Clarity II FAQs

HAIR REMOVAL

Q: How does the treatment feel?
A: Most patients experience a mild “snapping” on the skin as the laser is moved over the treatment area. Clarity has a specialized skin-cooling system that provides a more comfortable treatment.
Q: How long does the treatment take and how many will I need?
A: Depending on the size and area to be treated, it could take anywhere from 5-30 minutes. While you may see some hair reduction from your first treatment, hair grows in cycles, which requires several treatments to effectively remove unwanted hair growth. Most patients need at least five treatments, spaced 4-8 weeks apart, for optimal results.
Q: How do I prepare for a treatment?
A: Usually the area to be treated should be shaved first to ensure a more comfortable and effective treatment but your physician or practitioner will provide you with detailed instructions prior to your series of treatments.

UNWANTED PIGMENT

Q: How long does the treatment take?
A: Depending on the size and area being treated, it could take anywhere from 5-15 minutes.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Your aesthetician will work with you to determine the number of treatments you will need, depending on the results you are looking to achieve.
Q: What will happen after the treatment?
