ClearLift Laser in NYC

Gentle Rejuvenation with Powerful Results

ClearLift is a revolutionary non-ablative laser treatment that rejuvenates the skin without discomfort or downtime. Known as the “lunchtime facelift,” ClearLift uses fractional Q-switched laser technology to stimulate collagen production deep within the dermis, improving fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and skin laxity—without damaging the skin’s surface. At our NYC practice, Dr. Robert Schwarcz and Aesthetician Silvana Mos perform ClearLift treatments with expert precision, helping patients achieve smoother, firmer, more radiant skin in as little as 30 minutes.

Whether you're just beginning your anti-aging journey or want to enhance other treatments, ClearLift offers a safe and effective solution for long-term skin health.

What is ClearLift?

ClearLift is a non-ablative fractional laser that delivers controlled laser energy deep beneath the skin’s surface. Unlike traditional resurfacing lasers, ClearLift does not remove the top layer of skin. Instead, it penetrates through the epidermis to stimulate collagen and elastin from within, leading to gradual yet noticeable improvements in tone, texture, and tightness.

ClearLift is effective for treating:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Mild to moderate skin laxity

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Early signs of sun damage

• Enlarged pores

• Pigmentation and redness

Treatments are gentle, comfortable, and safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones—a unique benefit in the world of laser aesthetics.

Who Is a Good Candidate for ClearLift?

You may be an excellent candidate for ClearLift laser in NYC if you:

• Are noticing early signs of aging like fine lines or mild sagging

• Want skin rejuvenation without pain, peeling, or downtime

• Are preparing for an event and want a quick skin refresh

• Have sensitive or darker skin not suited for more aggressive lasers

• Are seeking a maintenance treatment to support long-term skin health

This treatment is ideal for anyone looking to tighten, brighten, and smooth the skin without missing a beat in their day-to-day routine.

Who Should Avoid ClearLift?

ClearLift may not be appropriate if you:

• Have active acne, rashes, or open wounds in the treatment area

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Are currently on isotretinoin (Accutane)

• Have unrealistic expectations about the results

During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz or Silvana Mos will evaluate your skin and determine if ClearLift is the best option—or if a different treatment might serve you better.

How to Prepare for ClearLift Laser

To maximize your results:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks prior

• Stop using retinoids or other exfoliating products 3–5 days before treatment

• Arrive with clean skin—no makeup, lotions, or SPF

• Stay hydrated and follow any specific instructions provided by your provider

There’s no major prep needed, making ClearLift an easy treatment to fit into your schedule.

What to Expect During Treatment

ClearLift sessions are quick and comfortable, typically taking 20–30 minutes depending on the area treated. No numbing is required.

Here’s what happens:

• Before: Your skin is cleansed and prepped

• During: The laser handpiece is gently glided over the skin. Most patients feel a light warmth or a mild tapping sensation

• After: There is no redness, swelling, or downtime—you can apply makeup immediately and return to work or social events

You may start to notice improved texture and glow after just one treatment, with optimal results seen after a series of 3–5 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

Recovery and Aftercare

ClearLift requires no downtime, but here are a few guidelines to follow post-treatment:

• Avoid direct sun exposure for a few days and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen

• Keep the skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer

• Avoid harsh exfoliants or active skincare for 2–3 days

• No sauna, steam, or intense workouts for 24 hours

Your skin will continue to improve as collagen production increases over the following weeks.

Your Results

ClearLift delivers gradual, cumulative results that include:

• Smoother, tighter skin

• Brighter, more even skin tone

• Minimized pores and fine lines

• A subtle lifting effect, especially around the eyes and jawline

Best of all, results look natural, never overdone—just a fresher, more youthful version of you.

Complementary Treatments

ClearLift pairs beautifully with:

• Morpheus8: For deeper skin tightening and contouring

• BBL Laser: To target pigmentation, redness, and sun damage

• CO2 Laser: For more dramatic resurfacing (ideal as a follow-up months later)

• Facial Fat Transfer: To restore volume for a fuller, more youthful appearance

Dr. Schwarcz and Silvana will design a customized treatment plan based on your goals.

Alternatives to ClearLift

For patients seeking more or less intensity, consider:

• Moxi Laser: Great for texture and tone with very minimal downtime

• Chemical Peels: A lighter resurfacing option that exfoliates and brightens

• CO2 Laser: A more intensive resurfacing treatment for advanced signs of aging

Your provider will help you decide what’s best based on your skin type, goals, and downtime tolerance.
