About Laser hair Removal
How the Clarity II Laser Works
Clarity II uses powerful dual-wavelength laser technology to safely and precisely target unwanted hair at its root. As the laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, it disrupts the follicle’s ability to grow new hair without harming the surrounding skin. The device also has built-in cooling for enhanced comfort, making treatments more tolerable than traditional lasers. Its speed and precision allow for fast sessions, even on larger areas like legs or back. With each session, hair becomes finer and regrowth slows, leading to smoother, longer-lasting results. The same Lutronic technology is also used in our advanced laser skin rejuvenation and resurfacing treatments, including IPL photofacials and skin tightening.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Long-Lasting Hair Reduction: Laser energy is used to target hair follicles at the root, reducing future growth. With a full series of sessions, many patients see a dramatic decrease in hair growth, sometimes going months without needing to shave or wax.
Smoother Skin, No Irritation: Unlike shaving or waxing, which can leave behind bumps, stubble, or discoloration, laser treatments gradually improve skin texture for a softer, more even feel.
No More Ingrown Hairs: By treating hair at the source, laser hair removal helps prevent the painful and stubborn ingrown hairs that often come with other methods of hair removal.
Fast & No-Downtime: Each session is quick and convenient, and you can resume normal activities right away with no recovery time needed.
Saves You Money Over Time: While the initial investment may be higher than razors or waxing appointments, the long-term savings add up as fewer treatments are needed and hair becomes finer or stops growing altogether.
What to Expect During & After Laser Hair Removal
During your Clarity II laser hair removal session, you’ll feel a quick snapping or tingling sensation as the laser targets the hair follicles. Thanks to the device’s built-in cooling system, most people find treatments surprisingly comfortable, even in sensitive areas. Sessions are fast, with minimal prep and no downtime required.
After treatment, you may notice slight redness or warmth in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually fades within a few hours. You can go right back to your daily activities, but we’ll give you a few simple aftercare tips like avoiding sun exposure and skipping hot showers for a day or two. Over time and with consistent sessions, you’ll see smoother skin and less hair growth.
To further support radiant skin post-treatment, many patients complement their facial laser sessions with a rejuvenating facial or a cleansing chemical peel for added exfoliation and nourishment.
