What are the benefits for laser hair removal over other methods of hair removal?
Unlike shaving, waxing, depilatories and plucking, laser hair removal provides a long-term growth delay and permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal is fast and effective. Where electrolysis treats a single hair at a time, laser hair removal can cover large areas rapidly.
What does laser hair removal feel like?
Laser hair removal is typically a very tolerable procedure. The procedure is often likened to a rubber band snapping on your skin.
How long does a treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the area to be treated. Typically, laser hair removal can take between 20 minutes and an hour. The most commonly treated areas such as bikini line, upper lip, chin or underarms typically require less than 20 minutes for treatment.
How does laser hair removal work?
The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin pigment found in the hair follicle and is converted to heat. This heat injures the hair follicle, preventing it from producing hair.
Who can be treated?
Almost anyone can have laser hair removal. Please contact our office for a free consultation.
What is CLEARSCAN?
CLEARSCAN contains an infrared laser that can
selectively target microstructures such as hair
follicles. It is very effective for lighter skin types and,
because of the relatively low absorption of this light
by melanin, it is the best choice when treating darker
skin types. Additionally, the
ability to safely treat sun-tanned
skin makes this the treatment of
choice for active individuals.
Can all skin colors be
treated?
Yes, all skin types I through VI
can be treated. Skin Type I is very fair, always burns,
never tans (usually blonde hair and blue eyes). Skin
Type VI never burns (dark skin, dark hair and eyes).
Can tanned skin be treated?
Tanned skin can be treated safely, but always inform
your physician if you have been tanning, using
tanning products, or exposed to the sun within the
last three weeks. He will adjust your treatment
regimen accordingly to give you the safest, most
effective experience.
What happens during hair removal
treatment?
Your physician will discuss the treatment with you
and decide if you need a topical anesthetic cream.
The area of your skin that is to be treated will be
scanned with laser light from the CLEARSCAN system.
Treatment time will depend upon the area to be
treated. A system for cooling your skin will be used
to remove heat as it leaves the follicles and should
ensure a comfortable treatment. However, since the
sensation varies from individual to individual,
a topical anesthesia can be provided. Let your
physician know if you are very sensitive.
How does it work?
The CLEARSCAN laser selectively targets your hair
follicles and heats them with infrared energy.
Unlike other processes the laser beam treats many
hairs at once, making
treatment of large areas
practical. The CLEARSCAN
employs a unique computerguided
scanning system that
automates the treatment,
ensuring that your skin is
rapidly and evenly treated.
The computer sets the parameters and places the
beam in an optimum pattern for your skin to ensure
a safe, fast, effective and gentle treatment.
What should I expect
after treatment?
Some redness and slight swelling
may be present in the area that
has been treated; however, this
should subside within a few hours.
If any prolonged redness or swelling occurs
consult your physician. Keep the treated area clean,
use at least SPF 15 sunscreen when outdoors, and
follow physician instructions.
How many treatments will I need?
You may need to be treated from 3 to 5 times at
intervals of 3 to 8 weeks. There are three phases of
hair growth – anagen, catagen, and telogen. Only
hairs in the active growth phase, anagen, can be
successfully treated.
Is there a risk of complications?
Temporary pigmentation changes are possible but
seldom occur. Always discuss your concerns with
your physician prior to your treatment.
Can in-grown hair be treated?
The infrared energy delivered by CLEARSCAN can
be used to remove all types of hair. Sometimes
“shaving bumps” can cover a follicle, but the
penetrating light of the CLEARSCAN can still be
safely used.
