If you’re familiar with laser hair removal, you may know ‘tis the season. At least until recently.
Haligonians usually do laser hair removal during the colder months. Whether they’re planning to go down south in the spring or preparing for summer, it gives them enough time to get smooth, hairless skin. Typically, the sunnier months haven’t been a great time to do laser hair removal because treatments are riskier to do on someone with a tan.
But there’s a new laser in town and one of its benefits is that folks can do treatments at any time of year – tan or no tan.
“There are a lot of great things about Clarity II,” says Catherine Crosbie, owner of Body Works Med Spa & Wellness in downtown Halifax. “Not only can we do laser hair removal treatments year-round, but we can optimally treat all skin types with faster and more comfortable treatments. Also, results are better and longer-lasting.”
Clarity II is a new laser hair removal device by Cynosure Lutronic. Body Works Med Spa & Wellness has historically focused on non-invasive body contouring, but is now expanding into laser services for permanent hair removal and skin revitalization.
Laser hair removal has been around for a long time and it’s a popular service. Those who do it no longer have to feel self-conscious of unsightly body hair or worry about constant shaving, painful waxing, or uncomfortable ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal has its limitations, however.
Most devices are best-suited to treat either lighter skin types or darker skin types – not both. Many people also find the treatments painful. While they produce hairless results at first, some need touch-up treatments sooner than they expect.
Clarity II is a dual laser system, which means it has two different lasers in one machine. This enables Body Works Med Spa & Wellness to use the best laser according to the skin colour they’re treating. This is why generally speaking, having a tan is not a problem.
Treatments are more comfortable because Clarity II uses cryogen cooling. During treatment, there’s a mild snapping sensation on the skin, which is offset by bursts of cold air. The fact that treatments are so fast also helps.
Even though laser hair removal is considered a permanent hair removal solution, some people get regrowth within a year of completing treatments. Clarity II is a powerful laser system that performs even better than comparable dual lasers; people consistently report longer-lasting results. With Clarity II laser hair removal, technicians only expect clients to see regrowth after experiencing a hormonal shift like menopause because it triggers new hair growth. That’s when they might need a touch-up.
Clarity II is also a highly customizable device, which enables technicians to remove fine hairs that other devices can’t.
“Even though Clarity II is a premium device, we’re offering competitive pricing,” says Crosbie. “For regular treatments, people will pay about the same for laser hair removal elsewhere, but get a better experience.”
To launch its new service, Body Works Med Spa & Wellness is also offering a limited number of laser hair removal memberships. These memberships might just be the best deal in town. With only 12 monthly payments, clients will get free touch-ups and/or treatments for life.
