How It Works

WHAT IS CLEARLIFT LASER TREATMENT?

Many reasons contribute to skin appearing older. As the facial skin is the most exposed to external factors, the effects of aging are seen the most on the face. As the skin matures it loses collagen -the most important protein that keeps the skin firm, glowing and young-looking. When the production of collagen decreases, fine lines and wrinkles start to appear and the face loses its volume and elasticity.

ClearLift laser treatment is an excellent choice for fighting against the signs of aging. It is a brilliant alternative to chemical peels or microneedling.    

It uses Q 1064 switched energy which makes it capable of reaching the deepest layers of the skin – up to 3mm. The imperfections are targeted and the healing process and skin repair happen under the intact epidermis. The laser beam can reach various depths of the skin, all depending on the need. It causes micro-injuries in superficial or deeper layers. When these micro-injuries are caused, the skin starts to produce new and healthy collagen that heals them. This is all a natural response. When new collagen is built up the skin starts to look younger and in the end, it looks rejuvenated and naturally enhanced.

The ClearLift laser treatment also creates a photoacoustic effect that is responsible for breaking down the pigment from capillaries. It makes the skin fresh and evenly toned again.

WHAT MAKES CLEARLIFT LASER TREATMENT SPECIAL?

When it comes to skin resurfacing treatments, they usually utilize two different types of lasers – ablative and non-ablative ones. Ablative lasers work by removing layers of the skin and revealing the new, fresh skin underneath. Ablative laser treatments are very effective but can be uncomfortable and need a recovery period.

ClearLift treats the skin in a non-ablative way to stimulate collagen renewal and tightening of the tissues underneath, without damaging the top layer of the skin. This fact is appealing to patients who don’t want to spend a lot of time on recovery. The treatment is straightforward and fast and requires no downtime. It can be used almost on every area of the face including the sensitive ones such as the areas underneath the eyes and nasal folds. 

WHAT CAN CLEARLIFT TREATMENT ADDRESS?

ClearLift skin rejuvenation treatment is usually performed on: 

  •     Face
  •     Neck
  •     Décolletage
  •     Hands

The unique benefit of ClearLift laser treatment is that it can address facial areas that are sensitive to other anti-aging treatments. These areas include around the eyes, mouth and others. This treatment is gentle but powerful and provides noticeable results.

ClearLift treatment remodels and gently lifts the skin and treats various skin imperfections. It is especially effective in: 

  •     Reducing  lines and wrinkles
  •     Improving hyperpigmentation
  •     Making the skin firmer
  •     Decreasing pores
  •     Improving skin laxity
  •     Reducing acne scars

ClearLift laser treatment is a brilliant option for addressing pigmentation issues like sun damage or melasma. Melasma is especially difficult to treat because it is more stimulated by heat. However, this treatment utilizes acoustic soundwaves that break down the pigment and it doesn’t use heat.

BENEFITS OF CLEARLIFT LASER TREATMENT

There are a lot of reasons why Lucia’s patients decide to try out ClearLift laser treatment. One of the biggest benefits of this treatment is that it noticeably improves skin conditions. It smooths out the wrinkles and makes the skin plumper and younger-looking.  

Even though the patients need more treatment sessions to achieve the best results, some patients see improvements after 2-3 sessions. The improvements gradually continue to be noticed as the patient’s body produces more and more collagen. This fact is also something that makes this treatment special – it encourages the body to renew itself on its own. The end result of this process are natural-looking results without surgery, downtime and risks. The patients end up looking like they really take good care of their skin.  

Generally, ClearLift laser treatment offers a lot to the patients: 

  •     It is a non-ablative treatment -it doesn’t damage the top layer of the skin
  •     It is fast and can be fitted into a lunch break
  •     It is comfortable and provokes no pain
  •     The patients can continue with their everyday routine right after the treatment.
  •     The treatment doesn’t leave the skin looking red or swollen for a long time 

ClearLift helps the patients to feel great about themselves. Their skin is fresh, smooth and younger-looking. Any issues with hyperpigmentation can be improved. Next to the face and the neck the results are also significantly visible on the patients’ hands – another area that reveals the age. But with this treatment, Lucia’s patients turn back the time and feel great about their restored, youthful-looking and healthy skin again.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

  • WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR CLEARLIFT LASER TREATMENT?

    The ClearLift laser treatment is suitable for patients who desire to achieve a youthful appearance of their skin but wish to avoid needles, surgical intervention or any painful treatments in general.

    The treatment is suitable for both men and women, for all skin types and for patients of any age.

  • WHO SHOULD AVOID CLEARLIFT LASER TREATMENT?

    Patients with tanned skin are not good candidates for this treatment. Also, if patients have current herpes, some other infections or vitiligo they should avoid this treatment. The same goes for patients who are under Roaccutane treatment or other photosensitive medications and for pregnant or breastfeeding ladies.

  • WHAT DOES CLEARLIFT LASER TREATMENT INVOLVE?

    When the patient arrives at Lucia Clinic, first he/she is consulted with the laser therapist. The therapist examines the patient’s skin to determine if the patient is a good candidate for ClearLift treatment.

    Next, the patient and the therapist discuss the patient’s skin concerns and goals he/she wishes to achieve with the treatment.

    Finally, the therapist creates a treatment protocol that will address the patient’s specific skin issues. The protocol includes the number of sessions, parameters, depth and the volume of the energy that will be emitted during the ClearLift laser treatment.

    Before the treatment starts, the therapist cleans the patient’s face to remove makeup and other impurities. Then the patient is given special protective eyewear. There is no necessity for numbing cream because the treatment is completely pain-free.

    When the treatment starts, the therapist slowly glides the treatment applicator’s tip over the targeted area and emits the short laser pulses. The patient may only feel a mild tingling sensation when the applicator releases the laser impulse.

    During the treatment, the therapist uses a fractional Q-switched 1064 laser that emits a short but powerful burst of light. The energy travels under the epidermis and causes controlled micro-wounds in the dermis. This way the effects of this treatment leave the epidermis unharmed. When the healing process of the wounds starts, the new collagen is stimulated to grow and the tissue begins to tighten.

  • HOW LONG DOES THE CLEARLIFT TREATMENT TAKE?

    One of the biggest advantages of ClearLift laser treatment is that a session can be quickly finished. Usually, it lasts between 20 and 30 minutes.

  • HOW MANY TREATMENT SESSIONS ARE NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS?

    It all depends on the overall state of the patient’s skin. Some patients can see the initial results after the very first session. Generally, it is recommended to have from 4 to 6 treatment sessions every 2 to 4weeks. The exact number of sessions is determined during the initial consultation with the therapist.

    The patient may decide to have additional touch-up treatments once or twice a year just to maintain the results and to continue with the production of collagen and prevent the appearance of aging signs.

  • IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER THE CLEARLIFT TREATMENT?

    After the treatment, the skin is shiny and brighter. The patient may return to his/her normal daily activities as there is no downtime required. There is no downtime because the skin is remodeling from the inside out. Applying high SPF is all that is necessary.

    Possible side effects may include mild redness and swelling but these sensitivities should resolve in the first 24 hours post-treatment.

    There are some recommendations that the patient can follow in order to get the best out of the treatment like avoiding extended sun exposure for 14 days.

  • WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF CLEARLIFT LASER TREATMENT?

    Every patient is different so the results are different also. Some patients can see the result after the first treatment session. Others gradually notice the skin improvements due to collagen boosting in 3 to 6 months. The results include tightening, smoothing and lifting of the skin.

    After the full treatment course, the results can last up to 24 months, all depending on the patient's lifestyle.

  • CAN CLEARLIFT LASER TREATMENT BE COMBINED WITH OTHER AESTHETIC PROCEDURES?

    Yes. The treatment can effectively be combined with other procedures like AFT, Pixel RF, Accent Prime or injectable treatments like Mesotherapy, PRP, Botox or Dermal Fillers. It can also be done along with skin-tightening treatments that use radiofrequency. If the patient decides to combine ClearLift treatment with other procedures he/she can discuss it with the therapist.
