How Laser Hair Removal Works
The XL Elite system operates through the principle of selective photothermolysis. The device emits a highly concentrated beam of light, which is then converted into heat energy. This light is specifically absorbed by the melanin (pigment) within the hair follicles. This targeted heat damages the follicle to inhibit future growth without compromising the integrity of the surrounding skin tissue. To ensure a premium experience, the XL Elite features integrated Sapphire Cooling technology, which continuously protects and cools the skin surface to prevent overheating and enhance patient comfort.

Is the treatment painful?
Due to the high technology and its advanced integrated skin cooling system, the XL Elite minimises discomfort and protects the skin, making the treatment more comfortable and easily tolerated.
How many sessions will I need?
A minimum of 6 treatments is generally advised to achieve the best results. The exact number of sessions depends on the body area to be treated, hair thickness, colour, skin type, and the specific features of each patient.
Is it permanent?
The XL Elite achieves excellent results in the permanent reduction of hair by eliminating active follicles over a course of sessions. Some clients may require a top-up in the future if "dormant" follicles become active due to factors such as pregnancy, menopause, or certain medications for hormonal imbalances.
Are there any side effects?
The treatment minimises risks, though some reversible side effects may occur, such as skin reddening or perifollicular erythema, which typically disappear within 24 to 72 hours after the treatment.
Aftercare Guidelines
Apply a soothing moisturiser or aloe vera as recommended by your practitioner.
Avoid direct sun exposure and apply a high-factor SPF to the treated area.
Refrain from hot baths, saunas, or strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours.
Do not pluck or wax between sessions; only shaving is permitted.
