What is Vascular Laser Treatment with Clarity II?

Clarity II uses the ND:YAG (Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) laser, which is a solid-state laser that operates at a wavelength of 1064 nm. This specific wavelength is deeply penetrative, allowing it to target and treat deeper layers of the skin without affecting the surface.

How does the Clarity II laser work for vascular concerns?

The Clarity II laser is particularly effective in targeting hemoglobin within blood vessels, making it ideal for treating vascular concerns like broken capillaries and visible veins. It emits a precise wavelength that is absorbed by the hemoglobin in blood vessels, causing the blood to coagulate and the vessel to break down, and be naturally absorbed by the body. This selective absorption ensures minimal damage to surrounding tissue, allowing for a faster recovery.

  • What distinguishes Clarity II from other vascular treatments?

    Clarity II uses the ND:YAG laser’s deeper wavelength, effectively treating deeper and larger vessels that might not be addressable with other lasers. It also offers minimal side effects and downtime compared to other modalities.

Things to Keep In Mind for Treatment

  1. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment.
