    The New Elite™ Hair Removal Laser: Combined Power of Two Lasers in One

    A new innovation in laser hair removal is now on the market, the Elite™ Aesthetic Workstation by Cynosure. This device combines the proven effectiveness of the 1064 & 755 nm lasers for removing unwanted hair. Cynosure remarks that the "Elite Aesthetic Workstation is the most comprehensive laser hair removal system available today."

    Greater Flexibility and Capability

    The Elite allows a physician the flexibility of removing unwanted hair from a lighter skinned patient with the 755nm laser, while safely treating a darker-skinned patient with the 1064nm laser, with the same device. "I have used Cynosure Alexandrite since 1997. I have found them to be the most effective, safest, and fastest for hair removal," said Dr. Peter Klainer of Chrysalis Plastic Surgery. "My patients have been consistently satisfied with their results."

    In addition to the removal of unwanted hair, the Elite is also effective at removing facial and leg veins as well as pigmented lesions.

    More Bang for Your Buck

    The Elite's combined technology can target unwanted hair, age spots, and facial or leg veins, all during the same treatment session. This means fewer trips to your physician's office and more bang for your cosmetic buck. By delivering multiple positive treatment outcomes, patients are able to have a faster and more pleasant experience.

    The Technology

    Laser hair removal has been performed by physicians since 1997. Since then the technology behind the lasers has dramatically improved. Now with devices like the Elite, patients are seeing lasting hair reduction and great results.
