How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

The Clarity2 is very effective in disrupting the hair growth cycle, and permanently stunting the hair follicle. The Clarity2 is effective in treating even the finest hair and offers the quickest treatment time on the market. This device is able to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as spider veins, darker pigment issues, and collagen stimulation.

How is Clarity2 Different?

Clarity2 works by using pulses of infrared diode laser energy to gradually heat the hair follicles in the subdermal layer of the skin. Because the nurse practitioner can use a sweeping motion, the laser doesn’t have to be stamped spot by spot, as is the usual method of laser hair removal. This sweeping effect eliminates any skipped or missed spots, plus it keeps the handpiece moving so the patient’s skin is gently heated in a wider area, making it more comfortable.

Why Do I Need More Than One Laser Hair Removal treatment?

Human hair has three different growth phases: anagen (growth), catagen (transitional phase between growth and rest), and telogen (resting). For laser hair removal to be effective, hair must be in the anagen phase. The human body has around five million hairs on it, and each hair operates independently. That’s why repeated hair removal sessions are needed to catch more hair in the growth phase. Laser energy has little effect on follicles in the transitional or resting phases, as the hair is already on the way out and not fully engaged in the follicle.

Most Skin Bar patients require 6-8 treatments to achieve 85-90% hair reduction.
