Cynosure Alexandrite Laser
What Is Cynosure Alexandrite Laser?
The Cynosure Alexandrite Laser is a medical-grade, FDA-approved hair removal system that operates at a 755 nm wavelength. Designed primarily for individuals with light skin tones and dark hair, it offers a permanent hair reduction solution through safe and precise energy delivery. The device is known for its fast pulse rate, large treatment spot size, and integrated cooling system for enhanced comfort during procedures.
How Does It Work?
The 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength targets melanin in the hair shaft. As the laser energy is absorbed by the pigment, it converts to heat and damages the hair follicle without harming surrounding skin. Over time, this damage leads to reduced hair growth. The Cynosure system includes a cooling mechanism that protects the skin and makes the treatment more comfortable.
Who Is It Best Suited For?
• Ideal for individuals with light to fair skin and dark, coarse hair
• Works effectively on fine hair as well
• Best results for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I–III
• Not suitable for very dark or tanned skin ✅
