What Is Cynosure Elite+ Laser Hair Removal?
The Cynosure Elite+ is an FDA-cleared, dual-wavelength laser platform that delivers permanent hair reduction for all skin types and hair colors. It combines the 755nm Alexandrite laser, the gold standard for lighter skin tones, with the 1064nm Nd:YAG laser, which is safe for darker skin. The SmartSense™ sensor technology automatically calculates the safest, most effective energy settings for each treatment.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every Cynosure Elite+ session is performed with meticulous precision. The laser energy targets melanin in the hair follicle, heating it to the point of permanent damage while the surrounding skin remains protected by integrated cooling. Over a series of sessions, treated follicles stop producing hair, delivering smooth, hair-free skin that lasts.
How Cynosure Elite+ Laser Hair Removal Works
The Elite+ laser hair removal follows a straightforward, well-proven protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani selects the optimal wavelength (755nm Alexandrite or 1064nm Nd:YAG) based on your skin type and hair color
- The laser delivers precise pulses of energy that are absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle
- The absorbed energy heats and permanently damages the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth
- Treated hairs shed naturally over the following 1 to 2 weeks as the damaged follicles release
- Over 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart, progressive hair reduction leads to smooth, hair-free skin
Treatment Areas
Facial Hair
Unwanted hair on the upper lip, chin, sideburns, and cheeks. The Elite+ delivers precise pulses with small spot sizes for accurate facial hair removal, leaving skin smooth and free of ingrown hairs without irritation from shaving or waxing.
Underarms
One of the most popular treatment areas for laser hair removal. The Elite+ eliminates underarm hair in just minutes per session, ending the cycle of daily shaving, razor burn, and ingrown hairs for permanently smooth, confident underarms.
Bikini & Brazilian
Achieve a clean bikini line or full Brazilian hair removal with the Elite+ laser. The dual-wavelength platform delivers effective results on this sensitive area with integrated cooling for maximum comfort and minimal irritation.
Legs (Full & Half)
Treat the full legs or targeted areas like the lower legs and thighs. The Elite+ large spot size allows rapid coverage of these bigger treatment areas, with most full-leg sessions completed in under 45 minutes for permanently smooth legs.
Back & Chest
Eliminate unwanted hair across the back, shoulders, and chest. The Elite+ large spot sizes cover these extensive areas efficiently while the dual-wavelength system adapts to different hair densities and skin tones across the treatment zone.
Arms & Hands
Remove unwanted hair from the forearms, upper arms, and backs of the hands. The Alexandrite wavelength is particularly effective for fine arm hair on lighter skin, while the Nd:YAG handles darker skin tones safely.
Our Elite+ Laser Technologies
The Cynosure Elite+ combines two proven laser wavelengths with intelligent sensor technology:
755nm Alexandrite Laser
The gold standard for laser hair removal on lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I-III). The 755nm wavelength is highly absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle, delivering fast, effective permanent hair reduction with large spot sizes for rapid treatment of extensive body areas.
1064nm Nd:YAG Laser
Safe for all skin types including darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). The 1064nm wavelength bypasses epidermal melanin to target the hair follicle directly, providing effective permanent hair reduction without risk of hyperpigmentation or burns on dark skin.
SmartSense™ Sensor Technology
Built-in intelligent sensor that reads the patient’s skin in real time and automatically predicts the safest, most effective energy settings. SmartSense eliminates guesswork, ensuring optimal laser parameters for each individual’s skin type and hair characteristics for consistent, safe results.

Does It Hurt?
Your comfort options (we tailor this to you)
The Cynosure Elite+ is designed for maximum patient comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap that fades immediately. The integrated cooling system protects the skin surface before, during, and after each laser pulse. Treatments are fast: underarms take just minutes, and even full legs are completed in under an hour.
Dr. Avaliani personally selects the optimal wavelength and energy settings for your skin type and hair characteristics. The SmartSense™ sensor ensures the safest possible parameters are used. For sensitive areas, Dr. Avaliani can apply topical numbing cream before treatment, though most patients find it unnecessary due to the built-in cooling system.

Cynosure Elite+ Laser Hair Removal frequently asked questions
How does the Cynosure Elite+ remove hair permanently?
The Elite+ delivers concentrated laser energy that is absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle. This energy converts to heat, permanently damaging the follicle and preventing future hair growth. The dual-wavelength system uses 755nm Alexandrite for lighter skin and 1064nm Nd:YAG for darker skin, ensuring safe, effective treatment for all patients.
How many sessions will I need?
On average, 4 to 6 sessions are needed for optimal permanent hair reduction. Sessions are spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart to target hair in different growth cycles. Some patients may need occasional maintenance sessions, though many enjoy years of smooth, hair-free skin after completing their initial series.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
The Cynosure Elite+ is designed for maximum comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap that fades immediately. The integrated cooling system protects the skin before, during, and after each pulse. For sensitive areas, a topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
There is absolutely no downtime. You can return to all normal activities immediately after your session, including work, exercise, and social plans. Some patients may notice mild redness that resolves within a few hours. No bandages or special aftercare is required.
Is the Elite+ safe for dark skin?
Yes. The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength is specifically designed for safe treatment of darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). This wavelength bypasses epidermal melanin to target the hair follicle directly, minimizing the risk of hyperpigmentation or burns that can occur with other laser systems on dark skin.
What areas can be treated?
The Cynosure Elite+ can treat virtually any area of the face and body, including the upper lip, chin, sideburns, neck, underarms, bikini/Brazilian, full legs, arms, hands, back, chest, stomach, and shoulders. The adjustable spot sizes allow precision treatment of small facial areas and rapid coverage of large body areas.
How long does each session take?
Treatment times depend on the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip or chin take just a few minutes. Underarms typically take 10 to 15 minutes. Full legs or back may take 30 to 45 minutes. The large spot sizes on the Elite+ allow rapid coverage for faster treatments.
What is SmartSense technology?
SmartSense is an intelligent sensor built into the Elite+ handpiece that reads the patient’s skin in real time. It automatically predicts the safest and most effective energy settings for each individual, eliminating guesswork and ensuring consistent, safe results across all skin types.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes, you can shave between sessions. In fact, shaving is recommended. However, you should avoid waxing, plucking, or threading between treatments, as these methods remove the hair follicle that the laser needs to target. Shaving only removes the hair above the skin surface, leaving the follicle intact for laser treatment.
How is the Elite+ different from other hair removal lasers?
The Cynosure Elite+ is one of the only platforms that combines both the 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelengths in a single device. This dual-wavelength capability allows treatment of all skin types and all hair colors in the same session. The SmartSense sensor adds an extra layer of safety by automatically optimizing energy settings for each patient.
