Laser Hair removal
We have been one of the first medical offices on the west side that started with laser hair removal devices in 2000. Since then, we have always updated with the newest ones in the market, as we strive to trailblaze in the cosmetic industry and always stay up to date.
Laser hair removal is a great alternative to traditional methods of hair removal such as shaving or waxing. This procedure uses laser light beams to target the hair follicle, safely and permanently reduce unwanted hair on the face and body.

Technology: The Lutronic Clarity II Laser
It is the newest technology, is a versatile device that is faster and more effective in removing unwanted stubborn hair on the face and body, smooths cellulite, reduces stretch marks, tightens lax skin on the body, removes spider veins/broken capillaries, and lightens brown spots. Clarity has been voted by doctors to be the best device currently available for laser hair removal.
How does the Clarity II Laser work?
If unwanted facial or body hair, cellulite, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, spider veins, or body areas that you wish to tighten without surgery, you are a potential candidate for the Clarity Laser.
The Clarity works on most skin tones but not all hair colors when used for hair removal. Blonde, light red, white, and gray hair do not contain enough pigment for the procedure to work.
What can I expect from Clarity II Laser treatment?
You will feel very little discomfort because the device disperses freezing cold air while in use. A topical anesthetic is not needed.
Recovery

While the removal of spider veins, stretch marks, cellulite, and brown spots is permanent, these conditions can recur. Proper diet and exercise or sun protection can help to avoid recurrences. The Clarity Laser is a state-of-the-art treatment for laser hair removal, hyperpigmentation, and spider veins.
