Clarity II: the dual-wavelength laser platform for every phototype

The Clarity II by Lutronic is a laser system that combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG in a single device to treat permanent hair removal and skin irregularities. At Photoderma in Laval, this platform addresses phototypes I through VI with IntelliTrak to speed up coverage and a cryogen spray to protect the skin on every pulse.

What is the Clarity II used for in a medical aesthetic clinic?

The Clarity II is used for two distinct clinical purposes: permanent hair removal on every body area and the correction of pigmented and vascular skin irregularities. The platform adapts the beam's energy to the client's phototype, to deliver lasting results without compromising skin safety.

Two wavelengths, one single device

Alexandrite is favored for phototypes I through IV, meaning fair and medium skin. Nd:YAG takes over for phototypes V and VI, meaning darker and black skin. For olive and Asian skin, the technician alternates between the two technologies based on the area being treated.

IntelliTrak for rapid coverage

IntelliTrak technology delivers fast, uniform coverage of the treated areas. The underarms take about 2 minutes, a full bikini 10 minutes, and the back 20 minutes, with no loss in pass quality or consistency of delivered energy.

Cryogen spray cooling

Just before every pulse, a very cold fluid is sprayed on the epidermis. It cools the skin, minimizes discomfort, and protects against thermal damage. A numbing cream can complement this cooling on the most sensitive areas.

Permanent hair removal, all areas

The Clarity II permanently reduces unwanted hair on every body area. The laser energy is targeted at the follicle, which optimizes effectiveness session after session and makes it possible to adapt the power to both the hair type and the client's skin tone.

Pigment and spot treatment

In addition to hair removal, the Clarity II reduces pigments and spots caused by hyperpigmentation. The beam targets superficial pigment clusters to soften visible irregularities without irritating the surrounding skin.

Superficial vascular lesions

The platform also softens vascular lesions such as couperose or small visible blood vessels. Energy is absorbed by the vascular target, which lets persistent redness on the face and body be eased with a tailored session plan.

How to prepare the skin before and after a session?

Preparing the skin is a short but essential step to get the most from each session. The actions before the pass protect the epidermis during the laser shot, and those after the treatment support recovery and extend the benefits of the Clarity II.

Before the session

  • Avoid sun exposure on the area to be treated.
  • Suspend irritating or acidic products on the skin.
  • Report any recent skin treatment during the consultation.

After the session

  • Apply a soothing cream as soon as you get back home.
  • Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
  • Postpone waxing or tweezing between sessions.

Is the treatment painful and how is the skin protected?

A cryogen spray is projected on the skin right before each pulse. It cools the epidermis, limits discomfort, and protects against thermal damage. When the area is particularly sensitive, a numbing cream can be applied in addition before the session.

How to prepare the skin before and after a session?

Before the session, avoid sun exposure and irritating products on the area to be treated. After the session, apply a soothing cream and a broad-spectrum sunscreen. These actions support recovery, limit redness, and extend the benefits of the skin treatment.
