Laser Hair Removal Process at RE:BERRY
From consultation to smooth, hair-free skin — here is exactly what to expect.
Consultation & Area Selection
Choose any 5 areas from: lower legs (including feet), thighs, upper arms, forearms (including hands), back, abdomen, chest, buttocks, neck, or face. Your doctor assesses your hair type, skin tone, and recommends the optimal laser settings.
Skin Preparation
Treatment areas are cleansed and shaved if needed. Cooling gel is applied to protect the epidermis. For sensitive areas, topical numbing cream may be applied 20 minutes prior.
Clarity II Laser Treatment
The Clarity II fires dual wavelengths (755nm alexandrite for lighter hair, 1064nm Nd:YAG for darker skin) with IntelliTrak spot size automation. The laser targets melanin in hair follicles, destroying the growth center while integrated cooling protects surrounding skin.
Aftercare & Next Session
Soothing gel applied post-treatment. Mild redness fades within hours. Avoid sun exposure for 48 hours. Hair falls out over 1-2 weeks. Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart, targeting hair in the active growth phase.

The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal
How dual-wavelength laser technology achieves permanent hair reduction.
Selective Photothermolysis
Laser hair removal works through selective photothermolysis — the laser wavelength is absorbed preferentially by melanin in the hair follicle, converting to heat that destroys the follicular stem cells and dermal papilla while sparing surrounding tissue. The pulse duration is matched to the thermal relaxation time of the hair follicle (30-100ms) for optimal selectivity.
Clarity II Dual-Wavelength System
Clarity II (Lutronic) features two wavelengths: 755nm alexandrite for lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I-III) where melanin contrast is high, and 1064nm Nd:YAG for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) where the longer wavelength reduces epidermal melanin absorption. IntelliTrak technology automates spot size and spacing for uniform coverage.
Hair Growth Cycle & Treatment Spacing
Hair grows in three phases: anagen (active growth, 20-30% of hairs), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Laser hair removal is only effective during anagen when melanin is concentrated in the follicle. This is why 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are needed to target all follicles as they cycle through the anagen phase.
