What is Sciton Clearscan YAG Laser?
This unique laser uses a wavelength of light to selectively heat different sizes of broken blood vessels at different depths below the skin’s surface with excellent results. Our experienced providers treat veins and vessels on the face and body with pinpoint control.
The Sciton ClearScan YAG is a medical-grade laser that uses a specific wavelength of light to selectively heat and treat broken blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface. Unlike other laser systems, ClearScan YAG can target vessels at various depths and sizes, making it ideal for treating facial spider veins, leg veins, and vascular lesions. Its advanced cooling system keeps the surrounding tissue safe and comfortable during treatment, while our experienced providers deliver precise, controlled results.
How Does it Work?
The non-invasive laser energy is absorbed by the blood within the vessel. Then heat energy coagulates the blood and the vessel collapses, reducing and converts to heat energy. Then the blood coagulates and the vessel collapses, reducing the appearance of veins and vessels on the skin. Prior to treatment the area is assessed for the type of vein or condition being treated, and its location on your body. Then a clear gel is placed on the site to be treated. This helps focus the light energy and cool the skin. You may only feel a sting or a sharp pinch during treatment.
What Are the Benefits?
- Diminishes veins and vascular lesions
