Can ClearSilk be used to minimize the appearance of strawberry skin from keratosis pilaris in the arms and legs?

Question

I have keratosis pilaris on my arms and legs and have struggled to find a treatment option that will minimize its appearance. Would this procedure be effective in minimizing or completely removing strawberry skin?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

ClearSilk is a non-invasive laser treatment primarily designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. While it is not specifically targeted at treating keratosis pilaris (KP), it can help reduce redness and improve the overall texture of the skin, which may help in minimizing the appearance of KP, often referred to as "strawberry skin."

However, the effectiveness of ClearSilk for treating keratosis pilaris varies from person to person. For some individuals, combining laser treatments with a regular skincare routine that includes exfoliation and moisturizing may yield better results. It's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition and to assess whether ClearSilk is appropriate for your needs. Dr. Anna Chacon, a dermatologist, can provide personalized advice and treatment options based on your skin type and condition.
