ClearSilk Laser Facial in Seattle

Redness that lingers, pores that look larger than they used to and skin that has lost its glow, with no time to hide while you heal. ClearSilk is a gentle 1064 nm laser that warms the deeper layers of your skin to support collagen, calm redness and refine pores, with no downtime. ClearSilk books on its own, or as an optional part of our BBL Photofacial at no additional charge. Every ClearSilk plan starts with a Skinthropology exam, so your settings are chosen for your skin.

  • Your schedule: You want results with no downtime.

  • Not for right now: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a tan, sunburn or recent self tanner, an active infection or cold sore in the area, or have taken isotretinoin recently. Your Skinthropology exam covers everything else.

  • Gentle 1064 nm heat: Rapid, low energy pulses gently warm the deeper layers of your skin, which supports new collagen and calms visible redness.

  • No gels, no downtime: We treat clean, dry skin and most clients go straight back to their day.

  • Comfort Program: Topical numbing, cold air cooling during treatment, self administered nitrous oxide and a heated bed with pillowtop.

  • Post procedure: Your skin therapist builds your post procedure routine with you before you leave.

  • What you will see: A soft glow right away. Redness, pores and texture keep improving across your series.

  • Collagen without downtime: In a study of gentle 1064 nm laser heating for facial lines, improvement peaked two months after a three session series and was still visible at six months, with maintenance sessions keeping results going (Trelles et al., Facial Plastic Surgery, 2005).

  • Calmer, smoother skin: Using 3D imaging, a 2021 study found microsecond 1064 nm treatment reduced facial redness by 18 percent and wrinkle surface area by 19.5 percent, with only mild, short lived side effects (Akerman et al., Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021).

  • Skinthropology exam first: Required before every laser and light treatment at Sapien. We review your routine, goals, history and lifestyle, image your skin with VISIA, and build your treatment plan and home routine with you. The fee is credited toward anything you book or buy that same day.

  • Settings made for you: Your skin therapist sets the energy and passes for your skin and concern, and adjusts them session by session.

  • Expert advice over general advice: What your skin needs before and after a light treatment depends on your skin. Sapien guarantees its products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists.
