Why Elite MPX by Cynosure is the Best Laser for All Skin Types in Preston and Blackburn

When it comes to laser hair removal in Preston and Blackburn, one challenge stands out above all others: finding a laser system that works safely and effectively across every skin type. The diverse communities in these Lancashire towns deserve better than a one-size-fits-all approach to aesthetic treatments.

That’s exactly why we invested in the Elite MPX by Cynosure – the gold standard laser system that’s revolutionising how we approach hair removal for all skin tones. Let’s dive into why this cutting-edge technology makes such a difference for our Preston and Blackburn patients.
 
The Problem with Traditional Laser Systems
Most laser clinics rely on single-wavelength systems that work brilliantly for some patients but fall short for others. Traditional Alexandrite lasers excel on lighter skin tones but can cause complications on darker skin. Meanwhile, Nd:YAG systems are safer for darker skin but less effective on fine, light hair.
This creates a frustrating situation where many people are either turned away from treatment or receive subpar results. In multicultural areas like Preston and Blackburn, this limitation affects a significant portion of potential patients who deserve equally effective treatment options.
 
Revolutionary Dual-Wavelength Technology
The Elite MPX changes everything with its innovative Multiplex technology. This system combines two powerful wavelengths in one machine:
Alexandrite 755nm wavelength targets the melanin in hair follicles with precision, making it incredibly effective for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I-III) and those stubborn fine hairs that other systems struggle with.
 
Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength 
penetrates deeper into the skin while bypassing surface melanin, making it perfectly safe and effective for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick types IV-VI) without the risk of burns or pigmentation changes.
What makes this truly revolutionary is that the Elite MPX can fire these wavelengths either sequentially or simultaneously, depending on your individual needs. This means we can customise every treatment for optimal results, regardless of your skin type or hair colour.
 
Safety First: Why This Matters for Darker Skin Tones
If you have darker skin, you’ve probably been told that laser hair removal is either unsafe or ineffective for you. This outdated thinking stems from older laser technology that couldn’t differentiate between the melanin in your skin and the melanin in your hair follicles.
The Elite MPX’s Nd:YAG wavelength solves this problem completely. It passes safely through darker skin tones to target hair follicles beneath the surface, delivering effective results without the risk of burns, scarring, or unwanted pigmentation changes that can occur with inappropriate laser selection.
Our CQC-registered clinic takes safety seriously. Kate, our experienced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner, conducts thorough skin assessments using the Fitzpatrick scale to determine the safest and most effective treatment protocol for your individual needs.

Unmatched Comfort During Treatment
Nobody enjoys discomfort during aesthetic treatments, which is why the Elite MPX includes an integrated Zimmer cooling system. This advanced cryogen cooling technology delivers a stream of cold air at -10°C directly to the treatment area, significantly reducing any discomfort while protecting your skin.
The cooling system works before, during, and after each laser pulse, creating a much more pleasant experience compared to older laser systems. Many of our Preston and Blackburn patients are surprised by how comfortable their treatments feel – some even describe it as refreshing rather than uncomfortable.
 
Speed and Efficiency for Busy Lives
Living in Preston or Blackburn means you’re likely juggling work, family, and social commitments. The Elite MPX respects your time with its impressive treatment speed, thanks to a high repetition rate of up to 10 Hz and multiple spot size options ranging from 1.5mm to 18mm.
Large areas like legs or backs can be treated quickly and efficiently, while smaller, more delicate areas receive the precision they deserve. This flexibility means shorter appointment times and fewer sessions overall – perfect for fitting treatments into your busy schedule.
 
Perfect for Preston and Blackburn’s Diverse Community
Preston and Blackburn’s rich multicultural heritage means we see patients from all ethnic backgrounds, each with unique skin and hair characteristics. The Elite MPX’s versatility makes it the ideal choice for serving our diverse community effectively.
Whether you’re of European, South Asian, Middle Eastern, African, or mixed heritage, this advanced laser system can be calibrated to work safely and effectively for your specific needs. No more being turned away or settling for suboptimal results – everyone deserves access to professional laser hair removal.
 
Beyond Hair Removal: Multiple Treatment Options
While laser hair removal remains our most popular treatment, the Elite MPX offers so much more. This versatile platform can effectively treat:
  • Vascular lesions and spider veins
  • Age spots and sun damage
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Overall skin rejuvenation
  • Acne scarring
Many configurations also include Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) capabilities for comprehensive photofacial treatments, addressing brown spots and improving overall skin tone and texture.
