Clarity II Laser
Clarity II is a dual-wavelength laser system capable of treating pigmentation, vascular concerns, and unwanted hair, often in the same session. Because it combines two distinct laser technologies in one device, it offers a versatile approach for patients dealing with multiple skin concerns at once. We offer Clarity II Laser at our Port Moody and Abbotsford clinics, customized to your specific skin tone and concerns.
What Is Clarity II Laser?
Clarity II is an advanced laser system that combines two wavelengths, one targeting pigment and vascular concerns, the other suited for hair reduction, into a single versatile platform. This allows our team to address a wide range of skin concerns with one device, adjusting settings based on your skin tone and the specific issue being treated. Whether you're dealing with sun damage, redness, acne, or unwanted hair, Clarity II can be tailored to your needs.
What to Expect
A cooling tip is used throughout treatment to keep the skin comfortable as the laser passes over the targeted area. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warming feeling. Treatment time varies depending on the area and concern being addressed. Some redness or warmth in the skin is normal immediately afterward and typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
How Clarity II Laser Works
Clarity II uses targeted wavelengths of light that are absorbed by specific structures in the skin, whether that's pigment in a sunspot, blood vessels causing redness, or melanin in a hair follicle. The energy converts to heat at the targeted structure, breaking down pigment or damaging the hair follicle while leaving surrounding skin largely unaffected. Because the device offers two distinct wavelengths, treatment can be calibrated specifically to the concern and skin tone being addressed.
What it Helps With
- Pigmentation and Sun Damage: Target excess pigment caused by sun exposure for a brighter, more even complexion.
- Redness and Rosacea: Reduce visible redness and improve overall skin tone for patients with reactive or rosacea-prone skin.
- Age Spots: Diminish the appearance of dark spots that develop with age and sun exposure.
- Acne and Acne Scarring: Improve overall skin clarity and the appearance of acne-related discoloration.
- Unwanted Body Hair: Reduce hair growth on the face and body with technology suited to a range of skin tones.
