The Elite iQ™ system works by emitting laser energy that targets the pigment in the hair follicles. This energy is absorbed by the follicles, effectively disabling their ability to produce hair. The system is equipped with Skintel™, the only FDA-cleared melanin reader, which allows for the most accurate and customized treatments for each individual’s skin type.

Yes, Elite iQ™ is safe and effective for all skin types. The system’s Skintel™ melanin reader helps to customize the laser settings for each individual, ensuring safe and effective treatments regardless of skin color. This makes it an excellent choice for those who have been unable to undergo laser hair removal with older technologies.

The number of treatments required with Elite iQ™ varies depending on the individual and the area being treated. Typically, most patients need between 4 to 6 sessions to achieve optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and multiple treatments are necessary to target the hair during its growth phase. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
