Hair Removal

At the Vayda Cosmetic Laser Center, we use the Profile Clearscan Infrared Laser, bringing a new approach to laser hair removal.

The Clearscan laser selectively targets hair follicles and heats them with infrared energy. Unlike other methods, the Clearscan laser beam treats many hairs at once, making it possible to treat large areas at once.

Clearscan utilizes a unique computer-guided scanning system that automates the process, ensuring a rapid, effective, and safe treatment.
Treatable Skin Types

Clearscan contains an infrared laser that is very effective on lighter skin types. Because of the relatively low absorption of this light by melanin, Clearscan is also the best choice for treating darker skin types. The Clearscan laser can treat all skin types I through VI. Skin type I is very fair, always burns, and never tans (typically blonde hair and blue eyes). Skin type VI never burns (typically dark skin, hair, and eyes).

In addition, Clearscan can safely treat sun-tanned skin, making it the ideal treatment for active individuals. Always inform your physician if you have been tanning, using tanning products, or exposed to the sun within the past three weeks. Your physician will adjust your treatment regimen accordingly to give you the safest, most effective experience.

The infrared energy delivered by the Clearscan laser can be used to remove all types of hair. Sometimes “shaving bumps” can occur over a follicle, but the penetrating light of the Clearscan laser can still be safely used.

Hair growth occurs in three phases – anagen, catagen, and telogen. Only hair in the active growth phase, anagen, can be successfully treated.
Treatment

Treatment time varies depending on the area to be treated. A system for cooling the skin will be used to remove heat as it leaves the follicles, ensuring a comfortable treatment. Because the sensation varies from person to person, the physician can provide a topical anesthetic for sensitive skin.

Each patient may need to be treated three to five times at intervals of three to eight weeks.
After Treatment

After treatment, some redness and slight swelling may be present. If prolonged redness or swelling occurs, notify the physician immediately. Keep the treated area clean, use at least SPF 15 sunscreen when outdoors, and carefully follow physician instructions. Temporary pigmentation changes are possible but seldom occur.
