Laser hair removal works by emitting wavelengths of light that target pigment (melanin) present on your skin and emitting heat that damages hair follicles, disabling them from producing more hair growth.
Elite IQ is a dual-wavelength aesthetic device, featuring the first-of-its-kind Skintel melanin reader technology to tailor treatments precisely to each person’s skin type.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal is the smarter way to eliminate unwanted hair and achieve radiant skin. Unlike shaving or waxing, which only remove the surface hairs, the elite IQ system targets the roots and inhibits future hair growth without harming nearby tissue.
During this procedure, light energy is administered using two wavelengths; one wavelength targets melanin pigment in your hair, which converts into heat; while the second wavelength targets blood vessels in your skin and converts to heat as well. Together these wavelengths effectively damage hair follicles and prevent future hair growth from that specific follicle.
Cynosure Elite iQ laser hair removal technology offers superior results over other methods. Featuring revolutionary, intelligent melanin reader called Skintel technology that automatically adapts to suit the unique tone and type of your skin tone and type. As the first FDA-cleared melanin reader it takes out any guesswork associated with setting treatment parameters to provide safe and effective results.
Cynosure Elite iQ offers more than permanent hair reduction: its advanced technology also can effectively treat sun damage, uneven skin tone, and visible veins for radiant younger-looking skin as well as aesthetic treatments to address common skin concerns.
Elite IQ laser hair removal is an ideal solution for anyone who would like to permanently reduce unwanted body hair on arms, legs, stomach, back, chin or bikini areas. The laser works by targeting pigment in hair follicles to destroy them through heating; most people can safely undergo this treatment however certain antibiotics can increase photosensitivity while pregnant women may require special consideration before receiving this therapy.
Acne Treatment
The Elite Iq System uses the industry’s first and only melanin reader, automatically adjusting treatment settings based on your individual skin tone to ensure safety and achieve the most effective results possible. Furthermore, this system offers flexibility in treating various skin issues like laser hair removal, tattoo removal and vascular lesions.
This laser system is one of the most sophisticated and flexible aesthetic workstations on the market, featuring dual wavelength technology for performing multiple treatments simultaneously and producing maximum results. Specifically designed to target hair removal at 755nm alexandrite wavelength while simultaneously treating pigmentation lesions or vascular lesions at 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength.
Laser hair removal differs significantly from traditional methods like shaving and plucking in that it actually destroys the root of unwanted hairs to keep them from returning and give you smooth, hair-free skin for good.
Lasers can effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles for tighter skin with improved complexion by stimulating collagen and elastin production with laser light stimulation. Laser light therapy may also be used to address scars, acne scars, sun damage or any blemishes present on the body.
The Elite Iq laser can help improve your complexion by eliminating discoloration, improving tone and texture, and decreasing pores. This is achieved by providing pulses of energy directly onto the skin in order to break apart lesion structures while stimulating its natural healing processes.
At your session, you will lie on a treatment table while wearing protective eyewear. A practitioner will use the Skintel melanin reader to obtain optimal treatment settings tailored specifically for your skin type, then guide the laser handpiece over the area being treated. When this laser light reaches your skin’s pigment cells it converts it to heat which damages hair follicles preventing future production.
Skin Rejuvenation
Cynosure’s Elite IQ laser platform is one of the most flexible available today, boasting two gold-standard wavelengths (755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG). Users can switch between them during one session to ensure you receive optimal treatment tailored specifically to your needs.
Laser skin rejuvenation reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, freckles, age spots, sun damage, acne scarring and vascular lesions (spider veins or facial broken capillaries, also known as telangiectasias). It works by using light energy that heats the upper layers of skin in order to promote collagen production for a younger and fresher appearance.
Elite IQ’s permanent hair reduction treatment uses a light beam that targets melanin pigment in your follicles, heating them until they can no longer produce new hairs and leading to permanent reduction with less sessions than waxing and shaving.
Laser treatments can also treat uneven skin tone and texture issues such as redness or brown spots, lighten dark acne scars or reduce visible veins on legs or arms, tighten pores and kick start your body’s natural healing processes to create more firm and toned complexion.
Elite IQ features the world’s first smart melanin reader to optimize hair removal settings for every skin type and ethnicity. Utilizing Skintel technology, which analyses melanin levels in your skin to provide objective readings that enable faster and better results than previously. Prior to this technology being available, practitioners had to guess at optimal laser settings – potentially yielding sub-par results which weren’t everyone happy with or worse, paradoxical hypertrichosis – where more hair grew back instead of less!
Vascular Lesion Treatment
The Elite IQ system utilizes two wavelengths to offer a comprehensive suite of laser treatments, from hair removal and permanent hair reduction to skin rejuvenation and the treatment of vascular lesions and benign pigmented lesions (such as age spots and sun damage).
Combining 755nm alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG lasers provides safe and effective means of hair reduction. Laser energy heats up melanin in hair follicles to damage them and diminish their ability to grow new hair, leading to permanent hair reduction after only several sessions of treatment.
Vascular lesion treatment involves the use of laser light to target vascular lesions such as port wine stains, red marks, hemangiomas and spider veins. The light energy breaks down blood vessel walls within these lesions causing them to disappear or fade altogether for healthier-looking skin that looks less tired or swollen.
This skin rejuvenation treatment offers dramatic results with minimal downtime. Leveraging the Cynosure/Palomar Icon Intense Pulsed Light and 1064nm Nd:YAG technology, this procedure works by targeting collagen and elastin fibers within your skin; heat produced from laser energy tightens these fibers tighter for firmer and smoother results.
The Elite IQ laser targets bacteria while exfoliating away dead skin cells to treat acne and rosacea, while simultaneously decreasing oil production from sebaceous glands – one common source of acne.
