Lutronic Clarity II
Laser Hair Removal for All Skin Types in Vienna, VA
Two wavelengths
One laser, set for your skin
The Lutronic Clarity II delivers dual-wavelength energy, 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG, with integrated cryogen cooling to target hair follicles while protecting the surrounding skin.
Because it has both, we can match the treatment to your skin tone and hair instead of fitting everyone to one setting. Your settings are reviewed at every session.

Getting ready
Before your treatment
- Avoid sun exposure to the treated area by covering or using sunscreen for a minimum of 2-4 weeks prior and post treatment.
- Avoid using spray tans or self-tanner for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to treatment.
- Please ensure the treatment area is hair-free before your appointment by shaving with a traditional razor (recommended within 24 hours of appointment).
- Avoid tweezing, sugaring, waxing, or electrolysis for 4-6 weeks prior to treatment. Shaving is fine 48 hours after treatment.
- The treatment area should be clean-shaven and thoroughly cleansed, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics, or bronzing products before treatment. Avoid skin care products with irritants such as Glycolic Acid or Retin-A on the treatment area for about 1-2 weeks before treatment.
- Please call before your appointment if you are taking a new medication that may cause photosensitivity, especially acne medication.
Questions
Skin type questions
Is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. The Clarity II combines two wavelengths, Alexandrite and Nd:YAG, and we set each treatment for your skin tone and hair. We treat all skin types with confidence.
How are my settings chosen?
At your free consultation we look at your skin and your hair, and we set the laser for you at every session rather than using one setting for everyone.
How many sessions will I need?
Everyone's body is different, but 8 to 10 treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart are recommended. We never say permanent, but it can be very long lasting.
Is there anything I should avoid before treatment?
Avoid sun on the area for at least 2 to 4 weeks before and after treatment, avoid spray tans and self-tanner for 2 weeks before, and call us if you have started a medication that may cause photosensitivity.
