Apogee Elite Laser

Used to remove unwanted hair, the Apogee® Elite system is an alexandrite laser for use on all skin colors and types, but preferably light to olive skin.

How it Works

The Apogee laser:

  • Uses heat to destroy hair follicles.
  • Prevents hair growth in the targeted area.
  • Affects only active or growing hair follicles, so you will need repeat treatments to eliminate new hair growth.

Benefits of Apogee Laser Hair Removal Treatments

  • Hair removal treatments are fast and relatively painless, and leave no damage to surrounding skin.
  • Because of the alexandrite laser’s larger spot size and high repetition rate, large areas of skin can be treated more quickly than with other lasers.
  • The Apogee Elite system uses a double cooling technique to keep you comfortable.

Side Effects

Sensitive skin may become pink or red in the treatment area, but this typically only lasts up to one day.
