Laser Hair Removal - Clarity II

The Clarity II Laser permanently reduces unwanted hair. Clarity II is a versatile high-powered 755/1064nm dual wavelength laser platform laser designed to enable faster and more effective treatments for all skin types. When Clarity’s laser beam hits the melanin in hair follicles, it generates a reaction that destroys them. Over 3 to 6 treatments, the hairs grow back increasingly finer, until they cease growing altogether.

​

Clarity II is one of the best lasers for laser hair removal because:

​

1. All skin tones (light & dark) can be safely and effectively treated with its dual wavelength platform

2. All hair colours can be targeted as long as it is darker than the surrounding skin

3. With cryo-cooling technology, laser hair removal is the most comfortable treatment you can experience.

4. Faster treatment time because of its adjustable spot size (laser projection) to target more hair follicles at once

5. Even the finest, thinnest, lightest hair can be treated

6. Fewer treatment sessions required to see results

​

Aside from removing unwanted body hair, it also helps smoothen the treated area. Many people who underwent laser hair removal for their underarm also mentioned how it made their armpits look and feel smoother. This means that after a few treatments with a medical-grade laser device, you can enjoy smooth skin indefinitely without any further maintenance or upkeep. Additionally, this method can achieve more comprehensive results than other methods, such as shaving or waxing, requiring frequent repetition and touch-ups to keep the desired smoothness.

​

The treatment process is relatively quick and comfortable. Most sessions take between 10 minutes and an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Patients may experience temporary redness in the treatment areas, but this usually subsides within 48 hours. Furthermore, it does not carry any risk of infection like other traditional methods because no blades are involved in the process.

​

Postcare:

• Avoiding sun exposure for one week after treatment.

• Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to prevent excessive irritation or skin damage.

• If the skin feels sunburned or irritated, take Tylenol as directed to manage these side effects.

• Comfort may be improved by applying cool compresses or aloe vera gel.

• Do not undergo other laser treatments or chemical peels on the treated area for at least 2 weeks after laser hair removal.

• Lotion and other moisturizers can be applied 24 hours after a laser hair removal treatment.

• After gently cleaning the skin, pat it dry rather than rubbing.

• If pigmentation changes, blisters, or prolonged swelling or redness occur, contact our office.
   

It's not uncommon to feel mild discomfort after laser hair removal. The skin may feel hot "from the inside out" or as if you have a mild sunburn. This happens because laser light is absorbed into the hair follicles as heat. That's how the hair follicles are disabled. One of the best ways to prepare for your laser hair removal post treatment is to plan out what you can do if you experience this side effect. Some of the strategies that our patients try include:

• Wear loose-fitting clothing both for your appointment and for a few days afterward. Soft, loose clothing doesn't rub or compress the skin like your favorite pair of jeans, and airy items let your skin breathe more easily.

• During the first two days after laser hair removal, take cool or lukewarm showers. Even if you typically prefer hot showers, the cooler water on your skin may feel quite good. 

• Stick to applying only aloe vera gel and unscented, hypoallergenic lotions to the treated area as you recover from a session.

*** Please prepare for your treatment by shaving the area beforehand and avoid tanning, plucking and waxing during the weeks leading up to the procedure.
