How Does YAG & ALEX (Elite iQ) Work?

YAG & ALEX laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in hair follicles with focused beams of laser energy. The laser handpiece is passed over the skin, emitting energy that is absorbed by the hair follicle and converted into heat. This heat damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth without affecting the surrounding skin. Before the treatment begins, the Skintel® melanin reader is used to assess your skin type and customize the laser settings to your specific needs. Each session typically lasts less than 30 minutes, and multiple sessions are usually required for optimal results. Gradual hair reduction can be seen over time as treated follicles are permanently disabled.
