The treatment
How Laser Hair Removal (Cynosure) works
The clinic uses Cynosure Elite+, which combines Alexandrite 755nm and Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelengths to target hair follicles with precision through selective photothermolysis. This dual-wavelength approach allows treatment across a broad range of skin tones and body areas while aiming to protect the surrounding skin. Because laser can only affect follicles in their active growth phase, a course of sessions is needed rather than a single visit.

Common questions
Frequently asked about laser hair removal (cynosure)
What does Cynosure laser hair removal treat?
It is used for unwanted hair across the face and body, with the aim of smoother skin and long-lasting reduction.
How does the laser work?
The clinic explains that Cynosure Elite+ uses Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths to target follicles through selective photothermolysis while minimising effect on surrounding skin.
How many sessions will I need?
The treatment page states that progressive reduction usually takes around 6 to 8 or more sessions.
Is there downtime after treatment?
Downtime is usually little to none, although temporary redness or small follicular bumps can happen and generally settle quickly.
Can it treat different skin tones?
Yes. The clinic notes that the dual-wavelength platform allows treatment across a broad range of skin tones.
What should I avoid before treatment?
The clinic advises avoiding recent sun exposure or tanning and checking whether any medication you take is photosensitising.
Can I wax between sessions?
No. The usual advice is to shave rather than wax or pluck between sessions so the follicle remains available for laser targeting.
When will I see results?
Results build progressively across the course because laser only affects follicles that are in the active growth phase at the time of treatment.
