At Alpenglow Aesthetics, we utilize the Alma Harmony ClearSkin to treat acne at its source without the harsh side effects of traditional medications. This innovative laser technology provides a clear path to healthy skin while maintaining our signature boutique experience.
We offer ClearSkin because we believe everyone deserves the confidence that comes with a clear, healthy complexion. As a medical practice first, we prioritize clinical solutions that treat the underlying causes of acne, namely, excess sebum and bacteria, rather than just the surface symptoms. Our medical providers utilize this advanced Er:Glass laser to provide a sophisticated alternative for those struggling with breakouts or textured skin. In our welcoming Whitefish suite, we combine this high-tech approach with medical-grade protocols to help you restore your skin's natural balance.
Non-ablative 1540 nm Erbium:Glass Laser with Vacuum Technology.
Minimal to zero; some temporary redness that typically fades within a few hours.
Reduced inflammation and clearer pores visible quickly; long-term texture improvement over a series.
A targeted session typically takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Active acne, oily skin, enlarged pores, and diminished acne scarring.
Your journey toward clearer skin begins with a detailed clinical assessment of your current skin condition. During the session, you will relax in our boutique suite as the medical provider glides the ClearSkin handpiece over the target areas.
You will feel a gentle vacuum sensation followed by a cooling effect and a brief pulse of warmth. It is a very tolerable experience that requires no numbing. Because our team works collaboratively, we often pair this treatment with other wellness protocols to ensure your skin is supported from every angle.
ClearSkin is most commonly used to treat the face, where acne is often most persistent. However, it is also highly effective for treating "bacne" (acne on the back) and congestion on the shoulders or chest.
Common treatable concerns include:
The primary benefit of ClearSkin is its ability to provide clinical results without the systemic side effects of oral medications. It is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing acne that doesn't require the downtime of aggressive chemical peels.
By choosing ClearSkin at Alpenglow, you are opting for a treatment that actually improves the quality of your skin while it heals. The laser stimulates new collagen, so while your acne clears, your skin becomes smoother and more resilient. It is an innovative, understated solution that allows our Whitefish patients to maintain an active lifestyle while working toward their skin goals.
If you struggle with persistent breakouts, oily skin, or the lingering texture of acne scars, ClearSkin is likely an excellent fit. It is safe for all skin types and can be used on active inflammatory acne, which sets it apart from many other resurfacing lasers. During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin to ensure ClearSkin is the best tool for your specific concerns, often integrating it with a ZO Skin Health regimen for maximum efficacy.
Recovery from ClearSkin is seamless. Immediately following the treatment, your skin may appear slightly flushed, similar to a healthy glow after a workout. This typically subsides within a few hours. There is no peeling or crusting, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately. We recommend avoiding harsh exfoliants for 24 hours and, as always, being diligent with your medical-grade SPF to protect your clearing skin.
Many patients notice a reduction in inflammation and a cleaner feel to their skin within a few days of their first session. However, because we are treating acne at the source and stimulating collagen, the most significant results appear over a series of treatments.
A typical protocol consists of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Once the active acne is under control, the results can be long-lasting, especially when maintained with proper skincare. We often see a permanent improvement in skin texture and pore size, helping you maintain your everyday confidence for the long haul.

Most patients find the ClearSkin treatment very comfortable. The integrated cooling system protects the skin, while the vacuum sensation feels like a gentle massage. No topical numbing is required.
We generally require patients to be off Accutane for at least six months before beginning laser treatments. We can discuss alternative ways to support your skin in the meantime during your consultation.
For active acne and scarring, a series of 4 to 6 treatments is standard. We will customize a plan based on the severity of your congestion and your skin’s response.
ClearSkin is specifically designed for acne, oil, and texture using a vacuum-integrated laser. ClearLift is a non-ablative "facelift" laser focused on deep tightening and fine lines.
