For both men and women, hair on the body and face has been an ongoing aesthetic problem for years, and many methods have been tried to combat it. Although methods such as hair removal creams, wax and razors provide instant solutions, they make the problem more chronic in the long term and occasionally cause dermatological problems.

 

Cynosure Elite+ is a laser hair removal technology that surpasses all these methods by damaging the stem cells that produce the hair, which in turn produces a healthy and permanent result. The purpose of laser hair removal, which targets the melanin in the hair, is to damage the stem cells that produce the hair by letting the melanin absorb the laser beam. Hence darker hair, which contains a higher concentration of melanin, gives faster and more successful results in hair removal treatments. 

 

Overall, there are 3 types of lasers used in laser epilation. Therefore, it is very important to determine which type of laser would be suitable and give successful results for the patient. This decision is the key to success, and it ultimately depends on the laser hair removal specialist who evaluates the skin and hair structure of the patient and recommends a particular type of laser guided by a medical doctor. On top of successful results, it is extremely critical to minimize side effects and possible operator errors. 

 

Cynosure Elite + is a laser technology that contains both the 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelengths.

 

One of the biggest features of this technology is that it enables the highly effective sessions to be performed comfortably with Zimmer Cryo6 air cooling. With this powerful cooling mechanism, it has overcome the “painful Alexandrite laser” perception that has been associated with Alexandrite laser for years. 

 

With different spot sizes that can be adjusted individually for each patient, laser scanning can be performed faster and more controlled. 

 

Cynosure Elite+ can be applied to anyone over the age of 14-15, and is suitable for all skin types. Apart from hair removal, this technology can also be used to treat age spots, sun spots and capillary vessels. 

 

Hair structures and densities differ in every body. In addition, since gender and hormonal differences also affect the number of sessions, it is not possible to state a definitive number of sessions to achieve results. However, 4-6 sessions is usually sufficient for laser hair removal treatments. Sessions are scheduled once a month for the face area and once every 6-8 weeks  for the body. 

 

The facial area is one of the most difficult areas to treat when it comes to laser hair removal, and it involves many uncertainties. The fact that shaving is not needed for this particular treatment, combined with the headpiece utilizing distance shots without touching the skin provides a comfortable experience for the patients and eliminates the possibility of the hair spreading.
