The smartest laser for every skin type
Our Cynosure Elite IQ is a dual-wavelength laser system that combines the 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelengths in a single platform. This means we can treat the full spectrum of skin types safely and effectively, from the lightest to the darkest complexions on the Fitzpatrick scale.
What truly sets the Elite IQ apart is the FDA-cleared Skintel Melanin Reader, the first and only device of its kind. It reads your skin's melanin density in real time and identifies the optimal energy settings for your specific skin type, lifestyle, and ethnicity. There is no guesswork, just precision.
For patients with hyperpigmentation, the Elite IQ is an especially strong choice. The Skintel Melanin Reader precisely calibrates energy levels to your skin's melanin density, allowing safe and effective treatment on hyperpigmented areas where other lasers risk making discoloration worse. Many patients find that as they stop shaving and waxing, the irritation-driven hyperpigmentation they've been dealing with begins to fade on its own.
Combined with Zimmer cooling technology, treatments are far less painful and more comfortable than older laser systems. The cooling system protects the skin's surface while the laser energy targets hair follicles beneath, delivering results without the discomfort you might expect.
Treatment areas
Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually any area of the body where unwanted hair grows.
What to expect from your sessions
After just 1 to 3 sessions, most patients visibly notice silkier, smoother results. Hair grows back finer, lighter, and slower with each treatment. We recommend a minimum of 6 sessions for optimal, long-lasting results, as the laser is most effective during the active growth phase of the hair cycle.
Sessions are spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart depending on the treatment area, allowing your body to cycle through hair growth phases. Each visit builds on the last, progressively reducing hair density until you achieve the smooth, maintenance-free skin you are looking for.
