Key Benefits of Cynosure Elite+™

Permanent Hair Reduction

One of the most significant benefits of the Cynosure Elite+™ laser is its ability to provide permanent hair reduction. With a series of treatments, you can enjoy freedom from the constant maintenance of traditional hair removal methods.

Safe for All Skin Types

Thanks to its dual-wavelength technology, the Cynosure Elite+™ laser is safe and effective for all skin types, from light to dark. This means that everyone can benefit from our advanced laser hair removal treatments.

Treatment Comfort

Our laser hair removal system includes the Zimmer Cryo 6 air-cooling unit, which cools the skin during treatment to enhance comfort. This technology helps minimise any discomfort or heat sensation, making the experience virtually painless.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Laser hair removal with the Cynosure Elite+™ can be used on almost any part of the body, including:

• Face

• Underarms

• Legs

• Chest and back

• Bikini area and intimate regions

How Many Sessions Are Required?

In general, most patients require about six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on individual hair growth cycles, which include three phases: anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen phase, when the hair is actively growing. A consultation with our experienced therapists will help determine the number of sessions you need.

What to Expect During Treatment

Pre-Treatment Consultation

Before starting your laser hair removal journey, you'll have a consultation with one of our trained practitioners. This session will involve a skin and hair assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

During the Procedure

During the treatment, the Cynosure Elite+™ laser will be applied to the target area. You might feel a tingling sensation or a mild snap, similar to the flick of a rubber band. The integrated cooling system helps to minimise any discomfort, making the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Post-Treatment Care

After the treatment, you might experience slight redness or swelling in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours. It's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our practitioners to ensure the best results and minimise any side effects.

FAQs

What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to remove unwanted hair by targeting and damaging hair follicles, resulting in reduced hair growth.

How does laser hair removal work?
The laser emits light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This light energy converts to heat, which damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth.

Is laser hair removal safe?
Yes, laser hair removal is generally safe when performed by a qualified professional. Our Cynosure Elite+™ system is equipped with advanced safety features, including a cooling mechanism to protect the skin.

How many sessions are needed for effective results?
Most patients need between six sessions for optimal results. The exact number varies depending on individual hair and skin types.

Does laser hair removal hurt?
While there may be some discomfort during the procedure, it is generally less painful than waxing. The Zimmer Cryo 6 air-cooling system helps to minimise any discomfort.

What areas can be treated with laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal can be used on almost any part of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and back.

What type of results can I expect?
You can expect a gradual decrease in hair thickness and amount, as well as a reduction in stubble, rashes, ingrown hairs, and shadowing of the skin.

Does laser hair removal cause any side effects?
Minimal to none. You may experience slight redness or swelling, but this usually subsides within a few hours. There is no downtime, so you can return to your daily activities immediately.
