Are you curious about renting or purchasing a Clareon IPL for your practice? Do you have specific questions about the device or treatment procedures? We are here to help!
Here are the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) we get from our customers, if you have any additional questions, please contact us.
If I purchase a Clareon, will training come with it?
We want you to be completely comfortable with the purchase of a Clareon IPL before you begin using it in your practice. Therefore, we provide a full day to install and train you on live patients so you are fully comfortable with operating the Clareon.
Who can operate the device?
Please make sure that you are licensed to operate the Clareon. The right to operate a Clareon device is determined by each individual State. You may verify this with your local State Board of Medicine.
Is it better to purchase the Clareon or rent it?
We believe this is a personal preference. It is like the choice to rent an apartment or buy a house. The rental has lower payments; but there is no ownership. It just depends on the circumstances, we would be happy to discuss the rent/own scenario with you and see what makes the most sense for your situation.
Is the light from the Clareon harmful to me?
The light from the Clareon is completely safe and non-harmful to the skin or body. The light output from the Clareon contains no harmful ultraviolet (UV) light and therefore is non-mutanigenic. It utilizes absorption physics to thermally destroy the unwanted target and your body will replace the damaged target with new cells via the lymphatic system. The result is flawless, younger skin your customers can feel confident about in front of the mirror.
How much downtime is there after a treatment?
There are many treatments that are performed by the Clareon with no downtime. The most sensation you will feel is a mild sunburn feeling that will last only a few hours. Most people equate the sensation from the treatment like a rubber band hitting the skin. The feedback we have gotten is that it is much less painful than a bikini wax. There’s less downtime required in comparison with a “peel” and as long as you stay out of the sun two weeks prior and after treatment, you should see optimal results.
How many treatments will I need?
This is a common question that we get and it depends on your personal circumstances, skin type, and responsiveness to the treatment. Most procedures require 3 treatments for the desired end result. Hair Removal requires approximately 6 treatments and this varies from person to person depending on skin and hair type. Also, the downtime between treatments may vary depending on the type of treatment selected.
Is the Clareon a Laser?
No, the Clareon is an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) devicebut the physics of how it operates is the same. Just to give you an idea, an IPL is a broadband pulsed light source, whereas laser is a monochromatic coherent light source. Typically, lasers are better at treating targeted areas whereas IPL is more effective when it comes to broader skin areas.
