What makes Elite iQ™ different from a standard laser hair removal device?

The Skintel™ melanin reader — it measures your skin's melanin directly rather than relying on a general skin-type estimate, which is what allows the laser settings to be calibrated to you specifically.

Where are Elite iQ™ treatments performed?

At Citizen Studio, a separate location from the West Springs clinic.

Is Elite iQ™ suitable for every skin type?

The Skintel™ calibration step is designed to support treatment across a range of skin types, but individual suitability is confirmed during a consultation.

How do I book a consultation for a treatment using this device?

Book a consultation through Mikata — see the laser hair removal treatment page for the direct link.

Elite iQ™

How it works

Before treatment, the Skintel™ device measures your skin's melanin level. The practitioner uses this reading to help select suitable Elite iQ™ laser settings.

What it may address

Unwanted hair, across a range of skin types and treatment areas, made possible by the melanin-reading calibration step.

What the appointment involves

A Skintel™ reading followed by laser passes over the treatment area. All Elite iQ™ treatments are performed at Citizen Studio, not the West Springs clinic — see the laser hair removal treatment page for the address.

Safety and suitability

The melanin-reading step exists specifically to support safe treatment across a range of skin types; individual suitability is still assessed during a consultation.
