Laser Hair Removal

The Alternative to Painful Electrolysis

 

Historically, electrolysis was the go-to hair removal method. This process involves destroying the hair follicle with chemicals or heat to interfere with the hair growth cycle and then removing the hair with a probe inserted into the follicle. If it sounds painful, that’s because it is, and electrolysis requires several sessions. The good news is that ClarityMD has something better to try to get rid of unwanted hair and prevent future hair growth.

 

The hair removal laser uses a beam of light to remove unwanted hair rather than heat or harsh chemicals. The light absorbs pigment in the hair to lighten the color, while the heat from the laser inhibits the follicles from growing more hair in the future. Pain and discomfort are minimal and rare with laser hair removal treatments. A trained professional can perform the procedure almost anywhere on your body except the eyelids and any tattooed areas. Laser hair removal cost is affordable when compared to the cumulative costs of other hair removal methods.

 

Our breakthrough laser hair removal technology painlessly eliminates hair in various areas of the body and is safe for all skin types. The Motus AY is the first high-speed Alexandrite laser that can safely and effectively treat even darker skin types. The groundbreaking technology of the Moveo handpiece delivers fast, efficient energy to painlessly destroy follicles and prevent side effects.

 

What areas can be treated with Laser Hair Removal?

​

• Face and neck hair are common areas of frustration for women. Whether the cause is genetic, medical, or related to menopause, the hair removal laser can help eliminate it.

• Arms and underarms, because they’re seasonally exposed to the sun, are two of the most common areas where clients request laser hair removal.

• Chest hair is normal for most women and may go unnoticed if it’s delicate or light-colored. However, if it’s dark or coarse, it’s probably a good candidate for laser hair removal.

• Back hair can make you feel self-conscious in a swimsuit or your favorite summer sundress. Laser hair removal can set you free to enjoy the season.

• Bikini line hair removal with razors or wax often leaves irritation and rashes. With laser hair removal, we can take off as much or as little as you want, so you are free to bare as much as you dare.

• Legs are a concern in any season, and many of our clients are simply tired of the time and mess required to shave often enough to keep smooth and silky skin. Laser hair removal can help.

 

​How many treatments will I need?

 

Most areas require six treatments, but the number of treatments you may need for optimal long-term benefits depends on various factors such as your hair’s thickness, the area treated, and your hair’s growth cycle. Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time but actually go through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. The Motus AY systems work by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area.

 

​The Motus AY Difference:

The three main differences between the Motus AY and other technologies for laser hair removal are: 1) Total comfort, 2) Speed and effectiveness of the treatment, and 3) Use across all skin types. The Motus AY eliminates the trade-offs that come with other laser hair removal options. For instance, an ND:YAG laser can be used across skin types but is less effective. Other technologies are highly effective, but treatments are difficult to tolerate.

 

​What do Motus AY laser treatments feel like?

One of the major benefits of the Motus AY is that the Moveo technology eliminates the discomfort of typical laser hair removal. Most people only feel a warming sensation making the experience a highly comfortable one.

 

What happens after the treatment?

Immediately following your hair removal treatment at ClarityMD, the area may appear a bit red and swollen, which is an appropriate reaction. The Motus AY Moveo handpiece protects your skin through the treatment. Some hair will fall out immediately, while the rest will shed over the course of about a week. Between treatments, you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave.

 

​Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment?

Following the treatment, you can return to your normal activities right away. However, since some redness may occur, you may want to plan your work or social engagements accordingly. The use of sunscreen is recommended in any treated areas exposed to the sun. As always, it is a good idea to limit your sun exposure.

 

​How does Motus AY compare with Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive, and painful process involving inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatment at regular intervals. By delivering light energy to hundreds of hair follicles at a time, Motus AY effectively treats an area in just seconds that would take hours with electrolysis.
