Hair Removal

ClearScan

A new standard of laser hair removal combining speed, efficacy, and safety.

What is ClearScan?

ClearScan at the Radiant Touch Laser Center in Wichita Falls employs laser energy that can selectively target microstructures, such as hair follicles. With its targeted absorption by melanin, it gives the optimal balance between safely treating all skin types and effectively removing unwanted hair. The ability to safely treat sun-tanned skin makes this the treatment of choice for active individuals.

How does ClearScan work?

The ClearScan laser selectively targets your hair follicles and heats them with laser energy. Unlike other treatments, the laser beam treats many hairs at once, making treatment of large areas practical. The ClearScan utilizes a unique computer-guided scanning system that automates the treatment, ensuring rapid and even treatment. The computer places the beam in an optimum pattern for your skin to experience a safe and effective treatment.

FAQs

Can all skin colors be treated?
Yes, all skin types from light to dark can be treated.

Can tanned skin be treated?
Yes, tanned skin can be treated safely. However, always inform your physician if you have been tanning, using tanning products, or have experienced prolonged exposure to the sun within the last three weeks. Your physician will then adjust your treatment regimen accordingly to give you the safest and most effective experience.

Can in-grown hair be treated?
Yes, laser energy delivered by ClearScan can be used to remove all types of hair. When “shaving bumps” cover follicles, the laser energy can still penetrate to the hair follicle for a safe and effective treatment.

How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient and your physician will personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Your physician may also combine your treatment with other popular aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.

What will happen during the procedure?
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. Treatment time will depend on the size of the area to be treated. Since the sensation varies from individual to individual, a topical anesthetic can be provided. Let your physician know if you are very sensitive.

Is there a risk of complications?
Temporary pigmentation changes are possible but seldom occur. Always discuss your concerns with your physician prior to 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, please consult your physician immediately. Keep the treated area clean, use at least SPF 15 sunscreen when going outdoors, and follow physician instructions carefully.
