How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal harnesses the power of concentrated light to target the pigment (melanin) within hair follicles. This light energy is absorbed by the melanin and converted into heat, which effectively disables the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. The Cynosure Elite+™ system’s dual-wavelength technology allows us to precisely target hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin. This ensures optimal results with minimal discomfort, making it a safe and effective option for a wide range of individuals.

The Benefits of Cynosure Elite+™ Technology:

Precision: Targets hair follicles with pinpoint accuracy, leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
Effectiveness: Delivers optimal results, significantly reducing hair growth in just a few sessions.
Comfort: Our advanced cooling system ensures a comfortable treatment experience.

What areas can be treated?

Treatment areas can include face, underarms, legs, chest and back, including intimate or sensitive areas such as bikini and lips.

How many sessions are required?

In general, 6 sessions with intervals of 4-6 weeks are recommended, however every patient is different. It also depends on the hair growth cycle which is divided into 3 phases; anagen, catagen and telogen phases. As laser energy only works on melanin-filled follicles during the anagen phase, permanent cannot be achieved in one single session. A consultation with one of our therapists will help determine sessions required.

What skin types is laser hair removal suitable for?

Cynosure ELITE+ is suitable for ALL skin types including light and dark skin. It’s dual wavelength technology uses Alexandrite wavelength (755 nm), for fair skin types 1-3 and the Nd:YAG wavelength (1064 nm) for darker skin types 4-6.

What type of results can I expect?

You can expect to see a gradual decrease in the hair thickness and in the amount of hair present. In addition, you may also see a decrease in stubble, rashes, ingrown hairs and ‘shadowing’ of the skin. Hairs in the anagen stage successfully treated with the laser, will result on permanent removal.

Does laser hair removal cause any pain or discomfort?

Treatments are virtually painless and will vary patient to patient. Patients describe a range of sensations during treatment from tingling to the snapping of a rubber band. As the amount of hair reduces each session, these sensations also decrease. Cryo-cooling technology is also uses during treatment which decreases any sensations or heat.

Does laser hair removal cause any side effects?

Minimal to none. Slight redness and/or swelling of the treated area can be expected which may last anywhere between 2-24 hours, 48 if the patient is sensitive. As there is no downtime, patients can usually return to daily activities immediately, making sure to follow post treatment aftercare protocol. This will be given by one of our practitioners.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, significantly reducing hair growth and thickness. While it may not be completely permanent for everyone, any regrowth tends to be finer and lighter. Maintenance sessions can help sustain optimal results over time.
