Vascular Conditions

Mechanism of Action

Laser or light energy is selectively absorbed by the oxyhemoglobin resulting in heating of the blood vessels.

With the correct wavelengths and fluence, the vascular lesion will be heated to above 70 oC. At that temperature, blood vessels will break down and shrink which leads to a reduction of the vascular lesion.

"Sciton's ClearScan 1064 laser provides an optimal wavelength for treating my patients regardless of skin color. The integrated cooling and non-sequential pattern generator allows for both comfortable and efficacious treatment. The ClearScan is very effective for treating facial veins and as an adjunct to treating leg veins along with endovenous ablation and sclerotherapy. If I could only have one laser this would be it!"
