Is laser hair removal a permanent treatment?
It is one of the most common questions about Laser Hair Removal and its ability to minimize unwanted hair. The answer to this question is not exactly.
Laser Hair removal is permanent hair reduction, but many factors contribute to this desired result. Every patient is different and everyone’s hair grows back at different rates.
It is a long-lasting form of hair removal that damages and destroys hair follicles and it offers a long-term solution for unwanted body hair on multiple areas of the body.
While patients will never get rid of 100% of all follicles, the number of hair follicles that produce hair can be reduced by 75%-95%. For the most effective and long-lasting results, it is recommended to have a course of 6-8 sessions and in some cases 9-12 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart.
Is It Also Effective on Darker Skin?
Cynosure Elite+ has FDA approved technology.
It is the most effective and safest laser for Asian and Black Skin Types (Fitzpatrick 4-6).
Cynosure Elite + laser uses ND Yag technology, 1064nm wavelengths which can safely pass through melanin rich skin and only treat the unwanted hair follicle blood supply without harming surrounding skin.
Air cooling throughout treatment can also enhance a patient’s comfort and satisfaction.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The laser device applies a concentrated light beam (laser) which targets the darkness of the melanin pigment in the hair follicle and destroys the follicle. Laser hair removal targets hair in its active growing phase. Usually, that is about 20-30% of the hair in the treatment area. Hair follicles in their active growing stage will die and fall out in 2-3 weeks.
Depending on the treated body area, we will wait 4 to 6 weeks for your next treatment. This period allows a meaningful amount of the remaining hair to move into the active growing phase so that your next treatment removes the maximum amount of hair. Therefore, most clients will need 6 to 8 treatments to achieve maximum results.
Specific Instructions After Laser Hair Removal
• Keep the treatment area clean
• After the treatment, the treated area may become pink, red, inflamed, or even blistered and may last several hours to several days, apply the ice or Aloe Vera cooling gels.
• Wash with a mild soap and water, but do not rub or scrub the area.
• Do not expose treatment areas to direct sunlight.
• Do not use tanning beds at any time during your treatment intervals with this laser.
• Wear a broad-spectrum sun block (UVA/UVB) and SPF 30+ should be applied to the treatment area through the course of treatment.
• Avoid shaving the treated area for at least 4 days after treatment. A few days after the treatment the hair will start to grow back. You can shave after 4 days. Within the next 2 to 3 weeks the hair that was damaged by the laser will fall out. Over a course of treatments the hair growth will slow, becoming thinner and patchier.
• Do not wax, pluck, thread or use depilatories between laser sessions, only shave if necessary.
• Avoid hot stimulation like saunas, Jacuzzi or cardio exercise for 48 hours after treatment.
Why Are Multiple Treatments Needed
On average you will require between 6 to 8 sessions to get optimum results. Treatments are required every 4-6 weeks depending on the body area treated. The duration of each session depends on area treated. As the treatments progress the amount of treated hair diminishes and therefor the sessions will become quicker. Maintenance treatments are recommended for long lasting results.
