ClearLift
What ClearLift Does
ClearLift is a Q-switched Nd:YAG applicator on the Alma Harmony platform that works beneath the surface of the skin. Rapid nanosecond pulses pass through the outer layer without damaging it and deliver energy into the dermis, where they trigger the body's repair response and new collagen production.
Because the skin's surface stays intact, there is no peeling, no visible wound, and no recovery period. That combination is why ClearLift is often described as a lunchtime laser lift, and why it can treat areas that are difficult to address with more aggressive resurfacing, including the delicate skin around the eyes.
ClearLift is used to address fine lines, uneven tone, dullness, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and early loss of firmness. It can also be helpful for skin that simply looks tired, giving it a fresher and more even appearance without the recovery time that more aggressive lasers require.
At Forbes Integrative Medicine, ClearLift treatments are performed personally by Dr. Forbes. She will look at your skin, your goals, and your schedule, then recommend a plan that fits. For many patients in Phoenix, the appeal is simple: steady, natural looking improvement that does not require time away from work or family.
Your ClearLift Session
Treatment takes roughly fifteen to thirty minutes depending on the area. Most patients describe a light snapping sensation and mild warmth, and numbing is generally not required. The face, neck, and decolletage are the most commonly treated areas.
Mild redness may last a few hours. Makeup and normal activity can usually resume the same day. A series of three to five sessions spaced three to four weeks apart is typical, with results continuing to develop as collagen rebuilds.
Before treatment, your skin is cleansed and protective eyewear is provided. The applicator is moved across the treatment area in a series of passes, and most patients find the sensation very manageable. You can drive yourself home and return to your usual routine right away.
Daily sunscreen is important throughout your series and after it, since protecting new collagen helps the results last. Some patients notice a fresher look within days, while firmness and texture continue to improve over the following weeks and months. Occasional maintenance sessions can help preserve what you have built.
ClearLift addresses several signs of aging at once without taking you out of your week.
