WHAT IS UNWANTED HAIR
Unwanted hair is a common concern that can affect comfort, confidence, and the ease of your daily routine. Whether it’s on the face, underarms, legs, or bikini area, shaving, waxing, or plucking can be time-consuming and irritating to the skin. Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution by targeting hair at the root — reducing growth and leaving skin smoother and softer over time.
At The Infirmary, we use the Clarity II laser, a medical-grade dual-wavelength device that safely and effectively treats all skin types. The laser delivers precise pulses of light energy that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, permanently reducing its ability to regrow without damaging the surrounding skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does laser hair removal work?
The Clarity II laser emits controlled bursts of light that target the melanin (pigment) within hair follicles. The absorbed energy converts to heat, disabling the follicle’s ability to produce new hair while keeping surrounding skin cool and protected.
2. What areas can be treated?
Laser hair removal is safe and effective on nearly any area of the face or body — including the upper lip, underarms, arms, legs, chest, back, bikini line, and Brazilian area. Treatments are customizable to your comfort and coverage goals.
3. How many sessions will I need?
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to treat follicles in their active growth phase. Most clients achieve long-lasting results after 6–8 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may be recommended annually for touch-ups.
4. Is laser hair removal painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap or warmth against the skin. The Clarity II’s integrated cooling system, coupled with our Zimmer chiller ensures maximum comfort and protection throughout the treatment.
5. Who is a good candidate?
The Clarity II laser is designed to treat a wide range of skin tones and hair types safely. Your provider will assess your hair colour, thickness, and skin type to determine the best treatment settings for optimal results.
6. Is there any downtime?
There’s minimal to no downtime. Some clients may experience mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours, but this quickly resolves. Avoiding sun exposure and using SPF helps maintain your results and protect the skin.
