With less sunshine, cooler weather, and back-to-school routines in full swing, it’s safe to say that laser season is here. Autumn is the best time of year to start your laser hair removal and skin revitalization treatments.
Now that laser treatments are commonly available, what makes one provider better than another? In other words, how do you select a good laser service provider? We interviewed Catherine Crosbie, owner of Body Works Med Spa & Wellness, in downtown Halifax to get an industry-insider’s perspective.
“Naturally, most people look for a convenient location with a look and feel that speaks to them,” says Crosbie. “At Body Works, people from all over Nova Scotia come for our wellness services, so it’s convenient for them to also do their laser services with us.”
She continues, “Beyond that, you’ll want to find a provider that is properly trained and certified in laser, and consider the device that they’re using.”
Body Works Med Spa & Wellness is one of the only laser providers in Nova Scotia with the Clarity II. One of the latest and greatest aesthetic lasers in the industry, it’s a dual laser system, meaning it has two different lasers in one machine.
“With laser hair removal, for example, the Alexandrite 755 laser is best for lighter skin types, while the Nd:YAG 1064 is best for medium to dark skin types. Since we have both of those lasers in the one machine, we can use the optimal laser for each client’s skin type.”
Giving more context, “If the skin in a person’s bikini area is a different colour than their inner thighs, or if they’re doing skin rejuvenation, we may even switch between the Alexandrite and YAG lasers for best results.”
Furthermore, the Clarity II laser system makes laser hair removal treatments more comfortable, effective, and extremely fast with no messy gel required.
“People also look for good pricing when it comes to laser services,” Crosbie offers. “Even though Clarity II is a premium device, the price point for our laser services is competitive with less advanced technology.”
Luckily for our readers, Body Works Med Spa & Wellness turns 4 years old this September. In celebration, they’re offering “Buy One, Get One Free” on all laser treatments and packages until Monday, September 29th, 2025. That includes laser hair removal, treatment of benign pigmented lesions like sun damage, treatment of vascular lesions like spider veins, and laser facials.
“I’m so impressed with the results of my own laser facials,” Crosbie shares. “They address browns, reds, acne, and dull skin for overall improvements in skin tone, radiance, and clarity.”
Readers may be interested to know that there’s no downtime with Clarity II laser services.
