Frequently asked questions.

Yes. The Elite iQ has a built-in melanin reader that checks your skin at the start of each session and sets the treatment to match, so skin tone isn't a barrier here.

No, and you never will. Every treatment is pay as you go. If you'd like to pay ahead for a course, you save 10%.

Most people need 6 to 10. It depends on the area, your hair and your skin, and we'll talk it through at your free consultation.

Regularly. Backs, chests, shoulders and necklines, plus intimate male grooming including the Brozilian.

Yes. Price and compare: we'll beat any competitor's price. We also offer an interest-free payment plan.

Body hair grows in stages, so sessions are spaced to catch each one: every 4 to 6 weeks for some areas, every 12 for others. We'll tell you which at your first visit.

Yes. We use the Cynosure Elite iQ, you wear protective eyewear, and we've been doing this for over 24 years.

Most people say it feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin. The laser has a built-in cooling system to keep you comfortable.

Hardly any. Your skin may look a little red or pink for 20 minutes to an hour. You can put makeup on and go right back to your day.

The Cynosure Elite iQ. It combines two wavelengths, 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG, which is how we can treat every skin type quickly and safely.

Mostly. Most treated follicles stop for good, and the few that come back grow finer and lighter. Hormones, pregnancy or age can also wake up follicles that were never treated, which is why some people come back for a touch-up session every year or two.

Yes, shave as much as you like, and you'll find you need to less and less. What you cannot do is wax, pluck or thread, because that pulls out the root the laser is aiming at.

Naturally darker skin is no problem at all. The Elite iQ treats every skin tone. A fresh tan or self-tanner is different: come in at your natural color, so give it two weeks clear of both. Otherwise we'd have to go gentler and you'd get less from the session.

Gray and white hair, no. There's no pigment left for the laser to find. Blonde is often a maybe: a lot of people with blonde hair on their head have darker hair under the arms or on the legs, and that responds well. An easy way to tell is to shave and look closely. If you see tiny dark dots where the hairs were, there's pigment to work with. Anything laser can't reach, electrolysis can, and we do it right here.
