The combination of the ClearLift laser and Karisma collagen combines two approaches to skin rejuvenation: the laser targets texture, complexion and pigmentation, while Karisma stimulates collagen production in the dermis. Recovery is short, so the treatment fits easily into daily commitments.
ClearLift laser – lunchtime facelift
ClearLift laser, also known as the Hollywood Lunchtime Facelift, is a laser skin rejuvenation treatment. It is so called because it can be done during a lunch break in about 30 minutes, with no downtime.
How does the ClearLift laser work?
ClearLift uses Q-switch technology, which acts beneath the skin's surface without damaging the epidermis. In this way, it stimulates skin renewal, improves texture and firmness, and reduces the visibility of blemishes and shallower wrinkles. The treatment lasts about 30 to 60 minutes and is well tolerated, with only mild stinging and warmth.
Advantages of the ClearLift laser
Unlike treatment with a CO2 or Erbium laser, after ClearLift there is no flaking or prolonged redness, so you can return to your duties straight away. No anaesthesia is needed. It can be performed on most skin types, and for darker complexions the doctor adjusts the settings accordingly. You can find all the details about the ClearLift laser on our page about ClearLift laser.
What is Karisma Collagen?
Karisma RH Collagen is an injectable preparation containing recombinant human collagen, hyaluronic acid and carboxymethylcellulose, which stimulates the skin to produce its own collagen. It belongs to the group of collagen stimulators. Read more about the product itself in our article about Karisma RH collagen.
Combination of ClearLift laser and Karisma collagen
Why combine these two treatments?
The laser and Karisma work at different depths in the skin. ClearLift addresses surface imperfections such as blemishes, pores and uneven skin tone, while providing a mild tightening effect. Karisma works more deeply, gradually strengthening the collagen network. Consequently, when used together, they improve both the appearance and the structure of the skin, rather than just one.
Who is the combination suitable for?
For skin that has lost its firmness and radiance, and also has blemishes, enlarged pores or an uneven complexion. It is most commonly chosen after the age of thirty, when the first signs of ageing and sun damage go hand in hand. If the main problem is marked sagging or loss of volume, the doctor will suggest other treatments.
What problems do they solve?
- Loss of skin elasticity and firmness. ClearLift stimulates collagen production, and Karisma additionally firms the skin.
- Hyperpigmentation and blemishes. ClearLift targets pigment and dark spots, while Karisma improves skin texture.
- Dull-looking skin. ClearLift smooths the skin's surface, while hyaluronic acid from Karisma contributes to hydration.

Answers to frequently asked questions
What does the treatment involve?
The treatment starts with the laser, which feels like a mild stinging sensation and warmth. Then Karisma is injected using a fine needle or cannula, with numbing cream applied if necessary. The whole treatment takes about 75 minutes and afterwards you can return to your daily activities.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments depends on the condition of the skin. Most commonly, 2 to 3 treatments with Karisma are performed, and the same number of ClearLift treatments. The plan and the interval between treatments are determined by the doctor after a consultation.
Recovery
One of the biggest advantages of this combined treatment is the minimal recovery time. Following the procedure, it is possible to resume normal activities immediately. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and to regularly apply a high SPF to achieve optimal results.
Who is a good candidate?
The treatment is intended for individuals over 30 years of age who want skin refreshment and renewal without any recovery period. It is recommended for those who want to reduce wrinkles, improve skin firmness and texture, as well as treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
Contraindications
Although the treatment is safe for most patients, there are certain contraindications. Individuals with active skin infections, autoimmune diseases or oncological conditions should consult a doctor beforehand. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not undergo laser treatments. Karisma is not administered during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Contraindications for Karisma are described in our article about Karisma RH collagen.
