How It Works
Laser hair removal works by directing light energy into the pigment (melanin) within the hair shaft.
The energy travels into the follicle, where heat disrupts the follicle’s ability to continue producing hair effectively.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to target follicles during active growth phases.
The Clarity II platform allows customized treatment using different wavelengths depending on:
Integrated cooling technology also helps improve comfort during treatment.
Treatment effectiveness varies depending on hair color, skin type, and hormonal factors.
