Long-Term Hair Reduction Laser 'Clarity II' Receives Regulatory Approval for Gas Cooling, Now Offering Dual Cooling Options for Flexible Clinical Use

Cynosure Lutronic Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Naoyuki Sugihara) announces that its long-pulse laser system for long-term hair reduction, 'Clarity II,' has received regulatory approval for gas cooling, in addition to the previously approved air cooling using Cryo 6.

With this approval, Clarity II now allows medical facilities to select either air cooling or gas cooling based on their usage environment and operational requirements. In laser hair removal treatments, proper skin cooling is essential to protect the skin from thermal damage, reduce pain, and enhance patient comfort. The expanded cooling options support flexible deployment and operation in clinical settings while prioritizing patient comfort.

Background

Clarity II is a long-term hair reduction laser system that integrates two wavelengths in a single device: Alexandrite laser at 755nm and Nd:YAG laser at 1064nm. It features high-speed treatment over large areas with a maximum 25mm spot size, the automatic firing function 'IntelliTrack,' and a single-fiber delivery system that eliminates the need for fiber replacement—designed to maximize efficiency and ease of use for practitioners.

Features

- Dual Cooling Options: Air Cooling and Gas Cooling

Effective skin cooling is critical in laser hair removal to protect the skin from heat damage and minimize pain and discomfort. Clarity II allows selection between air cooling and gas cooling depending on the facility’s environment and operational needs.

・Air Cooling Features

Utilizing Cryo 6, air cooling continuously delivers chilled air during treatment, helping reduce discomfort even during large-area procedures. The airflow level can be adjusted from 1 to 9 based on treatment needs, enabling cost-efficient operation with low running costs.

・Gas Cooling Features

Gas cooling instantly sprays cryogenic gas immediately before laser emission to protect the skin. It ensures precise and uniform cooling of the treatment area and requires no external cooling unit, enabling space-saving installation and flexible room configuration.

- Dual Wavelengths (755nm / 1064nm)

With both 755nm and 1064nm wavelengths, Clarity II aims to treat a wide range of skin types and hair characteristics.

- High-Speed Firing (3Hz)

Supports rapid treatment, even over large areas.

- Maximum 25mm Spot Size

Equipped with 13 standard spot sizes ranging from 2mm to 25mm, enabling tailored treatment based on the target area.

- Automatic Firing Function 'IntelliTrack'

As the roller at the handpiece tip moves across the skin, the system automatically fires pulses in sync with the handpiece speed. This reduces uneven treatment patterns and alleviates practitioner fatigue caused by repetitive stamping motions.

- Designed for Practitioner Ease of Use

No fiber replacement is required, and spot size changes are smoothly performed via a slide-type cartridge system.
