Laser Hair Removal

The Elite iQ device offers quick, easy and personalized laser hair removal treatments using smart technology. The Elite iQ device is equipped with the FDA-cleared Skintel melanin reader. The Skintel device is equipped with technology that reads your precise skin type, so we can safely treat all skin types and areas of the body.

Laser hair removal works on the premise that light is attracted to the pigmentation in the base of the hair follicle. When the light from the laser enters the hair follicle, it travels down the shaft of the hair sending a quick burst of heat. This is an effective way to destroy unwanted hairs while keeping the skin safe. We use a specialized laser, called Alexandrite and Nd:YAG, that specifically targets the hair for permanent removal.
 
Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions to see full results. We recommend 6-10 sessions (depending on hair) for full hair loss. Full hair loss is considered 70-99%.

Treatment areas include:
  • Upper and lower lip
  • Chin
  • Neck

Note: A consultation is required prior to your first laser hair removal treatment.
