Skin assessment first
Skin tone, recent sun exposure and melanin level affect wavelength and energy selection. Settings should be individualized before each treatment.
Cynosure Elite iQ laser hair removal with provider-selected settings based on skin tone, hair characteristics and treatment area. Packages include six sessions, with the sixth session included at no additional treatment cost.
Hair follicles are not all active at the same time. A treatment series gives the laser repeated opportunities to target actively growing hairs as they cycle in. How much reduction you achieve and whether maintenance is needed depend on the area, hair characteristics, hormones, skin tone and individual response.
Skin tone, recent sun exposure and melanin level affect wavelength and energy selection. Settings should be individualized before each treatment.
Coarse, dark hair generally provides a stronger laser target than very fine, light, gray or red hair. The provider sets expectations before treatment begins.
Facial and other hormonally influenced areas may require more sessions or maintenance than areas with more stable growth patterns.
The goal is long-term stable hair reduction. Individual response varies and occasional maintenance may still be appropriate.

Elite iQ is a dual-wavelength aesthetic laser platform using 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG technology. This gives the provider options for different combinations of skin tone, hair depth and treatment area.
The system also incorporates the Skintel® melanin reader, which provides an objective measurement to help guide test-spot and treatment settings rather than relying only on visual skin-type estimates.
Your package gives you the treatment series. Your provider still individualizes settings and timing as you progress.
Review the treatment area, skin tone, hair characteristics, medical considerations and realistic expectations.
Choose the six-session package for the area you want treated. Pay for five sessions, receive the sixth included, and use a 0% APR payment plan if you prefer to split the cost.
Sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart so successive growth cycles can be treated. Timing is adjusted by area and response.
After the series, your provider can determine whether you have reached your goal or whether additional maintenance makes sense.
“Full body” can mean different combinations of areas. A consultation gives you a written plan based on the exact zones you want treated rather than forcing every patient into the same bundle.
Density and growth rate differ by area and person, so the number of maintenance treatments may not be identical across the body.
PCOS, androgen activity and other hormonal factors can influence growth patterns and long-term maintenance needs.
Wavelength and fluence are selected around the individual skin and hair combination rather than using one setting everywhere.
“I used to shave every other day. After 6 sessions the hair barely grows and it's so thin you can't see it. No more razor burn. Summer is so much easier now.”
Marisol G. — Torrance“Hated the hair on my back, always felt self-conscious at the beach. After laser it's about 70% gone and way less thick. Best money I've ever spent on myself.”
Anthony R. — San Pedro“Switched to laser bikini line and I'll never go back. No bumps, no pain, just smooth. Took a couple visits to really see it but now it's basically gone.”
Shanice T. — GardenaPackage pricing is simple. Treatment settings and results remain individualized.
Many patients need a series because laser works best on hairs in the active growth phase. Six sessions create a strong starting series, while hormonal areas and individual growth patterns may need additional treatment or maintenance.
Most patients describe brief heat or snapping sensations. Elite iQ includes cooling, and treatment parameters are adjusted to the area, skin characteristics and hair.
Elite iQ uses 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelengths and includes the Skintel melanin reader. A provider still needs to assess skin tone, recent sun exposure and treatment settings before each session.
The appropriate term is permanent hair reduction: a long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs that regrow after a treatment series. Some patients still need maintenance.
Avoid waxing, tweezing or epilating before treatment because the follicle needs to be present. Shaving is generally used instead. Your provider will give exact preparation instructions.
Hair grows in cycles, so one treatment cannot target every follicle at the same stage. Skin Works packages include six sessions while charging for five.
Laser hair removal packages are valid for 18 months, giving enough time to space sessions appropriately and complete the series.
Yes. All laser hair removal packages are available with 0% APR / no-interest payment plans, subject to approval and the terms of the selected payment option.
Convenient for Manhattan Beach, Westchester, Hawthorne, Playa Vista and the LAX corridor. Visits are by appointment only.
Choose your area, start with a free consultation, and use a 0% APR payment plan if you prefer to split the cost of your six-session package.
Laser hair removal is intended for long-term hair reduction, not a guarantee of complete or permanent elimination of every hair. Results vary by hair color, skin type, treatment area, hormonal factors and adherence to the treatment schedule. Temporary redness and swelling are common; other risks can include burns, blistering and pigment changes. Package pricing follows the current Skin Works six-session package model: pay for five sessions and receive the sixth session included. 0% APR / no-interest payment plans are available on all packages, subject to approval and payment-plan terms.
