What will happen during the procedure?

To start your eyes will be protected with safety shields or glasses. Then a ClearScan laser beam will be directed to the area of your skin being treated as this occurs you may briefly feel a warm or a hot sensation as the laser pulses are preferentially absorbed in the unwanted vessels, heating and destroying them. Your procedure may take a few minutes to half an hour depending on the size of the area being treated.

What aftercare will I need?

It is important to follow your physicians instructions. You may be given some skin care products and instructions on how to use them. This will minimize your risk of inflammation or redness and ensure the shortest healing time. Any blood vessels denatured by the laser will be reabsorbed by your body over a period of time in a natural cleansing process. Most small capillaries will become invisible almost immediately since they will no longer contain blood flow.

Your skin will be sensitive to ultra-violet light, and you must avoid direct sun exposure. Many of the conditions treated by the laser will have been caused by sun exposure, so avoiding the sun will prolong your youthful appearance. You need to fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen whenever you go outdoors.
