Laser Hair Removal
Not only can laser treatment be used for skin rejuvenation, it can also be used to permanently reduce hair growth on nearly any body area.
Laser hair removal is commonly performed to reduce unwanted or excessive facial and body hair of both men and women, but it requires multiple treatments to be effective and doesn’t work well for blonde or gray hair.
Sciton Profile
Laser or light energy is selectively absorbed by the melanin in hair follicles and converted to heat, diffusing to and injuring stem cells in the bulb and bulge. Effective hair reduction can only be achieved during the active growth phase and hair reduction is considered permanent when a significant amount of hair does not return for a period of time longer than the complete growth cycle. After a series of treatments, most hair is permanently removed. The selective 1064 nm wavelength has strong absorption in oxyhemoglobin and melanin, resulting in selective heating of veins and hair follicles, which produces excellent clinical results. The powerful contact cooling enables treatments to be safe for all skin types and tanned skin.
ClearScan YAG’s large area pattern generator (LAPG), fast speed, non-sequential scanning, powerful cooling, and flat-top beam profile provide optimal results and patient comfort during the procedure.

Some of these lesions and conditions include facial, neck, and chest telangiectasias or “broken capillaries” (such as those seen with Rosacea), tan or brown “sun spots” and sun damage on the face, neck, chest, arms, legs and “cherry angiomas” of the face and body. It is also the treatment of choice for poikiloderma (red/brown mottled pigmentation from the sun on the sides of the neck). It is also used, in combination with other treatments, to help reduce the dark pigmentation seen with Melasma.
