What is laser hair removal ?

Laser technology is a modern method that uses light pulses to target and destroy hair follicles. Unlike temporary hair removal methods like shaving or waxing, this treatment aims to reduce hair growth in the long term by damaging the follicle at its root. With the Cynosure Elite IQ, a sophisticated laser system, the emitted light is absorbed by melanin, the pigment found in hair. This absorption generates heat, which destroys the follicle while protecting the surrounding tissues. Thanks to this technology, the treatment effectively reduces hair density and provides smoother skin over time. 

Which areas can be treated with laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal can be performed on almost all areas of the body.

The most commonly requested areas include:

• Full bikini

• Full legs

• Underarms

• Upper lip

• Back (full or partial)

How Many Sessions Do I Need ? 

Typically, 6 to 8 sessions are recommended for significant hair reduction, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow all hairs to go through their growth cycle. The number of sessions depends on several factors, including the treated area, hair density and color, and skin type. Some hairs may be more resistant and require annual maintenance treatments to maintain results. The first few sessions target hairs in the active growth phase, which is why multiple treatments are necessary for full coverage of the area.

Is Laser Hair Removal with Cynosure ELITE IQ Pain-Free ? 

Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most people feel a mild tingling sensation in sensitive areas. With the Cynosure Elite IQ, a pulsed air cooling system is used to cool and protect the skin before, during, and after the session, ensuring maximum comfort and quick recovery. 

Is Cynosure ELITE IQ Laser Hair Removal Suitable for All Skin Types ? 

Yes! Thanks to its dual-wavelength technology, the Elite IQ combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers to accommodate a wide range of skin types, including darker skin tones, while ensuring optimal results. 

 Do I Need to Shave Between Sessions? 

Unlike waxing, which requires waiting for hair to fully regrow, you can shave the treated area between appointments. However, plucking or waxing is not allowed, as the laser needs the hair root to be present. Additionally, shaving the area the night before your session is required for the best results.

Do you offer laser hair removal for men?

Yes! However, we do not offer full intimate (Brazilian) treatments for men.

Are There Any Contraindications? 

It is recommended to avoid medications that stimulate hair growth or increase photosensitivity. UV exposure (such as tanning) should also be avoided, as it may cause redness, scabbing, or oozing. 

Laser sessions are not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, epileptic, or have certain health conditions. If you have any concerns, we advise consulting your doctor to determine whether you are suitable for treatment.
