ClearScan YAG™ Laser Hair Removal in Charlotte – Graper Cosmetic Surgery
What is ClearScan YAG™ laser hair removal?
ClearScan YAG™ laser hair removal is the latest and most technologically advanced laser hair removal treatment available today. Dr. Robert Graper of Graper Cosmetic Surgery uses ClearScan YAG™ to help his Charlotte cosmetic surgery patients effectively eliminate unwanted hair anywhere on the face or body. ClearScan YAG™ utilizes a computer-guided scanning system and laser energy to rapidly and evenly reduce hair follicles while in their anagen (growth) stage.
ClearScan YAG™ Laser Hair Removal: The Procedure
ClearScan YAG™ selectively targets and heats hair, thereby damaging the follicles and impairing ongoing hair growth. Laser hair removal with ClearScan YAG™ is a customizable procedure that can be tailored by Dr. Graper to address the aesthetic concerns of each patient. Because hair removal can only be successful while the hair is in its anagen stage, most patients require more than one treatment session. Topical anesthesia is available for patients who are sensitive to mild discomfort. Treatment time depends on the size of the area treated, the thickness of the hair and skin characteristics.
ClearScan YAG™ can be used to successfully remove hair from any part of the body, including:
- Armpits
- Back
- Face
- Neck
- Legs
- Bikini line
ClearScan YAG™ Laser Hair Removal Recovery
ClearScan YAG™ laser hair removal does not require any downtime and patients are free to return to their daily activities immediately following treatment. Some redness and swelling may occur in sensitive areas but generally subside within a few hours. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and follow specific aftercare instructions.
ClearScan YAG™ Laser Hair Removal Results
ClearScan YAG™ laser hair removal results vary from one patient to another and greatly depend on several factors, including skin and hair characteristics. However, ClearScan YAG™ has been used to successfully treat any type of skin regardless of color. ClearScan YAG™ can also be used on tanned skin, which has made this treatment quite popular among individuals with active lifestyles.
