Sciton ThermaScan™
Treats: Sun Spots, Aging & Wrinkles.
The ThermaScan™ laser offers a non-invasive treatment that addresses wrinkles, acne, and acne scars by removing bacteria and minimizing oil-producing glands on the skin. This laser also uses heat to help the facial skin produce new collagen, and it is safe to use on all skin types.
ThermaScan Overview
Pulsed energy at a 1319 nm wavelength allows controlled heating of sub-epidermal layers of the skin. This is ideal for non-invasive wrinkle and acne scar treatment through collagen remodeling or for treating acne by heating sebaceous glands thereby minimizing oil production. The pulse duration and high scattering coefficient limit the heated region to a uniform thin layer below the epidermal-dermal boundary.
The LAPG (Large Area Pattern Generator) computer-guided high speed scanner provides precise placement of each spot in a non-sequential pattern to prevent excessive heat build-up promoting thermal relaxation time between pulses. In addition, the advanced robotic scanning offers smooth operation, faster treatments, and 100% coverage.
To achieve optimal safety and patient comfort, the LAPG provides integrated contact cooling through sapphire plates and a powerful external chilling unit. The intelligent user interface provides user-friendly and quick guidance to initial settings for the treating conditions. ThermaScan is designed for all skin types including tanned skin.

Clinical Applications
The infrared laser treatment requires heating the target region to an elevated temperature within a narrow temperature band.
Rejuvenation of dermal collagen includes:
- Wrinkles
- Acne
- Acne scars
- Skin tone and texture

Collagen Remodeling
Non-ablative techniques are motivated by the idea that collagen remodeling happens with an intact epidermal layer.
- Thermally injure a dermal region in the skin
- Initiate the body’s wound healing response
- Stimulate fibroblast activity
- Exercise the skin’s wound healing ability to remodel or replace collagen
Large Area Pattern Generator (LAPG™) & Non-Sequential Scanning
- ThermaScan utilizes the LAPG high speed scanner with continuous contact cooling for precise, uniform coverage
- The computer guided scanner covers large areas rapidly and evenly
- Maximizes the time interval between adjacent spots
- Minimizes subsurface heat buildup
- High speed, uniform coverage
- Improves efficacy
Powerful Cooling
ThermaScan’s powerful sapphire plate contact cooling, for pre-, during, and post-treatment, provides increased patient safety and comfort.
Beam Profile
The precise targeted flat-top beam profile causes less energy scattering and enables deep penetration to targeted chromophores. Uniform energy distribution results in even treatment to prevent central heat buildup.
ClearScan YAG™
ClearScan YAG Overview
ClearScan YAG’s 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength and pulse duration are unmatched for permanent hair reduction and vascular lesions from telangiectasias to reticular leg and facial veins.
The selective 1064 nm wavelength has strong absorption in oxyhemoglobin and melanin, resulting in selective heating of veins and hair follicles, which produces excellent clinical results. The powerful contact cooling enables treatments to be safe for all skin types and tanned skin.
ClearScan YAG’s large area pattern generator (LAPG), fast speed, non-sequential scanning, powerful cooling, and flat-top beam profile provide optimal results and patient comfort during the procedure.
Clinical Applications
ClearScan YAG is FDA cleared for permanent hair reduction and treating vein and vascular conditions:
Permanent Hair Reduction – Removal of unwanted hair or permanent hair reduction through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles, and for the treatment of pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB).
Vein and Vascular – Benign vascular lesions, port wine stains, hemangiomas, warts, telangiectasia, rosacea, venous lake, leg veins and spider veins.
Science + Technology
Large Area Pattern Generator (LAPG™) & Non-Sequential Scanning
- ClearScan YAG utilizes the LAPG high speed scanner in a non-sequential delivery for comfortable hair reduction with continuous contact cooling for precise, uniform coverage.
- The computer guided scanner covers large areas rapidly and evenly.
- Maximizes the time interval between adjacent spots for precision thermal relaxation time.
- Minimizes subsurface heat build-up providing additional comfort during treatment.
- High speed, uniform coverage.
- Improved efficacy.
Powerful Cooling
ClearScan YAG’s powerful sapphire plate contact cooling, for pre-, during, and post-treatment, provides increased patient safety and comfort.
Product Highlights
Fast treatment. ClearScan YAG can cover large areas 4x faster than other systems, with only 200 scans to cover a large back. Most systems require thousands of hand-placed spots to cover the same area.
Powerful Contact Cooling
A 250-watt integrated contact cooling device controls skin temperature at any treatment speed. It is the first system to use non-selective bulk cooling for comfort and safety.
