Our Cynosure Laser
Our Cynosure Laser ELITE MPX WORKSTATION - THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY
The modern era brings a new generation of patients, and the new Elite MPX is the first aesthetic workstation designed to treat everyone.
We can deliver customized hair, vascular and anti-aging treatments to a wider range of patients – more quickly and effectively than ever before. The Elite MPX combines two laser wave lengths in one workstation. This allows us to target different structures of the skin selectively, reach a specific depth were the energy of the laser is most useful and accommodate the needs of a variety of skin types.
Our laser is safe and super-efficient on pale white skin as well as coloured skin of all shades, robust skin on the back as well as sensitive skin of the face. This makes this laser so unique and universal at the same time. We can deliver very high energy outputs with amazing results without actually harming the skin. This is also the main difference between a laser and a much more common IPL machine. IPL machines deliver lower level energy of a wider spectrum. Therefore there will always be “collateral damage” of the skin and less efficiency within the actual target, whether it is a hair follicle, a vein or a birthmark.
