Testimonials ‘CLARITY long pulsed 755 nm Alexandrite is very effective for a variety of pigmented lesions and photorejuvenation without crust formation. Generally, wrinkles, pores or skin laxity can be improved all together with this dual wavelength workhorse,’ said Dr Boncheol Leo Goo, co-author of the aforementioned hair removal study. ‘Advanced features of CLARITY provide multiple applications for combination treatment. I prefer the speedy hair removal feature of CLARITY, it is really efficient for fine hair removal.’ Kubilay Yucel, MD, practices dermatology in Turkey.
‘Since I began using the device in December 2012, I have not received complaints from any of my CLARITY patients. They are very satisfied because of the treatment speed and minimised discomfort, as well as the clinical outcomes,’ he said. ‘And because patients don’t have to shave before hair removal treatment, speed is further increased. ‘I most often use the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for the
face, back and breast, and I find the 755 nm Alexandrite laser is very satisfactory for treating the rest of the body,’ Dr Yucel continued. ‘Also, I choose the Nd:YAG for the many dark- or wheat-skinned patients I treat within my practice.’ Dr Yucel prefers the 12 mm and 15 mm spot handpieces for most areas of the face and body, but will use the 20 mm spot for some body areas, such as the arms and legs.
