What Is Laser Hair Removal With Clarity II™?

Clarity II is an advanced dual-wavelength laser system that effectively reduces and eliminates unwanted hair across all skin types. This innovative technology combines two powerful laser wavelengths (755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG) in one versatile platform, allowing our dermatologists to customize treatments for optimal results regardless of your skin tone or hair color.

Unlike temporary hair removal methods that require constant maintenance, Clarity II targets hair follicles at their root, disrupting the growth cycle for long-lasting smoothness. The system features IntelliTrak™ technology for precise temperature monitoring and advanced cooling mechanisms that maximize comfort while delivering exceptional results.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal with Clarity II uses selective photothermolysis, a process where specific wavelengths of light target melanin (pigment) in hair follicles while preserving surrounding skin tissue. The laser energy converts to heat within the follicle, damaging its ability to produce new hair.

Dual-Wavelength Benefits for All Skin Tones

The dual-wavelength capability of Clarity II offers distinct advantages. The 755nm Alexandrite wavelength excels at treating lighter skin tones with fine to medium hair. The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength safely penetrates deeper, making it ideal for darker skin tones and coarser hair. Both wavelengths can be used individually or in combination for customized treatment approaches.

Temperature Monitoring and Cooling for Enhanced Safety and Comfort

The IntelliTrak temperature-sensing technology continuously monitors skin temperature during treatment and automatically adjusts energy delivery to maintain optimal therapeutic levels. This real-time feedback system, combined with the advanced cooling technology, creates a more comfortable experience than traditional laser hair removal systems with enhanced safety.

What Areas Can Clarity II™ Laser Hair Removal Treat?

Clarity II laser hair removal effectively treats unwanted hair on virtually any area of the body, including:

  • Facial areas (upper lip, chin, cheeks and sideburns)
  • Underarms
  • Arms and hands
  • Legs from thighs to toes
  • Bikini area, with customizable coverage
  • Back and shoulders
  • Chest and abdomen
  • Neck and nape

The versatility of Clarity II allows for the treatment of large areas, like the legs and backs, as well as smaller, more delicate areas, such as the upper lip or fingers.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal With Clarity II™?

One of the most significant advantages of Clarity II is its ability to safely and effectively treat all skin types, from the fairest to the darkest skin tones. The dual-wavelength technology and customizable settings make it possible to achieve excellent results across the full spectrum of skin and hair combinations.

You may be an ideal candidate for Clarity II laser hair removal if you:

  • Experience frequent irritation, razor burn or ingrown hairs from shaving
  • Find waxing too painful or inconvenient
  • Want to reduce time spent on daily grooming routines
  • Seek a more permanent solution than temporary hair removal methods offer
  • Have realistic expectations about the laser hair removal process and results
  • Are committed to completing the recommended treatment series

Certain factors may affect your candidacy, including active skin infections, recent sun exposure or use of photosensitizing medications. Our Board-Certified Dermatologists will thoroughly evaluate your individual situation during your consultation.

Your Laser Hair Removal Consultation

Your path to permanently smoother skin begins with a comprehensive consultation at AboutSkin Dermatology and Aesthetics. During this initial appointment, Dr. Cohen or one of our other Board-Certified Dermatologists will assess your skin type using the Fitzpatrick scale, evaluate your hair characteristics and discuss your treatment goals. We’ll review your medical history, current medications and any previous hair removal experiences to determine whether Clarity II is the optimal choice for you.

Based on this thorough evaluation, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that outlines the laser wavelength and settings for your skin and hair type, the number of recommended sessions and treatment intervals (time between your sessions). Our team will also review detailed pre-treatment preparation instructions and your expected outcomes based on your individual characteristics. This personalized approach offers the most effective treatment while minimizing potential side effects.

Clarity II™ Treatment Process

Each Clarity II treatment session begins with cleansing the target area and ensuring all hair has been shaved to skin level. You’ll wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. During treatment, the Clarity II handpiece glides over your skin, delivering precise pulses of laser energy. The integrated cooling system activates with each pulse, creating a comfortable sensation often described as a quick snap followed by cooling relief.

How Long Will Treatment Take?

Treatment times vary based on the target area. Small areas like the upper lip take five to 10 minutes, while medium areas like underarms require 15 to 20 minutes. Larger areas, such as full legs, may take 45 to 60 minutes. Throughout the session, your provider will check in regularly to ensure your comfort and may adjust settings as needed for different areas or hair densities.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery and Downtime

One of the many benefits of Clarity II laser hair removal is the minimal recovery time required. Most Clarity II patients return to their regular activities immediately after treatment. The advanced cooling technology significantly reduces post-treatment redness and irritation compared to older laser systems.

Common post-treatment side effects include mild redness resembling a light sunburn for one to three hours, slight swelling around hair follicles (indicating effective treatment) and temporary darkening of treated hairs before they shed. To optimize healing and results, apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer as needed, avoid direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Skip hot baths, saunas and intense exercise for 24 hours, and allow treated hairs to shed naturally over the following weeks.

Expected Results From Laser Hair Removal With Clarity II™

The timeline for visible results follows a predictable pattern. You’ll notice treated hairs beginning to shed within one to three weeks after treatment. By four to six weeks, you’ll see a noticeable reduction in hair density.

After completing your treatment series, you can expect a significant reduction in hair growth. Any remaining hair is typically much finer and lighter than before treatment.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients achieve their desired results within six to eight treatment sessions, each spaced four to eight weeks apart. The ideal number of sessions varies based on treatment area (facial hair often requires more sessions than body hair), hair color and thickness, hormonal factors and individual hair growth cycles.

Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatment only affects follicles in the active growth phase. Each subsequent treatment targets additional follicles in their active growth phase, gradually reducing overall hair density. This is why multiple sessions are necessary for comprehensive results.

Are Laser Hair Removal Results Permanent?

Clarity II laser hair removal provides long-lasting to permanent hair reduction. Once a follicle is sufficiently damaged, it loses its ability to produce new hair. Most patients enjoy their smooth results for years following their initial treatment series.

If new hair growth occurs due to hormonal changes, medications or medical conditions, it’s typically much finer and lighter than the original hair, and a simple touch-up treatment can address any concerns. Many patients maintain their results with annual touch-up sessions, though some enjoy permanent hair reduction without additional treatments.
