This cosmetic procedure beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles where pulses of energy are emitted. The light converts to heat as it targets melanin, the pigment in your hair follicle, and destroys the inner stem cells without affecting the skin surface. Without stem cells, the follicle is no longer able to produce hair. We are excited to bring you new technology to help rid unwanted hair using the Cynosure Apogee Elite Laser System.

Although most patients report minimal discomfort, some admit it feels similar to light snaps of a rubber band. Redness or swelling may appear in the treated areas. The procedure is also relatively quick, but it may take up to 4 treatments to achieve desired results.

Best results are achieved after a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, followed by a biannual touch-up treatment to maintain results.
