Experts agree: Cynosure Elite iQ leads the pack.
The best laser hair removal machine is one that can be safely adjusted to your specific skin type. And that’s why the Cynosure Elite iQ stands out. It combines two gold-standard laser types, Alexandrite and Nd:YAG, making it safe and effective for nearly every skin tone and hair type.
What makes it even more advanced? It’s the first laser system to include a melanin reader cleared by the FDA. This technology measures how much pigment is in your skin, helping professionals set the ideal treatment levels without guesswork.
Why personalization matters
Every person’s skin contains different levels of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Too much laser energy on darker skin can cause burns. Too little on lighter skin may be ineffective.
That’s where the Skintel® Melanin Reader™ comes in. It’s a handheld device used with the Cynosure Elite iQ that scans your skin before each session. It gives a numerical reading of your melanin levels, so your treatment can be adjusted safely and accurately.
This isn’t just marketing. The Skintel reader is FDA-cleared to measure melanin for laser treatments. That means it’s been reviewed and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to help improve safety and precision.
Two lasers, one machine
- Alexandrite (755 nm) is ideal for lighter skin tones
- Nd:YAG (1064 nm) is the gold standard for darker skin
By combining both, the machine can treat:
- All skin types (Fitzpatrick I to VI)
- A wide range of hair colors and textures
- Multiple areas, from large zones like legs to delicate spots like the face
And it does it all with greater comfort and speed than older systems.
