Frequently Asked Questions
​
How does Cynosure Elite+ Laser Hair Removal work?
The Elite+ uses advanced laser light to target the pigment in the hair follicle.
The energy heats and disables the follicle, reducing future growth while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
​
Is the treatment painful?
​
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick, warm ‘ping’. The Elite+ system is designed for comfort, and sessions are much more tolerable than waxing.
​
How many sessions will I need?
​
Typically 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the area, skin type, and hair growth cycle.
​
Is it safe for all skin types?
​
Yes, the Elite+ includes both Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths, allowing safe and effective treatment across a broad range of skin tones.
​
When will I see results?
​
You’ll usually see a noticeable reduction after the first 1–3 sessions, with results improving throughout your course.
​
Can I shave between treatments?
​
Yes, shaving is absolutely fine. You must avoid waxing, plucking, or threading during your course.
​
