Cynosure Elite+ Dual-Wavelength Aesthetic Laser
The Cynosure Elite+ is a dual-wavelength aesthetic workstation combining a 755 nm Alexandrite laser with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser in a single platform. This combination lets practitioners select the wavelength best suited to each patient's skin tone, extending safe and effective treatment coverage across Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI.
The 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength offers the highest melanin absorption of any commonly used hair removal wavelength, making it the most efficient option for lighter skin tones where there's strong contrast between skin and hair melanin. The 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength penetrates deeper with lower melanin absorption, making it the safer choice for darker skin tones, vascular lesions, and deeper pigmented lesions.
Elite+ supports variable spot sizes and pulse durations — including longer pulses of up to 300 ms — so treatments can be matched to thermal relaxation time for the target structure, whether that's a hair follicle, a vascular lesion, or a pigmented spot. This flexibility supports a range of applications: permanent hair reduction, treatment of benign epidermal pigmented lesions such as age spots, sunspots, and freckles, vascular treatments, and general skin rejuvenation.
For clinics standardizing on one workstation for multiple laser-based aesthetic services, the Elite+'s dual-wavelength design reduces the need for separate single-wavelength systems while maintaining Cynosure's established reliability in hair removal and pigmented lesion treatment.
