What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is an FDA-approved treatment that uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles. This innovative approach to hair reduction works on the principle of selective photothermolysis, where specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by the pigmentation in the hair follicles. The absorbed light energy converts to heat, effectively damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Undergoing Laser Hair Removal at Elite Beauty Medical Spa provides numerous advantages:
- Lasting Results: Enjoy long-term reduction in hair growth, making your grooming routine easier.
- Precision: Targets only hair follicles, leaving surrounding skin undamaged.
- Speed: Each laser pulse takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at once.
- Versatility: Effective on all skin tones and most hair types, thanks to the Lutronic Clarity 2 system.
The Hair Growth Cycle and Its Impact on Treatment
To fully understand the laser hair removal process, it's crucial to recognize that our hair grows in cycles:
- Anagen (growth phase)
- Catagen (transitional phase)
- Telogen (resting phase)
Laser hair removal treatment is most effective during the anagen phase when the hair follicle is actively growing and contains the most melanin. This is why multiple sessions are necessary to target all hairs at their most responsive stage, ensuring comprehensive hair reduction across the treated area.
Many clients are thrilled with the results of laser hair removal and often wonder how they ever managed with the old methods. It's exciting to see their happiness and satisfaction with such an effective and lasting solution.

Lutronic Clarity II: The Best of Both Worlds
The Lutronic Clarityrevolutionary dual-wavelength platform
Alexandrite Laser (755 nm) The Alexandrite component of the Clarity II is ideal for lighter skin tones and finer hair. Its shorter wavelength allows for:
- Faster treatment times, especially beneficial for larger areas
- Excellent results on light to medium skin tones
- Effective targeting of fine to medium hair thickness
Nd:YAG Laser (1064 nm) The Nd:YAG component is particularly effective for darker skin tones and coarser hair types. It offers:
- Deep penetration into the skin, making it excellent for treating larger, denser areas like the back or legs
- Safe and effective treatment for a wide range of skin types, including darker skin tones
- Superior results on coarse, dense hair
The Advantage of Dual Wavelengths
By combining these two powerful lasers, the Clarity II offers several unique benefits:
- Versatility: We can treat a wide range of skin types and hair colors effectively, from the fairest skin to the darkest tones.
- Customization: Our providers can adjust settings to precisely target your specific hair and skin type, ensuring optimal results.
- Efficiency: The system's advanced technology allows for faster treatment times without compromising on effectiveness.
- Comfort: The Clarity II features an advanced cooling system that minimizes discomfort during treatment, making the experience as comfortable as possible.
- Safety: Real-time temperature monitoring ensures the safest possible treatment, minimizing the risk of side effects.
Intelligent Treatment Delivery
The Clarity II system incorporates IntelliTrak™ technology, an innovative feature that ensures consistent and even coverage during treatment. This intelligent tracking system adjusts in real-time to maintain optimal energy delivery, resulting in more uniform results and reduced treatment times.
Quick Sessions
Another significant benefit of the Lutronic Clarity II laser system is the speed of its treatments. Thanks to the IntelliTrak™ technology, the system can cover large areas quickly, significantly reducing the duration of each session. This efficiency allows patients to fit their laser hair removal treatments into busy schedules and return to daily activities immediately, with no downtime required.
