Overview
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal at Laser and Me uses the Cynosure Elite+™ dual-wavelength system to permanently reduce unwanted hair across every skin type and tone. By targeting the melanin in each hair follicle with precisely calibrated pulses of light, the treatment disrupts the follicle's growth cycle without damaging surrounding skin. The result is progressively smoother, softer skin with each session, leading to lasting hair reduction that no razor or wax can match.
Key Effects
- Visible hair reduction after the first session
- Permanent reduction of 80 to 95 percent after a full course
- Smooth, even skin texture with no ingrown hairs
- Elimination of razor bumps and folliculitis
- Finer, lighter regrowth between sessions

The Science
How It Works
The Elite+™ system alternates between a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, ideal for lighter skin tones, and a 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength, which penetrates deeper and is safer for darker complexions. Before each session, our technician uses the Skintel® melanin reader to determine your skin's exact melanin density and calibrate the laser accordingly. The handpiece glides over the treatment area, emitting rapid pulses of light absorbed by the hair follicle and converted to heat, disabling the follicle at the root.
