The laser works by targeting pigment inside each follicle, converting light into heat to disable future growth.

This is why pre-shaving is important, so the energy is not “wasted” on exposed hair length/growth.

Before your session begins, we will review your medical history in person, discuss your goals, and confirm the area you’re treating. You may be asked to:

• Shave 12–24 hours before the appointment

• Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners

• Skip active exfoliants (AHA/BHA/retinol) on the treatment area

• Arrive with clean, product-free skin

Proper preparation ensures your treatment maximizes results.

We will evaluate:

• Your skin type (Fitzpatrick scale I–VI)

• Hair colour and thickness

• Growth patterns

• Previous laser experience

• Any hormonal or stubborn areas

This assessment helps determine the best laser settings for your skin and ensures maximum safety.

For larger areas, we will outline the area and divide it into zones to ensure:

• Full and even coverage

• No missed patches

• Accurate tracking of progress

Clarity II features advanced cryogen, which sprays cool air right before each pulse. This step protects the skin surface, minimizes discomfort, and allows higher, more effective settings. Most clients describe the sensation as a cool burst, followed by a quick snap - similar to a rubber band, described as mild discomfort, and significantly easier than waxing.

After the full area is complete, cooling or soothing products will be applied such as a cool compress or aloe vera gel, which reduces redness and heat quickly.

It’s common to experience slight redness, “goosebumps” around follicles, and warmth in the skin for 10–30 minutes. These are normal signs the laser has successfully targeted the follicles. Most clients return to normal activities immediately.

After your session, expect simple and easy care:

• Do not pull or wax hair between sessions. Hair will begin to shed naturally over the next 1–3 weeks

• Avoid heat (saunas, hot tubs, intense workouts) for 24 hours

• Avoid direct sun exposure for 1–2 weeks

• Use SPF daily (even on overcast days). Reminder that Calgary is the sunniest city in all of Canada!

• Skip exfoliating acids or retinol for 48 hours

Most clients notice visible reduction after 1–2 sessions, with slower regrowth and patchiness (normal and expected). Full results typically require 6–8 sessions, depending on the area, skin type, and hair growth cycles.

Clarity II is suitable for clients who want:

• Faster results

• Less discomfort

• Effective treatment for stubborn or hormonal hair

• Safe treatment for light or dark skin

• Consistent reduction with fewer missed follicles

• Clarity II sessions are quick and comfortable

• Safe for all skin types

• Highly effective on stubborn hair

• Easy with minimal downtime

From start to finish, treatments are designed to be efficient and tailored to your unique skin and hair needs.
