate.
How many ClearSilk laser treatments you will need depends on your existing skin condition and the goals you want to meet. Results build over time with additional treatments, and many patients opt for an initial series of 3 to 6 treatments, but your ClearSilk provider will work with you to determine your unique treatment plan.
At Blush Aesthetics, a ClearSilk treatment is remarkably comfortable. While you’ll experience some warmth from the infrared rays, it should never feel hot or painful. Many patients compare the sensation to a relaxing hot stone massage! You may notice some tingling in more sensitive areas, such as around your eyes, but the built-in cooling system will keep you comfortable and maintain a safe skin temperature after every pulse.
While our ClearSilk laser in Toledo requires minimal preparation, there are a few steps you should take before your appointment to maximize your results, including:
- Avoid waxing and other irritating treatments in the area for 2 weeks
- Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment
- Protect your skin from the sun for at least 2 weeks
- Stop using harsh skincare products and exfoliants at least 3 days before treatment
- Thoroughly cleanse your skin and remove all products before your appointment
Don’t worry—your provider will go over all of these steps and answer any questions you have before your appointment.
Yes, ClearSilk is safe for all skin types. Powered by non-ablative wavelengths, this technology is far more gentle than traditional laser therapies. Ablative laser therapies work by removing the outermost layer of skin, which can be irritating for those with more sensitive skin. Our skin specialists often recommend ClearSilk for first-time laser patients, as the treatment and recovery are comfortable.
Yes! Uniquely, ClearSilk is effective for patients of all ages with all skin tones, ranging from Type I to Type VI on the Fitzpatrick scale. This technology works deeply within your skin rather than on the surface, minimizing the risks of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
Many other laser treatments pose skin irritation risks for patients with medium to dark skin tones, as the lasers treat pigmentation concerns by targeting the melanin in patients’ skin. Those technologies only work for patients with lighter skin tones, as melanin absorbs the light waves. ClearSilk uses longer infrared wavelengths to reach beyond the epidermis (where melanin lies) to grant all patients safe, noticeable improvements.
There’s no downtime from a ClearSilk treatment, but there are a few steps we recommend taking to ensure a smooth recovery. After your session, your skin may look and feel slightly sunburnt, but this should resolve itself within a few hours. It’s important to hydrate, both internally by drinking water and externally with moisturizers, to support the natural healing process.
There’s no need to worry about peeling like with a chemical peel, but it’s still important to avoid touching or picking at your skin until it’s fully recovered. In the meantime, remember to keep your skin protected from UV damage, extreme heat, and harsh products.
You can expect to see immediate improvements in your skin after using our ClearSilk laser in Toledo. However, your results will continue to improve over the following weeks, and with additional sessions, as your skin continues to produce more collagen and put it to use. Remember, the best results typically require a series of treatments spaced out over a few months, with less frequent maintenance sessions for long-term results.
