Toronto, Ontario – October 19, 2022 – Laser Skin Clinic offers the latest laser hair removal technology with new SkinTel™, the only FDA approved Melanin Reader.

Laser hair removal has been one of the top aesthetic treatments performed worldwide for the past two decades. The technology has been improving over the decades and today it has become one of the safest and most effective methods of permanent hair removal.

History of laser hair removal

Laser hair removal was discovered in 196o’s by Theodor Maiman. The FDA approved the nD:YAG laser for hair removal in 1964, however this technology reduced hair but didn’t remove hair permanently.  

In the 1970’s, the alexandrite laser was invented. It caused the reduction of hair growth but still didn’t have enough energy to permanently remove hair.

The technology to permanently remove hair wasn’t FDA approved until 1997 when a team, Anderson and Grossman, was able to create a laser that perfected the intensity and application to the skin. The team’s laser used a concentrated light beam hitting the hair follicle and damaging it to the point it stopped any future hair growth.

Today’s laser hair removal technology

Today’s laser hair removal technology have further improved, with alexandrite, ruby, diode, Nd:YAG, and IPL hair removal methods being the most popular.

The Next Upgrade to laser hair removal came in 2012 from Cynosure Palomar Medical Technologies, a leading researcher and developer of lasers and light systems for aesthetic treatments. Cynosure developed the revolutionary Skintel™ Melanin Reader – the only FDA-cleared melanin reader for use with light-based treatments.

E. Victor Ross, M.D., Director of the Scripps Clinic Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology Center in Carmel Valley, CA, participated in the clinical validation of the Skintel reader. “The Skintel Melanin Reader is a better, more advanced way to look at skin typing compared to the conventional Fitzpatrick method,” said Dr. Ross. “The Skintel reader helps keep my eyeball honest. You can’t always accurately evaluate skin visually, especially in areas where there is underlying redness overlaid with pigmentation. The Skintel reader helps me understand what’s truly going on under the skin.”

Jeremy Green, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in private practice in Coral Gables, FL, feels that the Skintel Melanin Reader helps him better serve his patients’ needs. “The objectivity of the Skintel reader takes the guess work out of assessing a patient’s skin. It provides me with added confidence in treating my patients successfully from the first treatment.”

Introducing the Elite IQ in combination with Skintel.

The Elite iQ is the latest offering from Cynosure’s Elite family of lasers. The Elite iQ device offers quick, easy, and personalized laser hair removal treatments using smart technology.

If you have unwanted hair that you’d like removed, today’s latest improvements in technology have made laser hair removal one of the best options available as compared to other traditional methods like shaving, waxing, electrolysis, and bleaching.

“The average women will spend over ten thousand dollars and over 2 months of time during her lifetime for hair removal. Why not permanently remove it and spend your money and time on better things in life?  Laser hair removal is a gentle, safe, and effective method for permanent hair removal for small areas like the face, fingers, and toes, to larger areas like the back and legs. Common areas of treatment include the underarms, bikini line, face (upper lip, cheek, chin, between the eyebrows).

You can expect to see a gradual decrease in hair thickness and the amount of hair in the area treated each time you do a laser hair removal treatment. Because hair grows in different cycles, multiple laser hair removal sessions are required to permanently remove hair.  On average 4 to 8 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart is needed for complete permanent hair removal.”
