Manufacturer: Cynosure

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. Note: All Elite iQ™ treatments are exclusively performed at Citizen Studio, 45 Greenbriar Dr NW, Calgary, AB T3B 5N4.

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.

At Citizen Studio, 45 Greenbriar Dr NW, Calgary, AB T3B 5N4 — 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.
Who makes the Elite iQ™ device?
Cynosure.
