The Cynosure Apogee Elite contains two laser systems – a 755
nm Alexandrite laser and a high powered 1064 nm Nd:YAG
laser – these are the most optimal wavelengths for:
Hair removal
Improvement of leg veins and varicosities
By providing two different wavelengths, the Apogee Elite
laser can be used to treat patients with all types of skin.
The addition of the YAG laser allows us to treat patients of
darker skin types for excessive hair growth, especially of
the face, arm pits and bikini lines. Patients with pseudofolliculitis
(razor bumps) on the beard, face or neck now have this option to consider.
When used for hair removal, the Apogee Elite laser affects only hair
follicles which are currently active or growing (anagen), thus subsequent
treatments may be required to eliminate the previously exhausted (catagen)
or resting (telogen) follicles as they resume production. Hair removal
treatments are relatively painless and leave no textural skin changes
or the scarring commonly seen with needle electrolysis.
The Apogee laser also incorporates the use of the Smart Cool system by
Cynosure. This system utilizes a “double cooling” technique which uses
the body’s natural cooling process in conjunction with a specifically
engineered external cooling system. The Smart Cool system is used
with the laser to minimize patient discomfort during treatment.
