At Laser and Me in Midtown Manhattan, we use the most advanced laser technology available to transform skin and deliver permanent results. Our Cynosure Elite+ platform combines two laser wavelengths - 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG - in a single system, making it the most versatile laser hair removal device in NYC. We also use Erbium laser for skin resurfacing and Q-Switch laser for pigmentation and tattoo removal.
The 755nm Alexandrite laser is the most effective wavelength for laser hair removal on lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-III). It delivers fast, highly effective treatment for fine and coarse hair with minimal discomfort. The Alexandrite wavelength is absorbed preferentially by melanin in the hair follicle, making it highly targeted and effective. At Laser and Me, our Cynosure Elite+ delivers Alexandrite laser energy with the Dynamic Cooling Device for maximum comfort.
The 1064nm Nd:YAG laser penetrates deeper into the skin and is safe for all skin types, including darker Fitzpatrick IV-VI tones. It is the preferred wavelength for laser hair removal on olive, brown, and dark skin. The Nd:YAG wavelength bypasses the epidermis to target the hair follicle directly, minimizing the risk of hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones. At Laser and Me, we use the Skintel melanin reader to calibrate Nd:YAG settings precisely for each client.
The Erbium laser is used at Laser and Me for skin resurfacing, acne scar reduction, and fine line treatment. It delivers precise, controlled energy to the skin surface, removing damaged layers and stimulating collagen remodeling. The Erbium laser is gentler than CO2 laser with less thermal damage and shorter recovery time, making it suitable for all skin types including darker tones.
The Q-Switch Nd:YAG laser delivers ultra-short, high-energy pulses that shatter pigment particles and tattoo ink without damaging surrounding tissue. At Laser and Me, we use Q-Switch laser for laser pigmentation reduction, melasma treatment, and laser tattoo removal. The Q-Switch laser is effective for all ink colors and all skin types.
