Clarity II is a next-generation long-pulsed Nd:YAG and Alexandrite laser system that can safely treat both superficial and deeper vascular lesions. It delivers laser energy into the targeted blood vessels, which are gently collapsed and absorbed by the body without damaging the surrounding skin.
At Little Laser Clinic, Christine Chen, PA-C, uses Clarity II for:
Due to its customizable settings and advanced cooling system, Clarity II is suitable for all skin types, including those with Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI.
After a thorough consultation, we will cleanse your skin and apply protective eyewear. You’ll feel a quick snap of heat as the laser targets the blood vessels, but the integrated cooling keeps the skin comfortable throughout. No numbing is required for most treatments, and sessions typically take 15–30 minutes.
The laser works by gently heating and closing off broken or dilated vessels. The skin may look slightly flushed after treatment, but most redness fades within a few hours. You can return to normal activities immediately.-

Results are long-lasting, especially when combined with proper skincare and sun protection.
